The Warwick Reine Astrid - Lyon is a contemporary upper-middle-range hotel close to several good restaurants, bars, and shops, but it's a bit outside of the city center. The 88 suites come with flat-screen TVs and kitchenettes, but despite the hotel's modern exterior, the rooms have old-fashioned, homey decor. Features include a restaurant that's open during the week (and has limited service on the weekends), a bar, a small gym with a sauna and a steam bath, a breakfast buffet (for a fee), and five meeting rooms. Travelers may also want to consider Quality Suites Lyon Confluence, which has similar amenities with a more modern look and feel.

Housed in a former 18th-century convent, the 28-room Villa Florentine is a luxurious hotel perched on a hill above the city, with stunning views over Lyon from the outdoor pool and the Michelin-starred restaurant. The property has been beautifully renovated with its historic character kept intact. Rooms are spacious with a luxe feel, though the furniture and wallpaper are showing signs of age. Its hillside location, though picturesque and offering beautiful views, also means that the hotel is reached via many steps, which can be an issue for some. Guests looking for a similar atmosphere without the climb can try the nearby Cour des Loges, another historic luxury hotel, which generally has lower rates.

This budget property has 127 spacious studios and apartments with kitchenettes that primarily attract long-term residents and business travelers, as well as tourists. Service is basic, with limited hours for reception and rooms cleaned once a week. Its location by the Gare de Lyon-Vaise train station and metro is convenient to the city center, but the rooms, which don’t have air-conditioning, can be noisy, and decor is spartan and a little worn. The Hotel Lyon-ouest, though further from the metro station, is much more clean and modern, with comparable rates.

Hotel La Residence is a basic but comfortable mid-range hotel located on the corner of a pedestrian shopping street in central Lyon. Its 67 rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, and there are several accessible rooms for people with reduced mobility. The decor of the public spaces, like the hallways and breakfast room, is somewhat dated but generally tidy and clean.
