Housed in a series of restored buildings from the 14th- to 17th-centuries, the luxury Cour Des Loges is a historic hotel with atmospheric interiors that mix Old World style with contemporary pieces. The centerpiece is a stunning courtyard with a glass ceiling. The 60 guest rooms, while a bit dark, have striking antique decor with paintings and beautiful woodwork. Some of the rooms have bedrooms and bathrooms on separate levels, so guests who are not comfortable with that should make sure to book single-floor rooms. Located in Lyon’s historic center, the hotel is within walking distance of attractions and surrounded by restaurants, plus it has two restaurants of its own, including the Michelin-starred Les Loges. There’s also an indoor pool, spa, and a well-regarded concierge staff. The collection of buildings and staircases might not be the best choice for less mobile travelers, but is worth the splurge for those who love historic charm. Travelers might want to compare rates with the nearby La Tour Rose, which also has stylish rooms and an upscale restaurant.

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.

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.
