Scene
A sleek lobby and a swank lounge for design-savvy leisure and business travelers
Designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, the Crowne Plaza Lyon – Cité Internationale occupies a modern building with a striking glass panel covering the facade. The sleek lobby has an espresso-wood reception desk, seating with attractive chrome legs, and overdyed denim-blue area rugs. The swank bar and lounge and colorful bistro are decidedly midcentury in style, with curved-back chairs and rows of brushed- gold, space-age pendants. The hotel attracts business, many here for conference, and on weekends, there are a fair amount of leisure travelers, especially couples.

There are other hotels and a few restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but the area is not as ideal for most leisure travelers and tourists. - Two-minute walk to Tete D'Or park
