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.

Scene
Contemporary hotel with a mix of modern and homey interior decor
The dreary brown stone exterior of Warwick Reine Astrid – Lyon doesn’t reflect what lies within. Though room decor is a bit old-fashioned and homey, the lobby goes for a more modern look with cream-colored tiled floors, brown armchairs and couches, and colorful artwork on the walls. The restaurant's interiors are contemporary and minimalistic, with light-gray chairs, wooden tables, tan carpeting, and striped curtains over floor-to-ceiling windows. The bar is a bit more casual, with plush tan chairs and orange cushions. There's also a lovely outdoor terrace, with gray woven chairs and white tables shaded by umbrellas. The terrace looks out on a lovely garden with roses, trimmed hedges, and green trees and bushes. The hotel attracts both business travelers and because all of the rooms have kitchenettes, it's a good choice for extended-stay tourists, including families and groups.
Location
Close to some attractions, but a long walk from the historic city center

Homey, old-fashioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, kitchens, and air-conditioning

Beds with thick white comforters are paired with abstract or homey framed artwork. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and kitchens with minibars, microwaves, stoves, dishwashers, and kettles. Higher-category suites add living rooms with couches.

Features
Gourmet restaurant, bar, breakfast, small gym, sauna, meeting rooms, and on-site parking
Warwick Reine Astrid - Lyon provides a decent array of amenities. The Lounge Restaurant and Bar serves French gourmet cuisine in a lovely space and also has a beautiful outdoor terrace with seating for the warmer months. Unfortunately, the restaurant only offers cold dishes and small snacks on the weekends, and room service is only available during the week (and has limited hours). Breakfast is available for a fee, but it's free for kids 12 and under. Other features include a small fitness room, with a couple of cardio machines, a weight machine, and free weights, plus a sauna and a steam bath that looks a bit worn. Five fully equipped meeting rooms are available, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Parking is available for a fee, and pets are welcome for an additional fee.
