College Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Lyon
About the Hotel
School-Themed Rooms
All 40 rooms feature white floors and linens with a bright-red Eames Daw chair. Each includes a flat-screen television embedded in a blackboard and a 1960s fridge stocked with complimentary soft drinks. Some rooms offer a balcony with panoramic views of Vieux Lyon, while others have a private terrace. Bathrooms include either a bathtub or walk-in shower.
Breakfast and Baràgones
A buffet breakfast with fresh bread, croissants, fruit bowls, cheese, charcuterie, and eggs is served in the Cantine, which features original classroom-style furniture and book-filled shelves. Next door, Baràgones serves South American-inspired cocktails with charcuterie platters, nachos, beef or vegetable empanadas, and light snacks.
Library and Rooftop Terrace
The hotel has a well-stocked library with leather Chesterfield sofas and an expansive roof terrace with deck chairs, a gym area, and lime-green Fermob chairs. The terrace offers sweeping views of Vieux Lyon. A vintage vaulting horse from 1914, recuperated from a school gymnasium near Paris, adds to the unique decor.
Vieux Lyon Location
College Hotel is in Vieux Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, surrounded by Renaissance-era mansions with hidden courtyards. It is a 5-minute walk from Cathedral Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Musée d'Histoire de Lyon, and a 10-minute walk to Daniel et Denise restaurant at 36 rue Tramassac. The Gallo-Roman Theaters, Traboules, and Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière are also within walking distance.
Meeting Rooms and Services
The hotel offers meeting rooms decorated with vintage furniture, each with access to a garden terrace-a rare feature in Vieux Lyon. Services include a drinking water fountain on the ground floor, ironing facilities, heating, air conditioning, and soundproofed rooms. The hotel's Art Deco facade features 130 windows that light up as part of a nightly light show.
