About this stay
Perched on the historic Fourvière Hill, this hotel provides a tranquil escape with panoramic views of Lyon's Old Town. Guests can enjoy the year-round heated outdoor pool, relax on the sun terrace, or unwind in the hot tub and hammam. The property blends historical architecture with modern comforts, offering a unique stay. Dining options include a bistronomic restaurant overlooking the cloisters and a casual cafe. A traditional Lyon-style boules court adds a touch of local charm, and the hotel's own 'traboule' passageway offers a distinctive way to explore.

Our take
Fourvière Hôtel trades a flat city-centre address for a hilltop setting above Lyon's Old Town, with views to match. Its year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tub and hammam are rare in Lyon, and a restaurant, cafe and traditional boules court add character. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed. The hill means a climb or a funicular ride back from the centre. I take its 8.7 rating over 2,872 reviews as a strong sign.
- ✓Take advantage of the heated outdoor pool and hammam for a relaxing afternoon.
- ✓Explore the hotel's 'traboule' passageway for a unique architectural experience.
- ✓Dine at Restaurant Les Téléphones to enjoy bistronomic cuisine with cloister views.

Why guests love itFourvière Hôtel sits on Fourvière Hill above Lyon's Old Town, and its heated outdoor pool, open all year, is why I would suggest it to families. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, some with city or garden views, and the sun terrace and traditional Lyon-style boules court keep children busy between outings. Parents can use the hot tub and hammam. A restaurant and a cafe are on site. An 8.7 score over nearly 3,000 reviews is reassuring.
