Hôtel de l'Abbaye Lyon - Boutique Hôtel
From
220.909 €
“Discreet address on rue de l'Abbaye d'Ainay, a stone's throw from the Romanesque basilica and the Thursday morning flea markets.”
L'Hôtel de l'Abbaye Lyon occupies a quiet street in the 2nd arrondissement, between the basilica of Ainay and the Saône quays. We appreciate the human scale, the score of 9,2/10 on nearly a thousand reviews, the room service that works well. The rooms are sober, some family-friendly, all non-smoking, free Wi-Fi everywhere. The restaurant attracts a loyal Lyonnais clientele, which remains the best sign. From 221 € per night, a rate consistent for a boutique-hotel of this calibre. Pets are admitted, which simplifies weekends with a dog 🐾
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the address to couples looking for a discreet pied-à-terre to explore Lyon without staying in the Bellecour crowd. Families find adapted rooms there, travellers with dogs real flexibility. It is also a good base for antique dealers and bargain hunters, the Ainay district concentrating flea markets and galleries.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The hotel occupies a typical Lyonnais building in the 2nd arrondissement, without particular architectural pretension but well maintained. The interior spaces play the contemporary boutique-hotel card, neutral tones, sober furniture. The scale remains intimate, one guesses a maximum of twenty rooms. The facilities for disabled people confirm a recent compliance.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The restaurant attracts a local clientele, a sign that the table does not live solely on passing guests. We do not know the chef or the precise orientation of the menu, but the room service works, which allows dining in the room if needed. The breakfast is not detailed in the data, we assume a classic buffet formula.
