The house
RadissonRenaissance courtyard residence
Four joined Renaissance residences form a private labyrinth of stone arcades and courtyards beneath a soaring glass canopy.
“Splendid architectural details recall the Florentine merchants, spice traders, and Jesuits who were all previous tenants.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Four interconnected Renaissance townhouses classified as a historic monument with fourteenth-century foundations.
Notable
A seventeen-meter glass roof encloses the multi-level stone arcades and spiral staircases.
Notable
Long-tenured staff carry decades of pride across the intimate courtyards and dining rooms.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The entry courtyard alone, doubling as lobby and ringed with arched walkways, is well worth the price of admission; winding stone staircases and multi-level arcades join its multiple buildings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Vieux Lyon's cobbled alleys brim with traditional bouchons, medieval passageways, and the archeological garden by the cathedral.
The rooms
Rooms keep their chiseled stone walls and timber beams, and suites add original period fireplaces.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
A wooden sauna and glass-roofed solarium hide beneath stone vaults, and treatments draw on Pure Altitude rituals.
Restaurant
Les Loges
Tables fill the marble courtyard under tiered stone arches for Chef Anthony Bonnet's Michelin-starred tasting menus.
At the table
Bar 1341 serves cocktails at a curved counter, and adjacent bistro Le Comptoir prepares modern Lyonnais classics.
How it began
Local hotelier Jean-Luc Mathias spent five years linking four separate Renaissance-era townhouses before opening in 1987.
