Lyon, France Bellecour - Hotel Dieu
InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu by IHG
Restored hospital heirloom
Restored hospital heirloom
Grand stone arcades and quiet courtyards meet a buzzing lounge set directly beneath the monumental thirty-two-metre dome.
“The contemporary decor reflects the city’s history; for example, the silk accents are a nod to the historic silk weaving industry.”
Where it shines
Remarkable
A monumental 800-year hospital conversion crowned by Jacques-Germain Soufflot's grand eighteenth-century dome along the Rhône.
Notable
Jean-Philippe Nuel pairs monastic stone arcades with custom Lyonnais silk panels and double-height duplex suites.
Notable
Attentive multilingual service, evening turndown, and Byredo amenities across expansive river-facing rooms and high-ceilinged suites.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
In a fruitful contrast with the architecture, its interiors are pure contemporary-luxe, thanks to the work of the Parisian designer Jean-Philippe Nuel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the Presqu'île along the Rhône, the property sits steps from Place Bellecour and the cobblestone passageways of Old Lyon.
The rooms
Duplex suites frame river views through double-height windows, softened by custom Lyonnais silk panels and monochrome marble bathrooms.
The spa and gym
Tucked into the historic cloister wing, Spa Cinq Mondes provides a hammam and sauna beside a 24-hour gym.
Dogs stay too.
Epona Restaurant
Mathieu Charrois reinterprets classic Lyonnais dishes, served under exposed timber beams or outside on the cloister garden terrace.
At the table
Bar Le Dôme serves craft cocktails and monthly brunches beneath the monumental stone dome designed by Soufflot.
How it began
Operating as a hospital for eight centuries until 2010, the monumental riverside complex is where one in three living Lyonnais was born.
