What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 16 rooms are a master class in adapting classic architecture for contemporary hospitality use; the atmosphere... is aristocratic without feeling intimidating.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in private wooded grounds in suburban Écully, minutes from the village centre and west of central Lyon.
The rooms
Bedrooms set crisp modern furnishings against original timber beams and plaster mouldings, looking out onto the wooded grounds.
Restaurant Maison d'Anthouard
The veranda restaurant looks across the wooded grounds, serving seasonal French dishes that move onto the terrace in summer.
Bar à vin
Bartenders pour regional wines at a counter engraved by Les Étains de Lyon, set over original mosaic floors.
How it began
The house takes its name from General d'Anthouard, a Napoleonic artillery commander whose name is inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe.
