Nestled slightly above the Roman theater and Odéon down the Basilica is Lyon's Fourviere Hotel located at 23 rue Roger Radisson. It has reinvented the convent which used to be for the Visitation Sisters, who had left the Croix-Rousse neighbourhood near it due to social unrest then. Moreover, Fourvière Hotel opens up towards the serene Gardens of the Visitation while also offering exclusive car parks.

The Parc des Hauteurs where this hotel lies was initially made as an enclosure for nuns but it is now situated near a calm park space. Nearby is Parc de la Visitation, a beloved public park favored by locals.

Rooms and Amenities

The interiors, however, could be regarded as modern for the rooms; they are sparsely furnished in terms of maximalism and painted in bold shades of modernist colors; there are black and white portraits of local famous persons glued to the doors. The cellule quarters are still fairly small as were the original cells that the name derived from. However, there are other types of rooms such as junior suites, signature suites as well as lofts, covering a huge space in the same manner as any modern luxurious hotel room would.

Inside an extensive wellness section there is a 25-meter heated lap swimming pool while two restaurants serve both guests and locals alike: for example, Les Téléphones one is posher than a second one named Le Bouchon which meets all Lyon historical bistro expectations of gourmet meal. Provided with a basket containing different kinds of wines they partake. Even though it is right in the heart of the city the shorter ways to get there are on foot either from Basilica or Roman Theater.

Spa And Swimming Pool

For the period of your staying at Fourvière Hotel we offer you to spend some time in Fourvière-Les-Bains, our Health center.

Part of the services provided to the residents of the hotel is a year-round heated swimming pool, which is divided into two sections: 25 meters for swimming; an available and equipped SPA area with a jacuzzi, a hammam, sensorial showers and an ice fountain.

In the garden, people can engage themselves in game of boules lyonnaises for some moments of amusement and leisure in case the weather is hot.
