InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu, an IHG Hotel

Five stars all around for this gem of a hotel. From the moment you walk through the amazing entrance the service is exceptional. It's difficult to initially believe it used to be a hospital, but you will see hints of it throughout with imposing walls left intact and preserved ceiling trusses. The transformation is quite remarkable. Our twin room was spacious and the bathroom huge (walk in shower as well as a massive bath). We had the breakfast buffet included in our package and it did not disappoint (everything terrific but the honey in particular was amazing). We walked around the complex in the evening to see more and it was beautifully lit. The dome is the crowning glory and definitely worth a visit, even if you're not drinking at the bar. The gym is located in a different part of the complex and requires escort if you want to use it before 7.30 am. It's well equipped with the usual machines etc you'd expect at a hotel. It's a pricey stay but you won't be disappointed in the facilities, service or location.

The Intercontinental is a gorgeous hotel in a great location in Lyon . We stayed on the 7th floor overlooking the Rhone River. The view was magnificent and the room was spectacular. The room was spacious, bright and beautifully decorated. The bathroom. conveniently, was divided in two sections. The hotel, itself, was extremely clean, modern and beautiful, but the history that it holds was evident. The breakfast brunch was plentiful and delicious and the restaurant was upscale. The Dome Bar was stunning, and offered a variety of interesting drinks. The bar is a can't miss for anyone visiting Lyon. My husband and I have travelled often throughout Europe, and the Intercontinental is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

Amazingly beautiful, service-oriented hotel on the river. I had the opportunity to stay for 2 nights on business. My arrival was delayed due to flight changes but was met warmly by the front staff who were waiting for my arrival - at midnight. Check-in was efficient, professional and attentive - the staff on duty provided a quick description of the lay of this large hotel ad guided me to the relevant elevators to my room. Accessing the room required passing through a couple of card-enabled access only entrances that provides good security for those who may need this feature. Assigned room was wonderful - it was large, modern, adorned with nice furnishings, a great bed and that was able to be sufficiently cooled to counter the 31 C temperature outside. There were ample outlets for charging peripherals and lighting controls were easy and convenient to use; wifi signal was also great. Bathroom was "large" by European standards - but water pressure was a little low and the sink a trifle small. Room came with a luxurious bathrobe (much appreciated) and slippers that don't require I work hard to slip-on. Ate breakfast at the Epona (with nice outside sitting in a courtyard) - staff were great as was the food offerings. I also partook in room service - again the staff was great, the food arrived promptly, The hotel is also adjacent to a number of interesting shops, cafes and restaurants for those who don't have the opportunity to stray far. I really liked this establishment and will revisit if afforded the opportunity.

What a fabulous hotel. Perfectly situated next to the Rhone in central Lyon, within easy walking distance of the old town, in a neighbourhood teeming with cafés, bars, and restaurants. ||The hotel itself is a stunning restoration of a historic hospital, with luxuriously furnished rooms featuring high ceilings, amazingly comfortable beds, and views of either the river or the inner courtyards. The air conditioning was a welcome relief to the 35° temperatures during our visit. ||Le Dome Bar is stunning. ||The best thing about the hotel was the service, though. Professional and friendly at every encounter, offering genuine hospitality, and very patient with my rusty French! ||Highly recommended.

We stayed a few nights while touring Lyon and surrounding areas.||Overall, we had a really lovely stay. The hotel is in a gorgeously restored former hospital. The public spaces are extraordinary and so tasteful. The rooms have less historic character, but were lovely and modern. We were in a bi-level suite with great design -- ample storage, comfortable seating, light-blocking shades, and a huge bathroom with a soaking tub and roomy shower with great water pressure. The bed was extraordinarily comfortable and we didn't hear a peep of noise. Housekeeping was twice daily and very thoughtfully conducted.||Our rate included breakfast. The breakfast restaurant was pretty and had nice morning light. The buffet was wonderful, with a large array of hot and cold options, both healthy and indulgent. Service at breakfast was a little aloof.||Service at registration was warm and welcoming. The concierge service was less special--a request took multiple days to arrange over email and we joked at how frequently during our visit the concierge desk was unoccupied, with a sign to visit registration itself. A minor matter in the grand scheme but a bit surprising.||The location, right on the Rhone river, was perfect. It was a 10-15 minute taxi ride to the main train station, multiple restaurants were within walking distance, and it was an easy walk into the old city for tourist sites, shopping, and dining.||Overall, a lovely stay. I recommend without hesitation.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at InterContinental Lyon, and I must say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and professional staff who made me feel right at home. A special shoutout to the concierge, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The attention to details made all the difference. I was particularly impressed by how professionally they handled the delivery of my medications, which were scheduled to arrive during my stay. The staff ensured everything went smoothly, showing great care and attention to my needs. The hotel's ambiance was inviting, and the amenities were top-notch. I truly appreciated the kindness and professionalism of the entire team. I highly recommend InterContinental.

Very good location on the Rhône river. Most sites and restaurants are a 20 minute walk or less. Room was spacious with excellent shower. I am sure we paid less than what is on the Trip Advisor listing. Breakfast is superb. The Dome bar is a treat. The service is impeccable and friendly.

Our first time visiting Lyon, the hotel located in a great spot, very convenient to a lot of sightseeing places. The room was very comfortable, regardless courtyard views or river views, both are spectacular. Staff were very friendly, the breakfast in the restaurant (Epona) was delicious, variety selection and the fruit was very fresh. We had a great time here and will absolutely want to stay here again. Highly recommended.
