Le Royal Lyon
Place Bellecour provides a suitably grand setting for this Haussmann-style mansion that has welcomed numerous famous faces from Sophia Loren to the Beatles. Fine fabrics by Pierre Frey and Ralph Lauren adorn every corner of this five-star hotel that is now part of the Sofitel group. Decorated with toile de jouy wall coverings, the bedrooms vary enormously in size. It’s worth upgrading from a Classic room to a Superior room as it’s almost double the size. Its cooking-school restaurant, L’Institut, has fast become a Lyonnaise institution.
