Fourvière Hôtel
Fourvière, France
A former convent becomes an inviting base on Fourvière hill, with a chapel reception and a cloister that remains the centre of the building. Bedrooms are contemporary and colourful, with doors celebrating figures from Lyon’s history. Les Téléphones serves meals around the colonnades, and the long heated pool rewards an afternoon spent walking. Entry-level Cellule rooms are compact, so compare categories if you prefer more space. The Roman theatres and basilica are nearby.
