Hôtel Fort Saint Laurent – Handwritten Collection
Croix-Rousse slopes, France
Fort Saint Laurent turns a sixteenth-century building on the Croix-Rousse slopes into a contemporary hotel with stonework, high ceilings and exposed beams. Its 35 rooms have individual layouts, and the elevated position opens up views across Lyon. In summer, the terrace bar is a particularly pleasant place to stop before heading out. Expect slopes and stairs around this part of the city; it rewards visitors who enjoy exploring a neighbourhood beyond the main shopping streets.
