Those travelers who appreciate both the glories of the past and the innovation of the future will adore Lyon, home to the warm and welcoming Villa Florentine. Just two hours by train from Paris, the dynamic city provides a spectacular backdrop for signature Relais & Chateaux élan, beginning with a fusion of period furnishings and contemporary design aesthetics. Among the hotel(TM)s many treasures is the Michelin-starred dining room, beautifully positioned in the original Trinity Convent and featuring a winter garden, summer terrace and panoramic views of the city.

Best hotel in the world for dinner, view, location, and kindness, in addition, valet parking. I'd like to be here again.

A hotel you would give 6 stars to. There can be expectations from a 5 star Relais & Chateau, and Villa Florentine exceeds any expectations. The staff are wonderful, helpful and engaging. Our room was sublime and the food exquisite. We enjoyed everyday we had in Lyon.

Loved the Villa Florentine team, location, food, and room. Our only issue was that the bed was too soft. I woke up every day with a backache. After 3rd day, shooting pains. By checkout, I couldn’t even lift my carryon. We are now at another hotel in another city and I woke up with no pain at all even though we walked 12k steps yesterday. Fix the bed and this would have been a 5+ review.

There is one word to describe Villa Florentine, Lyon: “Exceptional” for its service, attentiveness of the staff, cleanliness and location. When we arrived at the Hotel, we were immediately greeted outside the Hotel entrance by Kevin in Guest Relations. We were then given a tour of the hotel’s historic heritage. Our Junior Suite was spacious with several windows overlooking Vieux Old town. The view was amazing especially when the sun rose in the mornings and night lights in the evenings. The staff were so friendly, always greeted us and ready to assist in our dinner plans. The location was ideal within walking distance to the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere and the Roman Theater & Museum. Villa Florentine is truly a 5-star hotel. Staying there made our vacation in Lyon a memorable and special experience.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment (we were traveling with a family group). We had a wonderful 4 night stay, and would love to come back. The facility is very nice, and the location is perfect. It has an amazing view yet it is just a few minutes walk to the heart of the old town. But what separates it from other luxury hotels is the warmth and attentiveness of the service. Probably the friendliest service we have ever received, and we have travelled a lot! Quick note on the Michelin restaurant - beautiful view, and very good food, but it didn’t blow us away. That being said the price was very reasonable, so still a very good value.
