Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel

Amazing hotel, the coolest, quirkiest place in Lyon I think. Such a fascinating old building and excellent service from all staff. One tip: The hotel is located in the pedestrian zone...so if you are arriving by car, you have to navigate to Rue Lainerie, which brings you to a bollard in front of the pedestrian zone. Ring the hotel when you get there and speak to the concierge who will give you a code to make the bollard go down, he'll also help you navigate the narrow pedestrian streets. Massive thank you to the concierge for all the help! We only stayed one night, but it was magical, every part of the hotel is just so special. We loved the cosy bar and the spa. Hot tub was amazing and the little gym room was small but well-equipped. Concierge booked a lovely restaurant for us (Soleil). Room was small but cosy with the most amazing huge bath. Wish we could have stayed longer in this incredible hotel. Definitely worth staying here while you're in Lyon!

The Cour de Loges has an great location and old world ambiance, being a historical building in Old Lyon. It’s very dark which feels gloomy. And the rooms of the reception area are a mishmash of dark sitting rooms, not inviting. The staff was wonderful! At first glance the rooms are what I would call dreamy, like you woke up in another era. But when you really start to live in the room, so many things made the stay below par, most notably the bathroom. There was a step up into the bathroom, another safety issue when you get up in the middle of the night. Our shower was built into a dark closet with a light so dim you could barely see, which I found unsafe. The hair dryer was so old and heavy and cumbersome to use. In general the room felt like it was getting a little long in the tooth, dings in the wall and rickety table. There are no information sheets in the room that we could find, and when we wanted to call the front desk we couldn’t figure out how to use the phone, as it wasn’t the usual hotel room phone. The bed itself was comfy. I found out upon leaving that the hotel will soon be closing for a remodel, which it desperately needs. Can’t wait to see what that does to room rates. I hope the remodel maintains the old world feel , but brightens it up and brings the rooms up to a more modern standard. Thankfully the staff was truly terrific, which outweighed the negatives.
