InterContinental Lyon: A blend of history and modernity.

InterContinental Lyon: A blend of history and modernity If you're looking for a place to stay in Lyon, France that captures the essence of the city, the InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu is the perfect choice. The moment you step into the hotel, you're hit with a sense of history. It was converted from the old Grand Hôtel-Dieu, a building that has stood in Lyon for over eight centuries and is like a living history book. Every brick, every structure, silently tells a story from the past. The renovation and reopening in 2019 is like adding a modern footnote to this history book. The hotel's 144 rooms and suites are like little worlds of their own. I was lucky enough to stay in one of them, where the decor was full of detail and modern comforts blended perfectly with the charm of the old building. The duplex suite, with its high location, has huge windows that are like a natural picture frame, embedding the view of the Rhône River. The original architectural style of the ceiling makes you feel like you can reach out and touch history. The presidential suite is even more stunning, with its unique pink tones and elegant floral patterns, and the spaciousness of the space is incredibly luxurious. It's no wonder it's the largest suite in Lyon. The hotel's multi-purpose conference hall, L'Academie, is huge, with 12 meeting rooms spread over 1,500 square meters and can accommodate up to 460 people. This is very convenient for business travelers, and tourists can also feel the hotel's atmosphere and thoughtfulness. The old town of Lyon is a World Heritage Site. After a day of sightseeing in the city, returning to the hotel is like returning to a modern haven from an old scroll. Here, you can immerse yourself in Lyon's long-standing silk culture and rich historical sites, and enjoy the quality service of a modern hotel. The InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu is like a microcosm of Lyon, bringing a unique experience to every guest in the interweaving of history and modernity.
