Hotel Le Royal Lyon-MGallery

Welcome to your home in Lyon

Le Royal is a grand family residence situated right in the heart of Lyon, between the Saône and Rhône rivers. Steeped in the unique spirit of Lyon, Le Royal blends tradition and inventiveness with the timeless art of hospitality,  offering a discreet address for people who insist on the finer things in life, on quiet elegance and effortlessly generous service.

Here, every gesture and every consideration recognises you as a truly special guest and indeed, an eminent member of the family envenue 

In 1888, shortly after he had finished building the premises of the Lyon daily newspaper Le Progrès, architect Prosper Perrin was commissioned to design a grand hotel on place Bellecour...

The architect conceived a façade in Haussmannian style, and added a rotunda and an onion dome, an od to the Renaissance, the era that launched the city’s bustling trade and prosperity.

Perrin’s mixed inspirations of tradition and modernity became the hotel’s distinctive hallmark. 

Almost 100 years later, the definition still describes today's Royal.
