LYON, FRANCE—Marriott Hotels officially welcomed Lyon Marriott Hotel Cité International to its portfolio on January 30, 2015. The hotel joins a further 23 Marriott Hotels in France.
The hotel offers 204 guestrooms and suites along with a wellness zone including a solarium with views over the hills of Caluire. Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport is 30 minutes from the hotel.
A selection of European dishes are served in the hotel’s La Brasserie restaurant, a space clad in wood paneling while the restaurant’s terrace overlooks Parc de la Tête d’Or, the largest urban park in France.
For business travelers and corporate meetings, the Marriott Lyon offers a conference center, including 16 meeting rooms and a multipurpose space, all with natural daylight.
Plans for a full renovation in 2015 are in progress and will be managed by Les Clés du Luxe, owners of the hotel since July 2014. The new design, envisioned by architects Albert Constantin and Marie Courdouan, will see modernization of the rooms, meeting spaces, fitness center and restaurant, as well as the creation of a new bar. The hotel will remain open throughout the renovations with minimum disruption to guests.
“Our entry into the Marriott Hotels portfolio marks a new stage in the development of the largest hotel group in the Rhône-Alpes region,” said Emmanuel Comble, managing director, Les Cles du Luxe.
