Collège Hôtel

Collège Hôtel is a 4-star hotel at 5 Place Saint-Paul, in the Saint-Paul quarter of Vieux Lyon on the west bank of the Saône, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The address faces the Saint-Paul railway station and the Saint-Paul stop on the line used for regional trains, and the Vieux Lyon metro and funicular to Fourvière are within a short walk. The Renaissance streets of Vieux Lyon, the Cathédrale Saint-Jean, the traboules and the Roman theatres on the Fourvière hill are all close, while the Presqu'île and Place Bellecour can be reached by crossing the Saône footbridges. The hotel is known for a school-inspired theme in its public areas and rooms, with classroom-style decor details that give the property a distinct personality in a quarter that otherwise offers mostly traditional or heritage-styled lodging. Listed room types are Standard Double, Superior Room, Family Room and Suite, with wifi, air conditioning and breakfast among the amenities. Breakfast is the main meal service in the available data, and dinner options are plentiful nearby, since Vieux Lyon has one of the densest concentrations of bouchons and restaurants in the city, particularly along Rue Saint-Jean and Rue du Bœuf. Prices of roughly €160 to €380 per night place the hotel in the upscale bracket, with peaks during the Fête des Lumières in early December and summer weekends. No spa or pool is confirmed in the data available, so visitors wanting wellness facilities should check with the property. The service style is that of a boutique city hotel suited to couples, friends and independent leisure travellers who want to be inside the old town rather than in a business district. Because Vieux Lyon is largely pedestrian and cobbled, guests arriving with luggage often use a taxi to the door or the nearby station. Evenings in the quarter can be lively, so light sleepers may prefer a room away from the square.
