Crowne Plaza Lyon - Cité Internationale

Crowne Plaza Lyon - Cité Internationale is a 4-star hotel at 22 Quai Charles de Gaulle in Lyon's 6th arrondissement, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It stands on the Cité Internationale development beside the Rhône and the Parc de la Tête d'Or, the city's large urban park with its lake, botanical garden and free zoo. The Cité Internationale also contains the Centre de Congrès, the Musée d'Art Contemporain, a cinema complex and a range of restaurants, making the area self-contained for business visitors and leisure travellers alike. The city centre and Place Bellecour are reachable by tram and bus links from the Cité Internationale, and cycling along the Rhône banks is a popular alternative on fine days. As part of the IHG Crowne Plaza brand, the hotel has the modern, business-oriented look of a congress-district property rather than a historic building. Listed room types are Standard Double, Superior Room, Family Room and Suite, and wifi, air conditioning and breakfast are among the listed amenities. Breakfast is the main meal service in the available data, while the Cité Internationale and the nearby park entrances provide dining options within walking distance. Rates of about €160 to €380 per night place the hotel in the upscale bracket, and prices rise sharply during major conferences and trade events held at the neighbouring congress centre. No spa, pool or fitness room is confirmed in the information available, so guests who need them should check directly with the property. The service character is business-oriented, with meeting-friendly facilities typical of the brand, but the park setting also suits families and leisure guests who want green space close to the door. The location is quieter than the Presqu'île in the evening, and guests wanting the old town atmosphere will need to travel into the centre.
