Globe et Cécil Hôtel

Globe et Cécil Hôtel is a 4-star hotel at 21 Rue Gasparin, in the Presqu'île of Lyon's 2nd arrondissement, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The street runs between Place des Jacobins and the Cordeliers area, a short walk from Place Bellecour, Rue de la République and the Rhône and Saône banks. The Bellecour and Cordeliers metro stops are close by, giving direct links to Part-Dieu and Perrache stations, and the pedestrian streets of the central Presqu'île, with their shops, cafés and restaurants, begin at the door. The property occupies a traditional Presqu'île building and is run in the style of a family-oriented independent hotel, with classic décor and a personal welcome rather than the standardised look of a large chain. 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 on-site meal in the available data, while the surrounding streets have a wide choice of bouchons, bistros and brasseries for lunch and dinner, including options around Place des Jacobins and the Saint-Nizier area. Prices of roughly €160 to €380 per night place the hotel in the upscale bracket, with higher rates during trade fairs, the Fête des Lumières and peak summer weekends. No spa or pool is confirmed in the information available, so guests wanting such facilities should check directly. The service character is intimate and suited to leisure visitors, couples and business travellers who want a central address without the scale of a large business hotel. Walking is the easiest way to see the area, and the hotel is well placed for visits to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Hôtel de Ville and the covered passages of the Presqu'île. Guests arriving by train from Perrache can reach the hotel by a short metro ride or a taxi.
