Hôtel du Dauphin is a 2-star budget hotel in the Ainay quarter, a short walk from Place Bellecour and Perrache station.
Hôtel du Dauphin is a 2-star budget hotel on Rue François Dauphin in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France, on the Presqu'île within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Rue François Dauphin lies close to the Cordeliers and Bellecour area, only a few minutes on foot from Place Bellecour, one of the largest public squares in Europe, and near the Saône quays with their footbridge to Vieux Lyon. The street is listed in the Ainay area, and the wider neighbourhood combines nineteenth-century Presqu'île architecture with cafés, shops and restaurants. Bellecour and Cordeliers metro stations, on lines A and D, are close, connecting visitors to Part-Dieu, Perrache and the Fourvière funicular at Vieux Lyon. The hotel is a budget property with typical rates of about €60 to €120 per night and lists single, double and twin rooms, with wifi and an optional breakfast. No restaurant, pool or spa is recorded in the available data. The service character is that of a simple, traditional two-star hotel suited to solo travellers, couples and visitors who plan to spend most of their time exploring. The Presqu'île offers a very wide range of eating places within a few minutes' walk, including Lyonnaise bouchons, wine bars, bakeries and international restaurants, and the Rue de la République pedestrian street and the Saône markets are close. Cultural attractions within walking distance include the Musée des Beaux-Arts on Place des Terreaux, the Théâtre des Célestins and the Opéra de Lyon. Further information is available on +33 4 78 37 18 34 or at hoteldudauphin.fr. Lyon's compact centre makes it easy to see most major sights on foot from here. Early risers can reach the quays for a morning walk, while evening visitors can browse the lit shopfronts of the pedestrian streets before returning to a quiet side street, which keeps the stay both central and restful for most visitors.
