Hôtel Tête d'Or

Hôtel Tête d'Or is a budget hotel at Passage Cazenove in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon, France, in the Brotteaux district close to the Parc de la Tête d'Or. The park is the largest urban park in the city, with a lake, botanical garden, rose garden, zoo and wide lawns, and the hotel's location makes it a convenient base for visitors who enjoy walking, running or picnicking there. Brotteaux is a bourgeois residential and business quarter east of the Rhône, characterised by Haussmann-style apartment buildings, brasseries and the Brotteaux railway station building, and it lies between the Presqu'île and the Part-Dieu business district. The Masséna and Foch metro stations on line A and Lyon Part-Dieu station are within reach, so the historic centre of the Presqu'île and Vieux Lyon can be reached in about fifteen to twenty-five minutes by metro. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, with typical rates of about 75 to 150 euros per night. Wifi and a breakfast service are the listed amenities. There is no spa, pool or full restaurant on site, but the district has numerous bakeries, bistros and restaurants, including traditional Lyonnais tables, within a short walk. The service character is that of a small, independent city hotel that suits independent travellers, business visitors with meetings near Part-Dieu or Cité Internationale, and families who plan to spend time in the park. The neighbourhood is calmer in the evening than the Presqu'île and has an authentic local atmosphere, with a market and shops along the nearby streets. Guests arriving by train at Part-Dieu can reach the hotel in a short taxi ride or by metro. Visitors with cars should check parking options with the hotel in advance. A stay of two to four nights works well for combining the park and the Cité Internationale area with day excursions into the old town and to the nearby Beaujolais wine villages.
