Le Richelieu

Le Richelieu is a four-star mid-range hotel on Rue Lalande, 69006 Lyon, in the Brotteaux district, within reach of the Parc de la Tête d'Or, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Brotteaux is a well-kept residential and business quarter on the east bank of the Rhône, characterised by wide avenues, 19th-century apartment buildings and the Brotteaux railway station building, which now houses a restaurant. The district sits between the Rhône and the Part-Dieu area, so the hotel is well placed for visitors who want a quieter base with quick access to the main railway station and the city centre. The Parc de la Tête d'Or, with its lake, rose garden, botanical glasshouses and free zoo, is a short walk to the north, and metro and tram stops nearby connect to Bellecour, Vieux Lyon and Part-Dieu. The hotel offers Double, Twin and Triple rooms, with wifi and breakfast listed among the amenities, and the format suits couples, business guests and small families. Brotteaux has a number of bakeries, neighbourhood restaurants and cafés, and the traditional bouchons of the Presqu'île can be reached by a short metro or taxi ride. No spa or pool is listed in the available information, so visitors seeking wellness facilities should confirm directly with the hotel. The service character is that of a comfortable, well-located mid-range city hotel, with an emphasis on calm rooms and a convenient address rather than on a large range of on-site facilities. Typical rates run from about €120 to €260 per night depending on season and events, with higher prices during the Fête des Lumières in early December and large trade fairs. The hotel publishes its details on its own website, and visitors can contact the property to confirm room types and arrival arrangements. The quiet avenues of Brotteaux are a pleasant contrast to the busier Presqu'île after a day of sightseeing.
