Le Royal Lyon - MGallery

Le Royal Lyon - MGallery is a five-star hotel at 20 Place Bellecour, on the Presqu'île of Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Place Bellecour is one of the largest open squares in Europe and sits at the heart of the city, so the hotel stands within walking distance of the pedestrian shopping streets, the Saône quays, the Vieux Lyon district across the river and the Bellecour metro interchange (lines A and D). The Lyon Part-Dieu and Perrache railway stations are each a short metro ride away. The building is a historic address on the square, and the MGallery label from the Accor group signals a boutique approach with a classic French character rather than a standardised chain format. Accommodation ranges from Double and Superior rooms to Junior Suites and full Suites, with air conditioning and wifi listed as standard amenities. Some of the upper categories are noted for outlooks over the square, which visitors often request when booking. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, and breakfast is served on site; Lyon's reputation as a gastronomic capital means guests also have many bouchons, bistros and starred tables within a few minutes' walk, in particular around Rue Mercière and the Cordeliers quarter. A concierge service is listed among the amenities, and the staff can typically arrange restaurant reservations, theatre and opera tickets and guided visits of the traboules and Fourvière hill. No spa or pool is listed in the available information, so visitors wanting a wellness facility should check with the property before arrival. The service character is that of a classic city-centre luxury hotel, suited to couples, leisure travellers staying a few nights and business guests who prefer a central address. The nightly rate typically falls between about €300 and €800 depending on season, room category and events such as the Fête des Lumières in early December, when demand and prices rise sharply. The location makes it a convenient base for the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Hôtel de Ville and the Opera house, all reachable on foot.
