Novotel Lyon Gerland Musée des Confluences

Novotel Lyon Gerland Musée des Confluences is a four-star mid-range hotel at 70 Avenue Leclerc, 69007 Lyon, in the Gerland district on the south side of the city, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Gerland is a large district of the 7th arrondissement known for its sports and events scene, the Halle Tony Garnier exhibition and concert hall, the Parc de Gerland and the science and research campus along the Rhône. The Musée des Confluences, named in the hotel's title, lies a short distance north along the river and is one of the city's most visited modern museums. Metro line B serves Gerland, giving a direct link to Part-Dieu railway station and the city centre, and the Presqu'île and Vieux Lyon can be reached in around fifteen to twenty minutes. The district is more spacious and less historic than the old town, and it appeals to visitors attending events, conferences or sports matches, and to those who want a quieter base with straightforward transport. The hotel is part of the Accor group's Novotel brand, which targets business travellers and families, and it offers Double, Twin and Triple rooms, with wifi and breakfast listed among the amenities. Dining in Gerland consists mainly of brasseries, casual restaurants and cafés, with Lyon's traditional bouchons located further north. No spa or pool is listed in the available information. The service character is practical, with a reception used to handling event and corporate groups as well as leisure guests. Typical rates are about €120 to €260 per night depending on season and events, with higher prices during concerts at the Halle Tony Garnier, trade fairs and the Fête des Lumières. The hotel can be reached on +33 4 72 71 11 11. Guests attending evening events benefit from the metro connection, which runs late on most nights.
