Location
Lyon fully lives up to its reputation as France's second metropolis, at the hub of an important road and motorway network, two train stations (Perrache and Part-Dieu) and a recently renovated airport able to accommodate its own TGV station (high-speed bullet train).Lyon is packed with culture and sightseeing opportunities. The city's status as a cultural centre is highlighted by such facilities as the Lyon Opéra, the Institute Lumière, the Maison de la Danse, and there are 27 museums in the city. In Roman times Lyon was regarded as the second city of the Roman Empire and it now has the oldest Roman archaeological site outside of Rome.Many consider Lyon the gastronomic capital of all France, and the city is packed with restaurants producing local specialities such as andouillettes, a savoury beef sausage. Any visitor to the city will be delighted with the number of fine dining opportunities that exist in Lyon. Wonderfully located in the heart of Lyon, the Boscolo Grand Hotel was built towards the end of the 19th century. The hotel is an impressive building, combining the elegance, charm and tradition of the past. On the banks of the Rhône, it blends into the city's historic, artistic and cultural heritage. Near a busy pedestrian shopping area, between Bellecour and the Opéra and just a few minutes' walk from the old city, you can enjoy a privileged moment within an exceptional setting.From the AirportSaint-Exupery Airport - 28 kmFrom the Train StationPerrache Station or Part Dieu Station - 2 kmFrom the Metro StationTake the metro at Perrache and get off at Cordeliers The hotel is 200 metres away. |
