Hotel Academie as the name suggests was indeed an academy in the 14th century. The hotel has been remodeled Beautifully to keep the spiral staircase and the landings with a few steps to each room. Each floor must have 4 rooms. They are very rustic and finished with a grandeur look to it. We had booked a suite and each room had its own bath and toilet; amenities included 2 TVs , an armoire in the 2nd bedroom and desks for each bedroom. The furnishings and bed linens looked inviting for a comfortable good night’s sleep. It’s a hidden gem.

Great location in old Lyon. We got a “family” room which was 2 bathrooms and 2 rooms, 1 with a king bed and one with 2 single beds a small table and chairs - perfect for me and my 2 daughters. Nicely updated room, air conditioning and nice bathrooms. The building is beautiful . Liked the water station to refill bottles and the option to have breakfast if we wanted. The stag was friendly and helpful, they reserved a cab for us to get back to the train station. Walkable to a lot of the sites, public transit, restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous property, recently renovated, and located right in Vieux Lyon. Everything is walkable, there are many good restaurants, bars, ice cream, shops, etc. While the neighborhood feels like you have stepped back in time, the rooms are very modern and well appointed. We were a group of three female travelers and the room was able to be arranged perfectly for us with three separate sleeping spaces. I’d definitely go back.

Great locations and comfortable rooms

Amazing location with a short walk to most of the major attractions of Lyon. Located in the old town you are minutes away from lots of restaurants and bars however the double glazing means none of the street sounds come into the room. The rooms were large and well maintained. Access was easy and everything just worked. Would recommend and stay again.

Exceptional boutique hotel with great staff

This hotel was exceptional. A great location near the river and other sights, we really enjoyed the service and room. The check-in staff are some of the best we've come across as they were very friendly and helpful. Our room was so lovely we didn't want to leave. We loved how eco it was with refillable water bottles in the lobby and loose leaf tea bags in the room. We would come back again no question.
