Hotels
Last updated date : 25/02/2026
Located in Vieux-Lyon, just a stone's throw from Saint-Paul station, the Académie Hôtel is housed in a 15th-century Renaissance building. This unique, fully renovated hotel, a testament to 7 centuries of hospitality, offers a skilful blend of the contemporary and the restoration of heritage.
Its inner courtyard has been restored to its former glory, while several remarkable features have been restored, such as sculpted bases with coats of arms attributed to Estienne Guerrier, a hotelier since the 15th century. Some rooms even feature 15th-century murals, uncovered during archaeological excavations and carefully restored.
Inspired by the great Academies (French, Belles-Lettres, Fine Arts, Sciences), each floor develops a theme related to knowledge and scholarship, with numerous references to the great thinkers.
Please note: the nearby college also allows seminars and corporate events to be organized, offering an ideal solution for combining work and leisure in a unique historical setting.
An intimate and unique address to discover in the heart of Lyon.
In January 2026, L'Académie Hotel obtained Green Key certification for the second time. With over 100 criteria, this certification attests to the sincerity and effectiveness of its initiatives to reduce its impact on the planet: responsible consumption of water and energy, reduction of packaging, responsible purchasing, partnerships with local producers, CSR commitments, etc.
