Nestled along the banks of the Rhône in the heart of Lyon, Sofitel Lyon Bellecour offers a harmonious blend of French elegance and contemporary luxury. With its prime location near the iconic Place Bellecour, this five-star hotel places guests at the crossroads of Lyon’s cultural, gastronomic, and architectural wonders. From the moment one enters the lobby, bathed in warm light and adorned with refined decor, the atmosphere exudes sophistication and quiet opulence. The hotel boasts 164 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed to reflect Lyon's rich heritage. Guests can choose between serene contemporary interiors and classical French elegance, all featuring Sofitel’s signature MyBed, plush linens, high-end amenities, and in many cases, sweeping views of the Rhône River. The luxury here isn’t just in the décor, but in the details—intuitive service, soundproofed rooms, and personalized touches make every stay unforgettable.
Culinary excellence is another jewel in Sofitel Lyon Bellecour’s crown. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Les Trois Dômes, perched on the hotel’s top floor, offers panoramic views alongside inventive French cuisine that celebrates local flavors. For a more relaxed dining experience, the Silk Brasserie delivers refined brasserie dishes in a sleek, modern setting. The hotel’s two bars provide ideal settings for unwinding: Le Melhor, known for its moody red velvet décor and skyline views, serves expertly crafted cocktails, while the Light Bar offers a more casual lounge atmosphere perfect for an afternoon espresso or apéritif. The emphasis on taste, ambiance, and presentation across all dining spaces ensures guests are as visually pleased as they are gastronomically satisfied.
For those seeking serenity and rejuvenation, the hotel’s wellness facilities deliver in style. The So FIT fitness center is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and offers wellness coaching and yoga classes, while the So SPA provides a tranquil escape with indulgent treatments using premium Biologique Recherche products. Whether it's a deep-tissue massage, a restorative facial, or a customized wellness ritual, the experience is tailored to soothe both body and mind. Adding to its modern luxury ethos, Sofitel Lyon Bellecour is also committed to sustainable hospitality. As part of the Accor Group’s PLANET 21 program, the hotel has adopted eco-conscious practices including energy-saving systems, waste reduction strategies, and responsible water usage—all while maintaining the high standards of a luxury property.
Business travelers and event planners will also find exceptional value in the hotel’s 12 meeting rooms, many of which are bathed in natural light and equipped with cutting-edge technology. These flexible spaces can host everything from intimate board meetings to large-scale galas, all supported by attentive staff and gourmet catering.
