17, Rue Professeur Weill, 69006 Lyon
From the very first moments spent in the hotel, a sense of calm settles in. The urban hustle and bustle suddenly feels distant, as if the walls were designed to suspend time. At the crossroads of the 3rd and 6th arrondissements, just steps from Brotteaux and around a ten-minute walk from the Part-Dieu train station, you’ll discover an establishment that combines understated elegance, thoughtful comfort, and a unique atmosphere.
The building, discreetly nestled in a quiet street, opens onto an intimate lobby, where warm materials and carefully chosen objects evoke a certain taste for Belle Époque ambiances, subtly reinterpreted. Here, charm doesn’t shout. It whispers through the details: a vintage lamp, a velvet armchair, or a wall section that seems to tell a story.
Hotel Edmond W takes its name from a Lyonnais doctor of the early 20th century, Edmond Weill, whose humanist commitment continues to inspire the spirit of the place. A discreet yet meaningful homage that gives this 32-room accommodation a special soul. You don’t just feel welcomed here; it almost feels as though you were expected.
The rooms, spread across six floors, offer a comforting retreat for all types of travelers. Soundproofed, air-conditioned, designed for rest and focus, they are as bright as they are functional. Some feature a desk area, others offer views of the rooftops, but all share the same promise: a peaceful stay, blending contemporary comfort with the charm of a guesthouse.
Each room includes a Nespresso machine, a 40-inch TV, a private bathroom with sleek lines featuring a walk-in shower, plush linens, and invigorating Rituals products. The small courtesy tray and complimentary bottle of water are those simple touches that make all the difference. Wi-Fi is, of course, accessible at no extra charge.
In the morning, a buffet breakfast is served in a bright room. Sweet, savory, and generous, it delights both those who take their time and those with early appointments. The hotel has even thought of those who prefer to extend the calm of their room a little longer: a takeaway selection is available.
On the ground floor, you can take a break at any time thanks to the snack area. The D-Vine concept, installed in the lobby, allows you to enjoy a glass of wine at the perfect temperature, as an invitation to unwind at any time of the day. The outdoor terrace, open until the evening, offers a tranquil corner amidst the urban landscape.
The reception is accessible 24/7. A discreet yet always available team ensures a reassuring continuity of service. If you are traveling with your pet, know that they will also be welcomed. The hotel does not have rooms adapted for people with reduced mobility but makes every effort to simplify everyone’s stay.
Reflecting its neighborhood, the establishment cultivates a certain Lyonnais art of living. You can step out to discover the many nearby gourmet spots or venture on foot to the Parc de la Tête d’Or, a vast green oasis perfect for morning strolls or impromptu breaks by a pond.
Thanks to the immediate proximity of public transport (metro lines A and B), the city’s iconic sites are easily accessible. In just a few minutes, you can reach the Opera, the Rhône riverbanks, or the narrow streets of the Presqu’île. Once back, you’ll rediscover the tranquility of your room as one returns to a refuge.
Business travelers will appreciate the proximity to the offices in Part-Dieu and Espace Tête d’Or. Families, meanwhile, will enjoy exploring the museums, quays, or the Confluence district without worrying about distance. At any time, you can leave your luggage in storage to wander more freely before departure.
The establishment is also mindful of its environmental impact: towels changed upon request, thoughtful management of air conditioning and water usage, and paper recycling. Concrete actions, integrated into daily operations, reflect a focus on essentials without overbearing messaging.
In Lyon, there are countless opportunities for discovery. From the hotel, head to the Parc de la Tête d’Or, with its botanical garden, tropical greenhouses, and free zoo. If you’re an architecture enthusiast, the Cité Internationale, designed by Renzo Piano, is worth a stop, as are the colorful facades of the Croix-Rousse district.
For foodies, the Halles de la Martinière is an ideal lunch spot. Later, you might savor revisited local cuisine at Substrat or Maison Marie, or opt for a more contemporary table like the Michelin-starred Le Passe-Temps, just a few metro stops away. The Lyonnais bouchons, on the other hand, can be discovered at any time in the traboules of Vieux Lyon.
Art lovers can visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Place des Terreaux or wander through temporary exhibitions at La Sucrière. In the evening, a concert at the Auditorium or a play at the Théâtre des Célestins provides a delightful counterpoint to the day’s excitement.
And if you’re visiting during the Festival of Lights in December, be sure to book early. Hotel Edmond W then becomes an ideal starting point to explore the illuminated city, while never losing the sense of calm you’ll feel each evening upon returning.
