Our hotel in Lyon
Nestled in the heart of the Croix Rousse hills, The People Lyon is THE place for travellers and bon vivants to meet. Ready for your Lyon adventure?
Like a smell
of praline
Welcome to The People Lyon. A former secondary school transformed into a vibrant spot in the heart of the city. Cosy rooms, breathtaking views of Fourvière Basilica, and a unique terrace in the former playground. Here, people come to experience Lyon differently, to relax, enjoy and share.
WE’RE
NOT
TIRED
At The People Lyon, we don’t just sleep and eat well – we chill, laugh, dance and sing (sometimes a little off-key). There’s always something to do that will put you in a good mood for the rest of your day or evening!
IN

RELAXED
ATMOSPHERE
On the sunny terrace or indoors in a stylish setting, you can savour Lyon’s specialities, treat yourself to a gourmet break or sip on one of the city’s best cocktails.

GOOD
NIGHT’S
SLEEP
Whether you prefer a large room with XXL industrial-style windows or a dormitory with a capsule bed, The People Lyon offers maximum comfort with maximum style. Here, you sleep well, and above all, you sleep at a reasonable price.
TO GET YOUR GROOVE ON
Here, the schedule is busier than the quays of the Saône on a Friday night—Think stand-up comedy, music quizzes, electrifying DJ sets, no-holds-barred karaoke. For the creative people, there are even designer markets, exhibitions and workshops to ignite your artistic spirit.
VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE
Looking for a big event? Birthday, bachelorette party, or just want to get together with your friends or family? You can book our mezzanine, restaurant, or even our terrace on sunny days for you and your crew to enjoy an offer designed just for you!
KIDS FRIENDLY
At The People, kids (or “gones” as we call them here) are always welcome! We’ve put together a special “KOOL KID” menu for them, and on top of that, the venue is safe and super pleasant for parents and children to play, chill out, and enjoy themselves together.
CORKS ARE POPPING
Our restaurant offers delicious street food dishes, made with local ingredients. Double smash cheeseburgers, salads and plates to share (or not)… you’ll love our menu!
COFFEE TIME
Whether you crave strong espresso or a comforting latte, here we take the time to savour coffee made with love, in collaboration with local artisans.
A DRINK ON THE SLOPES
Here, drinks are served as people are welcomed: warmly, without fuss, but always with taste. Perched on the slopes in a lively neighbourhood, our cocktail bar is a favourite spot for chatterboxes, revellers, locals, neighbours and visitors alike. So, what team are you on?

Lyon is the perfect place to stroll. Between colourful facades and period secrets, you’ll be surprised around every corner by the smell of delicious angel wing doughnuts… Take a walk on the wild side of the Rhône!
MORE BEAUTIFUL FROM ABOVE
Behind its picture-postcard appearance, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière offers a breathtaking view (literally, if you’ve taken the stairs) of the magnificent Old Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. Around the basilica, the ancient stones of the Roman theatre tell us that the city is not new…
SLOPES & VIBES
The slopes of Croix Rousse are a maze of vintage boutiques, cosy cafés and streets where street art meets historic frescoes. So we take to the “traboules”, those typical secret passageways, and set off to discover the city. It’s relaxed, it’s arty, and it’s more about aperitifs than talking about the weather.
HIGH GASTRONOMY, LOW SPEED
At Les Halles Paul Bocuse, each stall is like a theatre stage: cheese makers talk about ageing, fishmongers handle scallops, and butchers cut their cured sausages with passion. In short, we’re serious eaters.
