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.

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?

BED IN MIXED OR GIRLS-ONLY DORMITORY

GEMS

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.
