Rooms with School Theme

Collège Hotel features 40 rooms, each with white floors and linens, a bright-red Eames Daw chair, and a flat-screen television embedded in a blackboard. Each of the seven floors includes a 1960s fridge filled with complimentary soft drinks. Room amenities include ironing facilities, heating, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms have a balcony with views of the old town, while others include a private terrace. All rooms provide free toiletries, an electric kettle, an AM/FM alarm clock, and parquet floors. The private bathrooms include either a bathtub or a walk-in shower.

Dining: Cantine and Bar

A buffet breakfast is served in the Cantine, featuring fresh bread, croissants, fruit, cheese, charcuterie, and eggs. The dining room includes original classroom-style furniture. A vintage vaulting horse from 1914, recovered from a school gymnasium near Paris, is part of the decor. The products served for breakfast are bought in bulk to cut down on packaging. Just next door, Baràgones, a South American-inspired bar, serves cocktails and snacks such as charcuterie, cheese, nachos, and beef or vegetable-filled empanadas.

Leisure and Amenities

The hotel has a library with leather Chesterfield sofas and an expansive roof terrace with deck chairs and lime-green Fermob chairs. A gym area is also available on the roof terrace, which offers a panorama of Vieux Lyon. There is a drinking water fountain provided on the ground floor.

Location and Points of Interest

Located in the 5th arrondissement, Collège Hotel is near the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière and the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Hotel de Ville - Louis Pradel is only 0.5 km away. Nearby landmarks include Musee d'Histoire de Lyon (0.3 km), Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere (1 km), Place Bellecour (1.5 km), Place des Jacobins (1 km), Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon (0.5 km), Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste (0.5 km), and Fontaine Bartholdi (0.5 km).

Services and Features

The Collège Hotel is designed for meetings, seminars, and events, with meeting rooms decorated with vintage furniture. Meeting rooms provide access to a garden terrace. The hotel's distinctive 1930s Art Deco façade features a chair installation by French-Argentinean artist Pablo Reinoso, which is lit at night. The facade includes 130 windows that light up as part of a light show. The hotel offers a traditional school-theme decoration and is located only 0.5 km from Hotel de Ville - Louis Pradel.

“I find the schoolhouse theme and vintage decor create a whimsical atmosphere. Its location in Vieux Lyon puts guests at the heart of the action, and the rooftop terrace certainly sweetens the deal. While some past guests have noted issues with older infrastructure, the overall charm and distinctive touches make it an interesting choice.”
