It is a unique place with a soul that takes its guests on a journey through the ages. It cultivates a quirky elegance that blends chic, humour and a relaxed atmosphere, creating a special ambience where you feel truly welcome. This boutique hotel, reimagined as a place for living and socialising, offers 30 rooms, each with its own distinct character.
When you check in at this hotel, situated in the centre of Lyon, you step into a world that invites you to breathe and find inspiration, brought to life by a collection of furniture, paintings, books and photographs gathered from all over the world over the years.
The large library lounge, with its armchairs and sofas, sets the tone: elegant, cheerful, warm and party-ready! Here, luxury is defined by thoughtfulness, helpfulness and little touches throughout your stay.
The rooms, arranged around a beautiful stone staircase, have been restored to their original character with their high ceilings, mouldings and fireplaces. The distinctive vintage furniture adds a touch of chic and elegance. Soft, delicate fabrics are paired with warm, soothing colours. Books from Gallimard’s ‘Blanche’ collection are nestled on the shelves, whilst the walls are adorned with photos and posters from the owners’ personal collection.
The hotel has also been designed to meet the Green Key standard, which promotes sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible tourism. The team provides a jug of filtered water in every room to reduce plastic use, and the bed and bathroom linen is made from eco-friendly cotton that is wonderfully soft to the touch. The organic toiletries, with their Mediterranean scents (Italian lemon and basil, and Italian lemon and rosemary), are sourced from a local soap factory.
The Hôtel de Verdun 1882 holds the Clef Verte certification.
