Fodor's Review:

Philippe Chavent's silk-swathed Vieux Lyon hotel occupies a Renaissance-period convent set around a gorgeous Florentine-style courtyard under a rose-washed tower. The glass-roof restaurant occupies a former chapel and offers views of the hanging garden overhead. Each guest room is named for a famous silk-weaving concern and decorated in its goods; taffetas, plissés, and velvets cover walls, windows, and beds in daring, even startling styles. The signature specials here -- smoked-duck soup, skate in oyster coulis, hibiscus sorbet -- are well worth all the extra louis d'or. Six apartments with kitchenettes in an adjacent annex provide excellent value for longer stays.
