Does anyone know of hotels in Lyon that have fireplaces in their rooms? We will be there at the end of December and I think this would be a nice feature. But, I'm having a hard time finding that sort of information online.

Many thanks!

No idea - but topping for you

I stayed at Hotel la Résidence on Rue Victor-Hugo, a busy pedestrian street between Perrache train station and Cour Bellecour square. My room had a fire place which was NOT in use.

According to its website, La Cour des Loges has fireplaces in some rooms (www.courdesloges.com). However, it is one of Lyon's poshest hotels so the rooms do not come cheap!

Thanks for the responses. Kappa, does "not in use" mean it was too hot to use the fireplace, or it just wasn't working? I've heard good things about that hotel in general.

Both : The time when I satyed there was too warm for heater but also (I must say my memory is not that clear but) in any case, I think it was not connected to the chimney anymore. Sort of just a nice decoration but you are not allowed to make fire.

Take a look at the following. Click on panorama view camera "une troisième chambre". There you can see a mantlepiece/fireplace behind a table and 3 chairs, and a big morror on top of it. That kind of fireplace was in my room but honestly my room (for one person use)was much smaller and plainer than, nothing fancy and just served my purpose.

If you are looking for a fireplace that actually works, forget this hotel.
