Mercure Royal Lyon Hotel is located on Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe, planted with chestnut trees and covered in an ochre-coloured clay, directly in the heart of the Lyonnaise peninsula. Whether you wish to browse in the many high-end boutiques in the center of town, go about your business activities, improve your cultural knowledge by visits to museums, theatres, cinemas, etc. Or simply explore the outstanding Renaissance architecture of Old Lyon, you will find that the hotel makes an ideal starting point. On June 22, 1965, John Lennon and the Beatles set up residence in the Royal Hotel. Since that time a single word Imagine has come to encapsulate an entirely original hotel concept. This "imagination" is expressed in an atmosphere composed in equal measure by diversity and refinement: mahogany and brass (the Clipper Room), "water jets and waves" (Balneo Room), curtains and canopies (Rotonde Room).In the best traditions of the Lyonnais silk workers, the Royal follows the example of the fabled magnaneries or silk- worm farms in ensuring that its guests are wrapped in a cocoon of contentment. The owners of the establishment have left nothing to chance in their quest to create a decoration and environment characterised by brilliance, softness and elegance. * Hotel Le Royal Lyon - MGallery Collection features a bar or lounge, a business center, and wireless Internet access. * Amenities include newspapers in the lobby. * This Lyon property also offers multilingual staff and business services. * The property has a 24-hour front desk. * Hotel Le Royal Lyon - MGallery Collection offers 76 guestrooms in a 5-story property.
