LE SIMPLON More than a boutique hotel:
a family home in the heart of Lyon

SIMPLON_LOBBY-min

HOTEL IN THE CITY CENTRE, ON THE PRESQU'ÎLE The spirit of our hotel

Le Simplon is much more than a hotel, it’s a family home. Our establishment is designed to make every traveller feel “at home”. Inside, there’s nothing exuberant or flashy: the richness of the place lies in its authentic character. The Hôtel du Simplon is cosy and simple. Let yourself be surprised by an address with a very special harmony, a neighbourhood meeting place, a house with a family DNA where it’s good to live and share.

We could talk about a welcoming hostel in the heart of Lyon, a historic establishment or an inn with a friendly atmosphere… We could say a lot, but never enough to describe every aspect, every detail, every anecdote that makes it so special. In the end, Simplon is both a cosy nest and a hotbed of stories – ours and all yours. Welcome to us, welcome to you!

The Simplon doesn’t really see itself as a 3-star hotel in Perrache… What counts more are the stars in the eyes of its customers. Some even say that the Simplon is a boutique hotel: a place of character, family and warmth.
