Customer reviews —
Eight centuries of history, and yet nothing feels set in stone. The InterContinental has slipped into the Grand Hôtel-Dieu with an elegance that doesn’t impose itself: it simply reveals itself from the bar beneath the dome and the views over the Rhône to the rooms designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel. Here, Lyon takes on a whole new dimension, for those of you who appreciate the venue as much as the city itself.
