Radisson Collection debuts in France with the opening of Cour des Loges, a Renaissance icon in Lyon - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

This highly anticipated debut marks a significant step in Radisson Hotel Group’s expansion across Europe’s most culturally rich destinations.

A historic landmark reborn

With origins dating back to the 14th century, Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel has long been woven into the cultural and architectural heritage of the Vieux Lyon district. Once home to Italian merchants, a Jesuit college, and later a private residence, the property was transformed into a boutique hotel in 1987 and joined Radisson Hotel Group in 2022. Now reimagined under the Radisson Collection brand, the hotel reopens as a bridge between centuries. Set within a Renaissance ensemble of six interior courtyards, the hotel reflects the soul of Lyon itself: storied, elegant, and ever evolving.

Where timeless architecture meets luxury lifestyle

The comprehensive renovation, led by Cécile Rémond, Architecte du Patrimoine, a renowned heritage architecture firm celebrated for its expertise in preserving France’s historic landmark, has breathed new life into the property. This meticulous restoration celebrates the building’s legacy while elevating the guest experience. Noble materials, preserved structures, and rediscovered historical objects have been reintegrated with care, including the striking 17-meter-high glass roof that now crowns the central courtyard.

Tom Flanagan, Managing Director Northern & Western Europe at Radisson Hotel Group, says, “France has long been a strategic market for Radisson Hotel Group, and we are proud to introduce our Radisson Collection brand with such an extraordinary landmark. The opening of Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel, is a fitting debut — bringing the brand’s promise of exceptional, culturally rich hospitality to life. More than just a hotel, it is a destination where heritage, craftsmanship, and curated experiences come together to define the essence of luxury-lifestyle travel.”

An individually tailored stay

The hotel offers 61 individually designed rooms and suites, each capturing the spirit of the Renaissance while delivering contemporary comfort. Collection Superior Rooms are ideal for short stays, featuring warm textures and classical detailing that echo the elegance of Vieux-Lyon. For guests seeking more space, Collection Premium Rooms include characterful touches such as exposed wooden beams, fireplaces, and views over the historic courtyard. Junior Suites provide generous layouts with Renaissance-inspired décor, perfect for extended stays or romantic getaways. At the pinnacle of the offering, Collection Suites are each individually named and styled to reflect the rich history of the building, blending antique furnishings with refined modern comforts. Every room is designed as a one-of-a-kind retreat, staying true to the Radisson Collection promise of local authenticity and unique, curated stays.

A culinary destination rooted in Lyon’s gastronomic soul

Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel is home to Les Loges, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, led by acclaimed Chef Anthony Bonnet, who has helmed the kitchen for nearly 20 years. Inspired by his childhood in the Monts du Lyonnais, Bonnet crafts seasonal menus based on locally sourced ingredients, many from his own garden, and an unwavering respect for terroir. Set beneath a majestic glass canopy in the Renaissance courtyard, Les Loges offers an elegant, multi-sensory dining experience that reflects both Lyon’s culinary legacy and modern French gastronomy.

The hotel also features Le Comptoir, a contemporary bistro offering a modern twist on Lyonnais classics, ideal for relaxed dining on its charming terrace.
