VILLA MAÏA

Wonderful luxury hotel in a very central location in Lyon overlooking the city.Plus close to 2 key tourist destinations.Quality rooms with all the essentials.Very comfortable beds.Loved the daily breakfast in the courtyard.Very helpful front of house staff.

I have never enjoyed my stay at a hotel as much as I did at Villa Maia. The concierge team greeted me with a smile and they knew my name the moment I walked in. They suggested restaurant recommendations and were able to get me into a highly coveted restaurant a few hours later on the same day. Because I booked through amex FHR collection, they gave me $100 USD dining credit which I used for two amazing meals at the bar. They upgraded me to a city view room overlooking the beautiful Vieux Lyon and allowed me to check in early and check out late. The spa facilities were also an excellent way to relax after a long day out. It's located just a short 10-15min uphill walk from the Vieux Lyon; centrally located yet away from the bustle. I loved how quiet and peaceful the hotel is and how attentive yet unobtrusive the hotel staff are. Highly recommend for everyone visiting Lyon!

A really fabulous hotel. Great rooms, beautiful outlook, fantastic service - friendly, efficient and welcoming. One of the best hotels we have stayed in - definitely one to return to. Highly recommended if you are visiting Lyon

This is such a wonderful gem of a hotel, it makes Lyon feel like a holiday home almost immediately. The front desk staff was only too happy to open the door to greet you, they are located in their own cozy corner on the ground floor, rather spartan because everything else - bar, breakfast spot, cocktail lounge - is up the stairs. The hotel may look deceptively quiet but we have stayed in such places where you feel like you have the whole place to yourself, when actually, it does have other hotel guests. Perched on the ancient Fourviere hills and two minutes down the slope from the Roman amphitheatre, the location is within walking distance to the Notre Dame as well as the funicular down to Vieux Lyon. The pool is really relaxing after a whole day of exploring the walking city, and has a fabulous spa of steam and sauna and massage services (book ahead). We checked in slightly earlier and were redirected to the cafe with a wide view of the city and rivers. Food was excellent. The concierge team is very friendly - Francois, Julien and Alvaro can quickly suggest and advise and research for you. Francois sorted out a dinner reservation for me where I had booked the wrong date and purchased extra meal vouchers. A really lovely time, we are telling everyone to go to Lyon now.

if you ever go to Lyon....do not doubt, this is the hotel you need. The staff is helpful and very professional. The accommodation is very clean and the rooms are large as is the bathroom. Last but not least: at breakfast they serve delicious coffee!

Most beautiful and charming hotel in Lyon ! The staff is extremely kind and very welcoming. The bedroom was huge, the view amazing, the food delicious at Tetedois restaurant. The spa & the massages were great. Well, everything was perfect :-) Thanks a lot!
