About this place Hôtel des Artistes

Hôtel des Artistes is a small mainstream hotel on Rue Gaspard André, on Place des Célestins in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement. It's listed as gay-friendly but isn't a gay hotel. It sits right beside the Théâtre des Célestins, and it averages 4.6 on Google from about 900 reviews. Place Bellecour is a few minutes' walk away, and Vieux Lyon is just across the Saône footbridges. Lyon's gay bars are mostly on the Presqu'île and in the 1st arrondissement, within walking distance. Rooms in buildings of this age tend to be compact. There's an underground car park beneath Place des Célestins if you're driving.

Excellent location for visiting Lyon. Second visit and there has been modernisation of the rooms with a great bathroom. The aircon was efficient and kept us cool in the heatwave. Breakfast had tasty fresh food. The staff are wonderful!

The hotel is very well located. The staff is very attentive. The room, although not very large, is functional and the bedding is good. A minor drawback is the breakfast; it's good, but I find the price a bit high for what you get.

A wonderful experience at the Hôtel des Artistes. A warm welcome, a beautiful, well-soundproofed, and very clean room. High-quality bedding. Conveniently located for exploring Old Lyon on foot. The Célestins parking garage is right next door. I highly recommend this hotel.
