Villa Maia  

Perched on Fourvière Hill in Lyon's historic heart, Villa Maia is a 5-star luxury hotel steps from the Roman theatres, the Basilica and Vieux Lyon. Walk to St‑Jean Cathedral, enjoy panoramic city views that sweep to the Saône and Rhône, and reach Bellecour or Tête d'Or Park within a short drive. Pet-friendly and quietly secluded, it’s a boutique base for exploring Lyon’s culinary and cultural sights.

Designed by Jean‑Michel Wilmotte with interiors by Jacques Grange and gardens by Louis Benech, Villa Maia mixes Japanese and retro‑futuristic influences with art‑deco touches. The hotel has 37 accommodations (rooms, suites and an apartment), each with a private terrace or balcony, free minibar items and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms feature Carrara marble, heated floors, deep soaking tubs, rainfall showerheads and some with glass partitions and Japanese toilets.

Relax in a spa inspired by Roman baths with a 20‑metre heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, then hit the fitness center with trainers and massage services on request. Onsite comforts include a library, private garage and valet parking, 24‑hour front desk, concierge, laundry/dry cleaning and babysitting (surcharge). Wake up to sweeping hilltop city views and easy access to nearby attractions.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. A meeting room for up to 15 people, 24‑hour room service and luggage storage make it easy to mix work and leisure.

The Michelin‑starred Restaurant Christian Têtedoie sits in front of the hotel, serving refined dishes rooted in Lyonnaise and regional French cuisine. There’s also a bar/lounge for cocktails and a buffet breakfast service, with 24‑hour room service available.
