Villa Florentine, A Beauvallon Hotel & Spa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a five-star hotel with a spa a few minutes on foot from Lyon Cathedral and Fourvière, and the price is not the main concern. Skip it if you need to watch costs, because it was more than double the city median and our Best Value pick scores 8.8 for under half the price.

This is our Luxury pick in Lyon. It suits couples on a special trip and travellers who want a spa, a pool and a gym in the same building, plus a base right by the old town. The property also lists family rooms, so it can work for families who want a five-star stay.
It is not the right choice if you need to be next to Part-Dieu station for an early train, or if you simply want a clean, central room at a sensible price. Our Budget and Best Value picks cover those needs.
Location and getting around
The address is 25 Montée St Barthélémy, in the 5th arrondissement. The location score is 9.6, the highest of our three Lyon picks. Lyon Cathedral and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière are each about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is about 0.7 km, around 9 minutes.
These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Real walking times may be longer. Transport links and parking are not confirmed in our data; ask the hotel how best to arrive with luggage.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 776 reviews. That places it joint second of 17 eligible properties on review score, and it is the highest score among our three Lyon picks.
Our data does not include a summary of specific guest likes or dislikes for this hotel, so we cannot tell you which points come up most often. To fill that gap, read recent reviews on the booking site and look for comments on room size, noise, the spa and breakfast before you commit.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks

Our Best Value pick, Hotel De Verdun 1882, BW Signature Collection, was about €154.39 a night with an 8.8 score and 4 stars. Our Budget pick, Campanile PRIME Lyon Centre Gare Part-Dieu, was about €78.11 a night with an 8.6 score and 3 stars. Villa Florentine costs more than twice as much as De Verdun.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. With no guest summary in our data, reading recent reviews matters more than usual here. Confirm whether spa access is included in your rate, whether breakfast is included and when free cancellation ends. Pets are not listed in the tags, so ask before bringing one.
