Villa Maïa

Nestled in Lyon's historic heart, Villa Maia sits atop the remains of a Roman villa, just steps from the ancient Lugdunum theatres. This unique location offers breathtaking city views and a tranquil atmosphere. Within easy reach of Lyon's main attractions, the Basilica, Old Town, and Cathedral are a short 10-minute walk away, while the central shopping district is a quick taxi ride. Perched on Fourvière Hill, the hotel boasts panoramic views of Lyon's distinctive architecture, extending to Mont Blanc and the Saône and Rhône rivers. Each room and suite features a private terrace with these stunning vistas. Designed by a trio of elite talents—interior decorator Jacques Grange, architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and landscape artist Louis Benech—Villa Maia showcases bespoke furnishings and contemporary décor with art deco accents. Rooms are bathed in soothing neutral tones, accented by vibrant accessories and whimsical circular photographs by Charles Maze. Luxurious bathrooms, featuring Carrara marble, heated floors, embedded televisions, and Japanese toilets, open onto the rooms through glass partitions. The hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, helmed by acclaimed chef Christian Tétédoie, offers an exceptional culinary experience. Additionally, the serene spa, inspired by Roman baths, features a 20-meter indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room, as well as a fitness center with personal trainers and massage services available upon request.
