InterContinental® Lyon – Hotel Dieu

More than 800 years of History … before becoming one of the most beautiful 5-star hotels in Lyon! This emblematic place of Lyon’s architectural heritage and full of history secrets was nothing else but an essential transit point of the city: its Grand Hôtel-Dieu.

Hospitality is the oldest tradition of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon, which welcomed international visitors from the Middle Ages during their stage to cross the Rhône bridge (today Pont de la Guillotière). Its facade and large dome, designed in the 18th century by Jacques-Germain Soufflot, are emblematic in Lyon, capital city in the history of France.

• An Environment, Social & Corporate Governance team is committed to training staff in eco-gestures at the hotel but also at home.
• A colleague is assigned to analyse our water consumption as we undertake a monthly reading of it. Our recent and standard sanitary water use system also reduces our consumption.
• To fight energy waste, our hotel is partially equipped with LED lamps with motion detectors and we closely monitor lighting and temperatures within the building.
• To minimize food waste, chef Mathieu Charrois and his brigade recycle food peelings, buy calibrated vegetables to limit the loss of processed products or even create syrups from champagnes that no longer sparkle.
• We choose local and/or committed suppliers for all of our raw materials and are transparent about their origin.
• With Les Alchimistes, we have created a system for sorting organic waste in order to make compost for local soils.
