Walking distance from the hotel guests can visit: Viaduc des Arts, Coulées Vertes, Bastille, Opera Bastille, Notre Dame. Due to its great location and connectivity, it’s only a few metro stops away from the Louvre, Palais Royale, Jardin des Tuileries and other famous Parisian sites.

Rooms:
Courtyard by Marriott Paris Gare de Lyon benefits from one of the most beautiful panoramas of Paris. From the most “standard” rooms to family rooms, each of them offers a different perspective.
The rooms on floors two to ten enjoy scenes of city life, including the kitchen staff fetching herbs from the vertical vegetable garden and the Seine flowing in the background. Those located higher up—the highest rooms in eastern Paris—have a 180° view of the city’s rooftops and close to 20 monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Coeur and Montparnasse Tower. Guests find themselves perched between earth and sky, enjoying the most beautiful postcard view of the capital.
The 249 rooms measuring no less than 20 m2 feature soft hues and exclusive furniture. Airplay TV, Daikin air-conditioning and digital features—all this technology blends effortlessly into the décor. The light wood bathrooms are both Zen and functional.
Restaurant:
Chef Melissa Ravel brings her personal touch to the 100% gourmet bistro cuisine. She has chosen to work with a small menu based on seasonal products to give pride of place to small producers and showcase the diversity of France’s terroirs.
The bar shakes things up, thanks to a team of passionate bartenders and an innovative menu. Gin makes the top of the list, including several varieties infused with herbs from the hotel garden. Long drinks and selected wines from independent winegrowers follow.
