The 3 best coworking spaces in Lyon
According to the Innkeepers…
In Lyon, we like to cowork… but not just anywhere.
Here, coffee is part of the decor, conviviality is sacred, and even an e-mail session can turn into a pleasant moment (especially with a good croissant on hand).
So, for all those looking for an urban refuge where they can work in peace and quiet without losing their zest for life, here is our selection of 3 inspiring places.
Le Comptoir Phénix: the modern refuge on the banks of the Saône
Located on the first floor of the Phénix Hôtel, right in the heart of Vieux-Lyon, the Comptoir Phénix is much more than a café and restaurant: it’s a place to live.
You can come here to work in the quiet of the morning, enjoy the breakfast buffet, lunch on the terrace or finish off a file with a homemade pastry.
What we like
A modern refuge atmosphere: light wood, natural light, mosaic floor tiles, large bay windows and skylights
An all-day offer: buffet breakfast, seasonal lunch (€21 E+P+D + coffee), gourmet snacks and hot drinks from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A true “innkeeper’s” welcome: we take care of you just like at home.
The spirit of the place
In a way, this is our coworking at heart: here, no badges or fixed rates, just smiles, wifi, plugs and plenty of food for your projects and your appetite.
A latte, a home-made pastry, and you’re all set for a productive morning.
– Open every day – 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
– No “coworking” formula: free consumption, card on site.
– 7 quai de Bondy, 69005 Lyon

Anticafé Lyon: the pioneer of café-coworking
L’Anticafé is the big brother of all creative cafés.
Here, you don’t pay for what you consume, but for the time you spend. In exchange: coffee, tea, cookies, wifi, plugs and a studious but cool atmosphere.
What we like
- Relaxed community spirit, perfect for freelancers and students.
- Drinks and snacks included
- Warm decor, halfway between neighborhood café and artist’s studio.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday: 8:30am – 8pm / Weekends: 10am – 6pm
Rates: approx. €6/hour, €25/day, or subscription ~€300/month.

Dojocrea Lyon, the Zen version of coworking
Nestled on the banks of the Rhône, Dojocrea is a discreet and soothing place, designed for working in calm and light.
Here, we talk more about creation than performance, and we come across architects as well as graphic designers and curious entrepreneurs.
What we like
- Refined, authentic setting with stone walls, large glass roofs, wooden furniture and green plants.
- A studious but friendly atmosphere, ideal for refocusing.
- Smaller community, conducive to in-depth exchanges rather than noisy open spaces.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday: 9am – 7pm
