Building a hotel brand emblematic of the Lyon scene
Once upon a time, in the heart of Lyon, there was a place like no other. The story of Le Globe et Cecil began in 1866, but it was not until much later that the Aubergistes Lyonnais brand was truly born.
Les Aubergistes Lyonnais is
At Les Aubergistes Lyonnais, we prefer to talk about a collection of unique hotels rather than a classic hotel group. Yes, we are a hotel brand that embodies the spirit of an independent French hotel group, but we are far removed from the standards of traditional hotel chains. Each establishment embodies, in its own way, our hotel brand, rich in history and charm. Each stands out for its character, originality and ability to offer a tailor-made experience.
We’re a hotel group in France, based in Lyon, but what makes us truly unique is our family approach, where each location is a reflection of our history and our passion for authenticity and innovation. Our Lyon-based hotel group is an invitation to discover charming spaces, far from uniformity, where hospitality and creativity take on their full meaning.
Key dates
– In 2012, Loïc Renart acquired the Hôtel Globe et Cecil, taking up the torch of 2 generations and a hotel history dating back to 1866.
– In 2017, he acquired the Hôtel du Simplon: a second address in the heart of the peninsula.
– In 2018, the Globe et Cecil hotel unveils a new face and welcomes its gastronomic alter ego: the Comptoir Cecil restaurant.
– In 2020, the Hôtel du Phénix joins this symphony of unique addresses. With it, a new restaurant, Comptoir Phénix, is born, and our ambitions as an independent hotel group take flight.
– And so, in 2021 , the Les Aubergistes Lyonnais brand is born, a collection of boutique hotels, restaurants and event spaces, where every detail tells a story. Our collection thus joins the closed clan of independent French hotel groups, while retaining its family character, a far cry from chain hotels.
– In 2022, Le Phénix is completely renovated to follow an ambitious and well-trodden path.
– These efforts put together enable Le Phénix and Le Simplon to respectively obtain an additional star in 2022.
Each of the establishments in our collection is atypical, original and unique:
Local living spaces with an assertive identity
Today, we give priority to places with strong, assertive personalities, whose assets are authenticity, charm and hospitality. Coming to us means first and foremost choosing a dream location in the heart of Lyon’s liveliest districts, rich in heritage and history. But it also means knowing how to appreciate encounters and a warm, human welcome…
We manage and animate living spaces to embody the experience of sharing. An experience that creates links between people, but also between a place and its environment. An experience with a strong symbolic identity, unique and of the highest quality.
