A strategic location in Croix-Rousse
Located in the Croix-Rousse district, a notable area of Lyon, the new property offers around 100 dormitory beds and 30 private rooms. The establishment is housed in a former school building and provides guests with views of the Basilica of Fourvière. In addition to its accommodations, the property features a bar-restaurant focused on local produce, a co-working space, and facilities for events, making it a popular spot for both locals and travelers.
The People’s hybrid concept, which combines hotel comfort with lively communal spaces, is set to cater to both business and leisure travelers. The venue will offer a range of activities, from stays and brunches to events such as bingo and afterwork sessions, starting in September 2025.
