Perched on Fourvière Hill, the hotel boasts panoramic views of Lyon's distinctive architecture, extending to Mont Blanc and the Saône and Rhône rivers.

Designed by a trio of elite talents—interior decorator Jacques Grange, architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and landscape artist Louis Benech—Villa Maia showcases bespoke furnishings and contemporary décor with art deco accents. Rooms are bathed in soothing neutral tones, accented by vibrant accessories and whimsical circular photographs by Charles Maze. Luxurious bathrooms, featuring Carrara marble, heated floors, embedded televisions, and Japanese toilets, open onto the rooms through glass partitions. The hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, helmed by acclaimed chef Christian Tétédoie, offers an exceptional culinary experience.
