This was our third stay at Emmanuel's Quai de Saone and as we say each time, great location and much better than one of the top hotels in Lyon. You really can experience Lyon like a local. The view is spectacular! You are walking distance to everything. The daily market is only a few minutes away and you can be in the Old City withing 10 minutes. Our tip this year is our strong recommendation to go to the restaurant La Bijouterie. It is two great restaurants in one, at lunch time you can enjoy a french/asian fusion with 3 small tasting plates/person, at night you can sample the 8-course tasting menu, a real dining experience to say the least.
We strongly recommend Emmanuel's place and think you will enjoy it.
