LYON

11 - 13 June 2019
Extended Main Conference Lyon, France

Lyon is a two-thousand-year-old city, situated at the junction of the Rhône and Saône rivers, resting below the impressive Fourvière and Croix Rousse hills.

From Montreux we head to Lake Annecy whose town is listed by Conde Naste as one of the 10 Most Beautiful Small Towns in France. This lakeside Alpine town is treasured for its sloping hillsides and the small canals that wend their way through the streets. The small stone bridges over the canals make for perfect photo opportunities”. There is time to explore the town before proceeding to Lyon.

Commanding a strategic spot at the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône Rivers, Lyon has been luring people ever since the Romans named it Lugdunum in 43 BC.

Commercial, industrial and banking powerhouse for the past 500 years, Lyon is France's third-largest city, and offers today's urban explorers a wealth of enticing experiences.

Outstanding museums, a dynamic cultural life, busy clubbing and drinking scenes, a thriving university and fantastic shopping lend the city a distinctly sophisticated air, while adventurous gourmets can indulge in their wildest gastronomic fantasies. Don't leave the city without sampling some Lyonnais specialities in a bouchon – the quintessential Lyon experience.

Lyon is also known as the gastronomic capital of France and to celebrate, our gala dinner will be staged at L’Abbaye de Collonges, a former monastery that is owned and operated by the legendary Bocuse family.

Accommodation

Due to the small size of hotels in Lyon, the group will be accommodated in three different hotels.  The main room block is in the new InterContinental Lyon Hotel-Dieu which is only due to open in early 2019.  This is also where the conference sessions will be held.  The two additional hotels are both MGallery  hotels, part of the Sofitel collection, which are unique hotels inspired by the cities in which they inhabit.  Both hotels are a short walking distance from the InterContinental Hotel.

InterContinental Lyon Hotel-Dieu

This deluxe hotel will open in early 2019 and will be situated in a landmark redevelopment of the former Hotel-Dieu, one of the oldest hospital buildings in France dating from the 12th century. The building is a classified historic landmark on the peninsula between the rivers and will become the most prestigious hotel in Lyon when opened.  All standard rooms are now sold out, but we still have Deluxe Rooms available at a supplement of $200 per room for 2 nights.

Hotel Carlton Lyon

Located in the heart of Lyon's Presqu'île, the Carlton Lyon hotel effortlessly blends contemporary comfort and sophistication while preserving its authenticity and charm. Enjoy a moment of relaxation in one of the 80 tastefully decorated rooms or in the intimate setting of  the bar. Just a 5 minute walk from the Bellecour metro stop (and 3-4 minute walk to the InterContinental), the hotel is the ideal base for exploring Lyon. You will receive a $150 reduction per person from the package price if you select this hotel. 

Le Royal Hotel Lyon

A unique 5-star hotel located in Place Bellecour, this charming boutique hotel offers 72 rooms that blend tradition and modernity. It is very centrally located at Place Bellecour, a stone's throw from the Saône, the Rhône and the cobbled streets of Old Lyon.  The Institute Paul Bocuse is located at the Le Royal Hotel, where the cooking classes are held.  The hotel is a 6 minute walk to the InterContinental Hotel.  You will receive a $105 reduction per person from the package price if you select this hotel.
