GOLF HOLIDAYS LYON & BEAUJOLAIS
The best hotels for Rhone-Alpes golfbreaks.

Le Gouverneur****

Le Gouverneur resort

In the midst of a vast bird sanctuary and handily placed close to the ancient Roman town of Lyon, the old country house of the Château de Breuil has now become the Gouverneur golf resort.  Most of the hotels bedrooms overlook the courses in a new wing alongside the pool. Stays at “Le Gouverneur” include free golf every day on its 36 challenging holes, plus the option of playing at its sister club of La Bresse, only 20 mins. to the North. Heading West across the Saône all the wonderful wines of Beaujolais are waiting to be sampled in situ.

Carlton Hotel**** - Lyon

Carlton Hotel - Lyon
Carlton Hotel Lyon - reception

The Carlton sits squarely in the very centre of Lyon: equidistant form the Rhone and the Saone - no better place to be, close to all the sights, cafés, bars, restaurants and the traditional Lyonnais 'Bouchons' (cosy brasseries).

Carlton Hotel Lyon - bedroom

The Carlton Hotel has a variety of room sizes, ranging from 'Cocoon' to Suites.  We think that the 'Cosy' bedrooms are just about large enough for couples but a little small for Twin rooms.  Needless to say, being an 'MGallery' hotel they are all fitted-out to a very high standard.

Carlton Hotel Lyon - bathroom

The Carlton does not have a restaurant (hardly a problem in the gastronomic capital of France!) but it does offera  good breakfast buffet every morning.  When the evening rolls around, there is a small bar beside Reception - an ideal spot to gather before heading out on the town.

Carlton Hotel Lyon - breakfast room

Traffic in Lyon is not too bad, so driving out to the golf courses each day is quite straightforward.  Conveniently, there is a secure underground car park just 50 metres form the hotel, so no problem parking at all.
