On June 22, 1965 John Lennon and the Beattles set up residence in the Hotel Royal. Since that time a single word - Imagine - has come to encapsulate an entirely original concept. This "imagination" is expressed on an atmosphere composed in equal measure by diversity and refinement : mahogany and brass (the Clipper Room) "water jets and waves" (Balneo Room), curtains and four posters beds (Rotonde Room).
In the best traditions of the Lyonnais silk workers, the Hotel Royal follows the example of the fabled magnaneries or silk-worms farms in ensuring that its guests are wrapped in a cocoon of contentment. The owners of the establishment have left nothing to chance in their quest to create a decoration and environment characterised by brilliance, softness and elegance. The Hotel Royal was host to the British delegation at the G7 summit in June 1996. The Hotel is proud to say that the prestigious guests were impressed by the high standard of comfort, intimacy and discretion that they were provided with.
