Le Pavillon
Art Deco grandeur softened by parkland setting — quiet, grown-up, and genuinely elegant without being stiff. The casino next door adds an unexpected and very French leisure dimension.

Why It Matters
One of the few true five-star stays within reach of Lyon, anchored by a 900m² Sothys spa, a 1 Michelin-star restaurant (La Rotonde, in the adjacent casino building), and rooms that run 55–75m². The estate's proximity to the Parc de Lacroix-Laval makes it feel far more remote than it actually is.
Lyonnais have been making the short trip to Charbonnières-les-Bains for generations — ever since the town's priest discovered its iron-rich mineral springs in the late 18th century. The old thermal baths are long gone, but Le Pavillon still delivers on the original promise: a big multi-hectare estate, century-old trees, a serious spa, and genuine peace and quiet just 15 minutes west of Lyon. Set on a wooded estate beside the Domaine de Lacroix-Laval and its 16th-century château, this five-star property belongs to the Partouche Group and sits at the center of a full leisure complex that includes a casino and a Michelin-starred restaurant next door. Rooms are dressed in ivory and slate gray with pops of turquoise and scarlet — the Art Deco bones of the 1930s building showing through in all the right places.
