A New Breed of Hotel.
Paris is a city designed for the world traveller. Even just a quick stop off in fashion’s capital promises a whirlwind of creativity, bespoke architecture and uncompromising French flair. The city’s aura is an unwavering je ne sais quoi, from the effortlessly dressed, stylish Parisians to the Michelin star-winning restaurants.
While the city is well connected through transportation, it’s surprisingly walkable given its robust size. Nestled into the cobbled streets, and sitting right along the river Seine, is citizenM Gare du Lyon. Truly a representation of the city as a whole, the hotel stands for flexibility, luxury, and creating a one-of-a-kind experience.

At citizenM, everything a traveller needs is truly just a phone call or walk away. A quick one-floor elevator trip takes you into the hotel’s main hub. Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog and other recognizable pieces of pop art history adorn the walls and shelves. After a quick self-check-in, guests need to make a crucial decision: go upstairs to one of the hotel’s cleverly designed rooms, or take a sharp left and enter the lobby’s main amenities.
For those who prefer to drop their bags and unwind, they’ll be met with an XL king-sized bed, jungle-inspired shower and Chromecast readied for launch. Every room at Gare du Lyon is built to look the same, including their mood lighting system, blackout blinds and soundproof windows.
After unpacking, guests have the option of heading back down to the lobby to enjoy 24/7 bistro food at the canteenM bar. The vegan nachos and citizenM Old Fashioned are highlights in the open concept space, where visitors can retire to a selection of U-shaped couches or chat away at the bar. This transformational space turns into the breakfast area in the morning, serving Parisian pastries and more from 6-11 am.
While the most stressful part of travelling is planning where to stay, citizenM actively alleviates the pain. Confidence is the word to describe any guest’s stay at the hotel. With friendly staff, delicious food, and an over-the-top room design for the price, guests can confidently book their stay at citizenM Gare de Lyon without fear.

“Travelling to Paris, and specifically during fashion week, is a hassle that I look forward to. After days upon days of running through the streets, it felt terrific to plop down onto my king-size bed after ordering food at the bar. Truly a comforting experience that has little to no competition.” – Marcus Mitropoulos (Assistant News Editor of PAUSE Magazine)
