The Lyon idyll continues for Spark by Hilton, which is keeping the flame alive with a new opening. On 16 February, the Spark by Hilton Lyon Eurexpo hotel, formerly the ParKest hotel, became the third representative of this still recent brand, positioned at the top end of the budget segment. It could quickly become a reference address for MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Convention, Events) thanks to its proximity to the Convention Centre, among other Lyon attractions. The MICE positioning of the new Spark by Hilton Lyon Eurexpo will also be reflected in its meeting facilities: three modular meeting rooms with natural light, totalling 169 m².
The brand's third address - after the Spark by Hilton Lyon Park Saone and Spark by Hilton Lyon Ouest - has 106 rooms. The restaurant offer is based on "Terminal 50", a restaurant with a terrace that promotes "market cuisine" using fresh, seasonal produce. A Spark shop is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to cater for any untimely cravings or unforeseen events during their stay. There is also a fitness room with panoramic views, and the wellness area has two saunas.
This inauguration seems to bear witness to the smooth operation of the franchise agreement between the hotel giant and Lyon-based Arteloge Hôtels & Restaurants, which is already linked to the two other Spark addresses in Lyon. Especially as the opening is several months ahead of the original schedule, which is rare enough to merit a mention...
Eric Giorgi, CEO of Arteloge Hotels & Restaurants, said: " We're delighted to be working with Hilton to franchise some of our hotels in Lyon. This partnership allows us to benefit from the strength of an international brand while remaining managers and owners of our hotels. We are proud to play a part in the introduction of Spark by Hilton in France. ".
" One, two, three... "Igor Novakovic, EMEA Brand & Category Leader at Hilton, joked on LinkedIn. He continued: " Hilton's third Spark arrives in Lyon. Proud to mark the opening of the Eurexpo Spark by Hilton Lyon, in partnership with Arteloge - bringing brilliantly simple stays to one of France's most vibrant destinations. Built around practical comfort, sleek design and reliable essentials, the hotel offers effortless access to Eurexpo, Groupama Stadium and the wider Lyon region. Congratulations to all the teams involved in making this opening a reality ".
