Practical Information

To access these places, a car is recommended, especially for La Parenthèse, Le Domaine d'Archambaud, and Dodo Lodge. From Lyon, expect a travel time of 30 to 45 minutes depending on the destination. For the establishments within the city (Love Rooms, MiHotel, Keystone, Secret Room), the metro and TCL public transport are more than sufficient. Book in advance, as slots in private spas and highly-rated guest rooms fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
