Hilton has announced the signing of four new hotels in Lyon, France, in partnership with Arteloge, marking a significant expansion of its portfolio in the region. Among the new additions is the debut of the Spark by Hilton premium economy brand in France, alongside the launch of Lyon’s second DoubleTree by Hilton property.
The upcoming hotels include Spark by Hilton Lyon Ouest and Spark by Hilton Lyon Park Saone, both set to open in late 2025, as well as Spark by Hilton Lyon Eurexpo, scheduled for a summer 2026 debut. DoubleTree by Hilton Lyon Plage will join Hilton’s upscale offerings in 2028. Together, these properties will bring 655 rooms to Lyon’s growing hospitality market.
Strengthening Hilton’s Presence in France
Patrick Fitzgibbon, Senior Vice President of Development for EMEA at Hilton, emphasised the strategic importance of France in Hilton’s growth plans: “France remains a key strategic growth market for us, with plans to increase our portfolio by more than 50 per cent. We’re excited to be further expanding our presence in Lyon, a major city known for its rich culture, commerce and excellent connectivity. Working alongside Arteloge, we will be introducing Spark by Hilton to France as well as growing our DoubleTree by Hilton brand, demonstrating our commitment to delivering outstanding guest experiences in collaboration with trusted owners who have a deep understanding of the local market.”
A Collaborative Vision for Lyon
The partnership with Arteloge, a Lyon-based hospitality group, underscores a shared commitment to innovation and quality. Eric Giorgi, CEO of Arteloge, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration: “We’re delighted to be working with Hilton to bring four new properties to Lyon. This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to innovation and quality. We’re proud to play a role in introducing Spark by Hilton to France and expanding the presence of DoubleTree by Hilton in the region. We look forward to welcoming guests to these exceptional properties in the coming years.”
A Boost for Lyon’s Hospitality Landscape

These new hotels aim to cater to the diverse needs of visitors, from premium economy offerings under the Spark by Hilton brand to the upscale experience of DoubleTree by Hilton.
