This hotel is located in a quiet park on the "mountain" Fourviere near the beautiful basilica of Fourviere, with two churches on top of each other. You can raech the famous old city of Lyon with the funicular (train) (€ 2,80) 15 min. walking from the hotel and takes just a few minutes (latest departure approx. 22:00h). From there, you also easily can walk crossing the river Saone "down" to the more modern city. The hotel restaurant is good. Parking is spacious.

Spa Empures is a really nice hotel! Beautifully designed. Great food. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Great room with nice sea view. Located in the middle of a forrest and surrounded by wonderful beaches!

Guy, Belgium

We visited in May, and the hotel, like the weather, was perfect. The hotel is the product of a Mediterranean eco-fantasy -- Blue and white and green all over (sorry, couldn't resist). We did not purposely choose an "eco-friendly" hotel, but this hotel practices more than it preaches. The atrium area contained the hotel's herb gardens; the solar panels were unobtrusively placed; the amenities, activities and surroundings quietly affirmed this hotel's commitment to environmental stewardship. We are not "eco-warriors" by any stretch of the imagination, but we do appreciate efforts to minimize wastefulness. Hostal Spa Empuries does so elegantly. We loved the location of the hotel -- the beach of course is lovely. The bonus for us was its proximity to the Ruins of Empuries, an archaeological site and museum. We highly recommend this hotel!

Alicia, United States of America

Bedrooms excellent with great sea view! All the decor was made of natural fabrics,books freely available, plenty open space but also quiet, cosy corners to relax in. Staff most helpful & impressed with disabled access throughout. All good!

Anne, United Kingdom

Great location. Nice promenade and beach. The spa experience was nice. The breakfast buffet made us very happy. The gastronomic restaurant is a must try :) The maitre d'hotel made great suggestions at the restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot

눉Bar had no snacks for late afternoon other than olives and chips. Dinner choices were limited. Expensive steak tough and tasteless, salty duck, no simple tasty choices. Poor maintenance on kayaks and room fixtures such as lamps, toilet paper rolls. Would have liked lounge chairs on the veranda. You pay additionally for any extra
눇Fabulous view. Very quiet. Morning buffet. Beautiful veranda. Lovely walking paths. Spa pool, sauna, jacuzzi lovely, but use is pricey and additional.

“Nice hotel but too crowded during the day...”

- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The wonderful location at a great beach and next to some important excavation/ruine attracts a lot of people who are not staying at the hotel but make the beach really crowded. At certain moments, there are school classes that came to visit the ruine as well and they take over almost the whole beach. The beach in front of the hotel is horrible at those moments. Also, the hotel has no pool or beach chairs, so you need to rent your beach chairs at one of the beaches in the area. You need to manage around these inconveniences. At night and early morning the place is peacefull and quiet, but not so during the day...
