Fourvière Hôtel Lyon is located 23 rue Roger Radisson, on top of the ancient théâtre, just above the Odéon and below the Basilica. The establishment reinvents the former convent built by Pierre- Marie Bossan for the Visitation nuns, leaving behind a Croix-Rousse disrupted by the social movements of the time.
It opens out onto the Parc des Hauteurs, a peaceful stretch of greenery originally intended to house the nuns' cloister. The adjacent Visitation garden has since become a public garden appreciated by local residents.
The artist Pablo Reinoso accompanied the Fourvière Hôtel Lyon team to ensure an adapted artistic direction.
The aim was to transform a 19th-century convent into a 4-star hôtel. This involved modernizing and opening up these spaces to the outside world, and creating new circulations to accompany the convent towards its new destination.

Also, Pablo Reinoso has created a sculpture trail specifically for the site, running from the entrance to the cloisters. Fôret Fourvière, Fourvière Bench and Arrêt-sur-Nuage guide the traveler through the édifice and invite him or her to fully enter the universe of Fourvière Hôtel Lyon.
This journey of œuvres constitutes a veritable in-situ work. Each sculpture enters into dialogue with the convent's architecture, providing a new reading of the spaces. This delicate work weaves a strong link between historical heritage and the contemporary world. Through these sculptures, Pablo Reinoso gives us the thread of a story to come, that of Fourvière Hôtel Lyon.

Each one recounts a piece of history through the city's emblematic figures: Lucius Munatius Plancus, Pierre-Marie Bossan, the Lumi brothers... 75 of them, all belonging to a past, near or far, have been chosen to adorn the doors of the rooms.
