Vicartem and Épopée Gestion announce the acquisition of Maison Nô in Lyon, operated by Younight Hospitality
Continuing the momentum that began in 2024, Épopée Gestion and Vicartem are strengthening their partnership with the acquisition of Maison Nô, a 4-star hotel with 45 rooms located in the heart of Lyon. Younight Hospitality will manage the hotel, continuing a shared strategy of developing sustainable, unique hotels with deep roots in their local communities.
A prime location in the heart of the Lyon peninsula
The establishment has 45 rooms, contemporary common areas, and a panoramic rooftop with a bar and restaurant: a particularly distinctive feature in the Lyon market. Its location in the heart of the Presqu'île, one of Lyon's most sought-after areas, reflects the care taken in selecting locations that are both strategic and fully integrated into their local environment.
Younight Hospitality will spearhead a targeted repositioning aimed at affirming the unique identity of the hotel and its rooftop, a sought-after destination for travelers and Lyon residents alike. Buoyed by the favorable momentum of Lyon as a destination, this evolution aims to reveal the full potential of this prime asset and position Maison Nô among the leading players in the high-end boutique hotel segment for the long term. Pierre Ferreira-Leal, previously director of the Balthazar hotel in Rennes, will take over as manager of the establishment to oversee this new chapter and lead the operational repositioning of Maison Nô.
Complementary expertise serving local communities
Épopée Gestion and Younight Hospitality share the belief that a successful regional hotel industry is based on a thorough understanding of the local area and the ability to establish establishments with a strong identity.
Épopée Gestion draws on its knowledge of local dynamics and its expertise as an investor to identify high-potential assets in attractive destinations. Younight Hospitality leverages its operational know-how to create welcoming and distinctive venues that are deeply rooted in their environment.
By combining these areas of expertise—asset selection on the one hand and operational excellence on the other—the two partners are gradually building a coherent and sustainable portfolio designed to bring lasting value to the regions in which they invest.
Arnaud Lehuédé, partner and director of sustainable real estate at Épopée Gestion, comments: "The acquisition of Maison Nô marks a new stage in the partnership built with Vicartem and Younight Hospitality. Together, we are continuing to build a selective hotel portfolio in the heart of attractive regional destinations. Maison Nô fully illustrates our approach: characterful establishments with strong potential and solid roots in their local area."
Romain Gowhari, Founding Partner of Younight Hospitality, adds: "This acquisition in Lyon marks an important step in our development with Épopée Gestion. Maison Nô is a premium address, ideally located, which fully corresponds to our vision of a unique and sustainable high-end urban hotel. Our goal is to strengthen its identity and boutique hotel experience, serving a demanding local and international clientele."
