1998, my husband and I traveled through France for his 50th birthday and had heard so much about Lyon's culinary superiority to Paris that we were wildly curious about fine dining there. We chose La Tour Rose for his birthday dinner and were NOT dissappointed. Each course more exquisit than the last. Old Lyon is beautiful and evokes all that ...

The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

The only problem with La Tour Rose was finding it. It was late at the end of a long day coming from Toulouse and finally a friendly Gendarme literally let us follow him to the hotel.

Once there, our experience was enchanting, a lovely room, a great meal and a most understanding staff. We could not have been happier and are planning a trip back to Lyon, largely based on our experience at La Tour Rose.
