This was a great hotel and the echoes are still there in the architecture and the silk draped rooms but the hotel is under new ownership and there are some problems as the new team attempt to get back to the old standards.
We had problems with our breakfast, which arrived each day with something missing, and the rooms are tired and in need of some repair work and the elevator broke down but was quickly fixed.
We only eat in the ground floor brassiere and had no problems with the food.
On the positive side the new owner Jacques Champion, his partner and all his people were outstandingly friendly and helpful.
My advice would be that if you don't mind a few rough edges in your hotel experience, this is still a special place but not quite to the standards of earlier times.

This is one of the most unique hotels I've ever had the pleasure to visit. The rooms are exquisitely beautiful, the fabrics and textures and colors. The entire hotel is like a work of art. My highest compliments to the owners and staff. The cuisine is the stuff of legend - served in beautiful surroundings. The hotel's location in the mainly pedestrian area of old Lyon is wonderful for strolling and window shopping and lingering at cafes for drinks and meals. I wish I could have stayed longer!

La tour rose, in the middle of old Lyon is thoroughly recommendable. The rooms are individually different, location could not be better and the hospitality and friendly service is first class.A place to stay at in Lyon if you like the easy life with everything you need within walking distance

La tour rose had really modern and funky rooms.Every afternoon when we would arrive back to the room some fabulous dessert creation was waiting for us.The restaurant in the hotel was amazing.Ill never forget I had a truffle the size of a golf ball in a puff pastery with a perigord sauce I actually got high from the overdose of truffle...it was amazing.I would stay at La Tour Rose next time I go to Lyon and it is so perfectly located!
