Fodor's Review:

Lodging high up on the Corniche Road yields superlative views with elegant comfort. Named for 17th-century author and adventurer, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, the entry of the inn is stocked with stained glass, porcelain, and metal works similar to the trove brought back from his travels to Persia, Africa, and the Orient. Guest rooms assume a modern appearance, clad in honey and green with marbled bathrooms and private balconies. Le Deck ($$), an expansive terrace bar and alfresco eatery connected by crosswalk, is tethered above the lake like a hot air balloon. When there is a chill in the air, take to the warm, wood-paneled pinte ($-$$) for mets du terroir (regional specialties), or move into the stately dining room ($$$) for a multi-course extravaganza. There is garage parking tucked into the curve on the adjacent hillside; a car is needed to access this location.
