Built on the Champ de Mars as the centrepiece of the 1889 World Fair, the Eiffel Tower is Paris’ most famous landmark. The city’s tallest building at 330 metres, the wrought-iron lattice tower (nicknamed ‘la dame de fer’), has become a cultural icon, attracting millions of visitors each year. Whether you’re keen to gaze out across Paris from the observation deck, to dine at a restaurant in the sky, or simply to amble around the landscaped gardens at its base, the Eiffel Tower is not to be missed. Particularly beautiful when lit up at night, this dramatic addition to the Parisian skyline can also be admired from many of the city’s top hotels. Savour early morning coffee in bed, sip cocktails at trendy rooftop bars, or unwind on your private balcony, all with beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower. The best of Paris awaits.

63 rooms The Eiffel Tower’s striking height and superb setting on the Champ de Mars, near the banks of the Seine, mean that it can be seen from neighbourhoods across the city. Some of the most luxurious hotels in Paris sit just across the river in the elegant 8th arrondissement, but our selection of top places to stay also includes lovely hotels in Montmartre and in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, on the famously creative Left Bank.
Many of these hotels offer attractive bedrooms with classic, contemporary or Art Deco interiors; often inspired by the architecture of the buildings themselves. Most have excellent restaurants showcasing French and international flavours, as well as bars serving wine and cocktails. The smaller hotels tend to be quieter and more intimate, whilst their larger counterparts boast a plethora of facilities. Expect world-class wellness centres with gyms, indoor swimming pools and soothing spas, expansive event spaces for business travellers, and knowledgable concierge teams who can organise theatre tickets, dinner reservations and guided city tours.
Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic honeymoon, a memorable family holiday or an exceptional business trip with clients, Paris won’t disappoint. Marvellous views of the Eiffel Tower can be seen from lavish landmark hotels as well as appealing boutique boltholes: it really is all about knowing where to look!
For unmatched opulence just across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, consider the dazzling Shangri-La Paris. The Palais de Tokyo and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris are also within walking distance. The Peninsula Paris is another luxury stand-out close to the Arc de Triomphe, with spectacular views of the glittering Eiffel Tower from rooftop restaurant L’Oiseau Blanc.
Boutique highlights in the nearby 8th arrondissement include Hôtel Marignan Champs-Elysées, on a peaceful street close to designer shops, the Hôtel Keppler, housed in a 19th century Hausmann building, and the impressive Bulgari Hôtel Paris on Avenue George V. Hôtel Bowmann is another favourite, with marble bathrooms, sumptuous gilt-adorned bedrooms, and rooftop views over the city.
You’ll find the acclaimed Cheval Blanc, with its three Michelin-starred eateries, close to the Musée du Louvre and the Pont Neuf. The hotel promises sightings of the Eiffel Tower from across the Seine. Neoclassical landmark Le Meurice sits nearby, just opposite the Jardin des Tuileries.
Steps from the Esplanade des Invalides, and within walking distance from the Eiffel Tower, is the 37-room Le Narcisse Blanc. Book the Aurore Suite to marvel at the Eiffel Tower in style from your private terrace.
Head a little further south-east into the artistic Latin Quarter for a stay at Art Deco gem Hôtel Dame des Arts, or Le Grand Hôtel Cayré in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Both offer a splendid perspective on the Parisian skyline.
When it comes to popular budget-friendly hotels with views of the Eiffel Tower, the lovely Maison Mère, with its ‘Toit de Paris’ rooms near Montmartre, is brilliant.
