The Eiffel Tower view is surely the most iconic, romantic view in Paris, but which hotel rooms can you book with views of this famous tower and which are near this monument? What is the best hotel room in Paris with views of the Eiffel Tower?
1. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris
One of the best suites in all of Paris with a view is the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris’s “Eiffel Tower Suite.” While it doesn’t offer the closest view of the Eiffel Tower, it is undoubtedly a great view that can be enjoyed from its charming wrought-iron terrace.
French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon comments, “Flooded with natural light, the suites are the perfect place to relax. Ancient and contemporary works of art create a timeless design scheme that harmoniously blends with the Hotel’s elegant décor.”
Spread over 140 m² (1,500 ft²), each suite has a connecting room, making both the perfect choice for families. Upon entering the Eiffel Tower Suite, you will be captivated by the exceptional views of the Eiffel Tower, the dome of Les Invalides, and the stunning city skyline beyond. These views are captured in the photo above courtesy of Four Seasons hotels and resorts. A charming wrought-iron terrace offers exceptional views of Paris’s most iconic monuments. The suite’s sun-flooded bow window is perfect for unwinding and soaking up the city’s famous sights.
Bright and spacious, the suite’s contemporary décor creates a feeling of gentle elegance and luxury. Meticulously selected materials, textured carpets, and fabrics in soft cream and ivory-colored tones create a serene and harmonious atmosphere. The suite is finished with Italian Carrara marble, and magnificent original works of art, including a brass engraving by Valérie Boy, adorn the bathroom walls alongside antique mirrors and historical engravings of the Hotel. A magnificent suite with a magnificent view n’est pas!
There is no Four Seasons rewards program, but if you are a regular guest of the Four Seasons or even want to try this iconic brand for the first time, you can take advantage of loyalty style benefits at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.

8. Hotel Lutetia
Hotel Lutetia is an iconic landmark situated in the vibrant St. Germain-des-Pres area of Paris and the only grand hotel on the left bank. This makes this hotel choice unusual and away from the majority of the luxury hotels in Paris.
Opened in 1910, the building was a daring move from art nouveau to the emerging style of art deco and remains a left-bank icon. Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Picasso, Matisse, and Josephine Baker were among regular visitors.
A $100-million-plus beautification led by local architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte has resulted in a stylish property with natural light flooding into common spaces from a central courtyard, uncovered during the renovation. Delicate ceiling frescoes in the lobby and bar were liberated from beneath layers of paint, and an original glass ceiling, darkened by years of soot, sparkles in the Salon Saint Germain. While the room count decreased from 233 to 184, all are larger and reconfigured with Calacatta marble bathrooms, oak floors, and king-size beds. The Lutetia Brasserie is a highlight and is under the direction of three-Michelin-starred chef Gérald Passedat.
If you want a view, the suite to pick is the Eiffel Penthouse with a roof terrace. Here, you can enjoy breakfast with one of the best views in Paris. This 360 Roof Terrace has views of the Eiffel Tower and beyond.
The hotel also has a rather good spa and pool. The Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Center is a 700 m² / 7,500 ft² spa dedicated to well-being and fitness, featuring a 17m swimming pool bathed in natural daylight. The pool is in a stunning marble-clad setting with a modern look, romanesque pillars to one side of the pool, and a lounging area with around ten loungers flanking the pool. The pool is fitted in very neatly against the wall, and being long and thin is ideal for swimming laps.
9. Ritz Paris
The Ritz Paris has been freshly restored. Its grand décor and intimate salons welcome guests to rediscover a unique atmosphere and the inimitable French art de Vivre. The Ritz Paris is renowned for its incomparable savoir-faire in making every visit exceptional, from Haute Cuisine by Chef Nicolas Sale to custom cocktails at the Bar Hemingway and indulgent beauty treatments at the exclusive new art of skincare area, “CHANEL au Ritz Paris.”
A favorite destination among the famous and powerful, the Ritz Paris has faithfully restored the signature decors of celebrated guests in its Prestige Suites. Marcel Proust, Frédéric Chopin, Coco Chanel, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor all opted for furnishings that reflected their personality, a décor of absolute sophistication and the tranquility of a sweeping view over the Place Vendôme.
The Gallery of the Ritz Paris runs through the hotel’s heart and connects the legendary place Vendôme to the very chic rue Cambon. An essential feature of the hotel, this architectural treasure faces the Grand Jardin and is bathed in light by day. The new Gallery of the Ritz Paris features 5 boutiques, 95 shop windows, and the Concept Store.
The Ritz Paris has been awarded Michelin stars for two restaurants: La Table de L’Espadon, for dinner every night, two stars Michelin (Chef Nicolas Sale) and Les Jardins de L’Espadon, for lunch from Monday to Saturday, one-star Michelin (Chef Nicolas Sale)
The Ritz Club Paris has a celebrated Ritz pool, fitness facilities, and the new area “CHANEL au Ritz Paris” honor our tradition of offering deeply indulgent, restorative moments of relaxation.
The pool itself is quite formal in design, deep blue with cream pillars and murals on the wall. Swim a few laps, participate in an aquagym or water biking class, and watch as ripples of celadon become tinged with azure.
Book a stay here, and you are so close to the Eifel Tower you can almost touch it. The best suites offer terraces with this view. It is so special that you will not want to close your eyes!
10. La Reserve Paris Hotel & Spa

La Réserve Paris Hotel and Spa overlook the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon, and the Concorde obelisk. Just in front, a majestic curtain of trees preserves the intimacy of this place, like an echo of the Elysée Gardens nearby.
All around are immense spaces bathed in light, barely muted by the rich fabrics of the hangings. Scattered here and there are beautiful marble fireplaces and everywhere, the joy of vast indoor spaces, typical of Haussmann-style apartments. Enjoy a library, wine cellars in the suites, and an inner courtyard with lush greenery echoing the landscaped entrance.
Some rooms have balconies just large enough to sit out on and enjoy breakfast, looking out at the Eifel Tower in the distance.
A 16-meter indoor pool at La Reserve Paris is set in a modern space, and this indoor pool is exclusively reserved for guests at La Réserve Paris.
