Best Hotels in Paris with a View of the Eiffel Tower
It’s funny that we view the Eiffel Tower today as a symbol of Paris. When it was originally built for the 1889 World Fair, it was heavily criticized by designers. It was also meant to be temporary!
Lucky for us, the wrought iron beauty is a permanent fixture. Here’s a complete list of beautiful Parisian hotels with views of the Eiffel Tower.

Hotel Balzac is for the history and culture lovers. Originally built in the 19th century for the director of the Paris Opera, the luxury hotel lies just off the Champs-Elysées and near the Arc de Triomphe.

Visiting Paris – Travel Checklist
We took a red eye to Paris from JFK. You can find cheap Paris flights from low cost carriers almost all year round – check for flight deals here.
Paris has some of the best museums in the world. I spent an entire summer living in the city, visiting different churches, museums and historic homes and still couldn’t get enough. If you plan to sight see, look into a Paris Pass – it’s a great value! The pass can be purchased for multiple days and allows you to skip the line at 60+ attractions. See the full list of included sights and attractions here.
Lastly, be sure to visit Paris with travel insurance. Whether you get injured and need to be hospitalized, your phone gets stolen, or a flight delay leaves you with nothing but the clothes on your back, travel insurance will help when you need it most. During our recent trip, riots in Paris shut down the city center and forced a closure of all the main sights (the Louvre, Versailles, etc). Get a quote for your trip here.
