Best Paris Hotels with Views of the Eiffel Tower
Famous French writer Guy de Maupassant ate lunch at the Eiffel Tower’s restaurant each day for years during the late 1800’s—not because of its beauty, but because it was the only place in Paris where he could enjoy his meal without looking at the tower.
For many years, Parisians saw the Eiffel Tower as an eyesore on the city’s skyline, but for the rest of the world, the Eiffel Tower became one of the world’s most recognized landmarks.

General Tips for Staying at Hotels in Paris
- Use our comparison tool to get the best rate for the hotel you choose. Our tool compares prices at all the major booking sites, like Hotels.com, ZenHotels, Expedia, Priceline and many more and ensures that you get a great deal.
- If it is your first time in Paris, you need to book for four to five nights to delve into the fantastic culture, sightseeing, and food that the city offers. This will also help save you money with some hotels that provide multi-night specials.
- Remember to book skip the line ticket for the Eiffel Tower and the main attractions in Paris, so you don’t waste hours waiting in line.
- Paris is great to visit all year long, but the primary tourist season is in the spring and summer when the gardens are bloomed or blooming, produce is fresh for the restaurants, and you can enjoy all the green spaces in the city.
- Paris has a continental climate with four seasons, but because of the Atlantic Ocean, it typically doesn’t get too cold in the winter or hot in the summer. You should pack for the season but always include some extras. For example, make sure to have one warmer outfit and a lightweight jacket in the summer and have some lighter options in the winter.
- From a fashion standpoint, Parisians are chic, and everyday wear is on the dressy side, such as trousers or nice jeans with a nice shirt. You won’t see Parisians strolling around in yoga pants and a T-shirt. If you want to fit in with the locals, always look put together and don’t overdo it with bold prints. Instead, go for strong neutral colors like black, navy, gray, and beige. You can also look at our “What to Wear in Europe” Guide here.
- Most don’t expect tips in Paris because of their 15% service charge law, but it’s still good to tip those that help you when you stay at a hotel, especially when they offer excellent service. Appropriate minimum amounts include a €1-€2 tip per bag when a bellhop carries your bag all the way to your room, €1-€2 for the doorman if he hails you a cab, €1-€2 per day for the maid, and €1-€3 for room service waiters. Hotel concierges in Paris don’t expect tips, but if they go above and beyond, a tip of €5 to €15 or more is appropriate.
