Hotels near the Eiffel Tower: which side of the tower, and which rooms see it

In this guide

💡 The Short Version: The tower has four sides to stay on. Grenelle (15e), by the Seine, has the closest hotels on this page: the Pullman (about 330 m) and the Mercure (about 360 m). The Seine and Avenue Rapp (7e), about 520 m, has the Derby Alma. École Militaire and Rue Cler (7e), south-east of the Champ de Mars, is quieter and about 1 km away, with metro line 8 to the Opéra. Trocadéro (16e) looks at the tower across the river. Book a room category, not a hotel, for the view: choose the one the hotel names, such as the Pullman’s Deluxe room with balcony and tower view. For most other sights you will take the metro: Notre-Dame is about 3 km away. Every hotel adds a tourist tax of €5.53 (3 stars) to €11.70 (5 stars) per adult per night.

The hotels

Each hotel’s address and its room categories are from its own website, read on 30 September 2026. Distances are in a straight line from the address to the tower; the walk is longer. The links go to the hotel on Hotels.com.

The rooms that see the tower

A hotel near the tower does not mean a room that sees it. Each hotel here names its view rooms, which are sold as their own category; the table gives the one to book. The palace and five-star hotels that sell the view, and the rooftop bars, are in Paris hotels with an Eiffel Tower view.

The tower itself

The Eiffel Tower tickets guide has the prices. If the official date is sold out, GetYourGuide sells reserved access with a hostad (from £36.00, 4.7 stars from 7,576 reviews) and the lift with a Seine cruisead (from £48.70, 4.6 stars from 7,739 reviews). The Seine cruise from the Eiffel Towerad (from £15.43) leaves from the pier at the foot of the tower; Seine river cruises compared has the other boats. Prices checked 30 September 2026.

Common questions

Which hotel is closest to the Eiffel Tower?

Of the hotels on this page, the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, about 330 m from the tower in a straight line, and the Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, about 360 m, both on the Grenelle side by the Seine. The Derby Alma, on the Avenue Rapp, is about 520 m away.

Do hotels near the Eiffel Tower have a view of it?

Only certain rooms, and only a few hotels say which. Book the named category: the Pullman's Deluxe rooms with a balcony and tower view, the Mercure's upper-floor Privilege room with tower view, Le Walt's Eiffel Tower View room or the Derby Alma's Eiffel Tower-facing Executive room. La Comtesse says every one of its rooms sees the tower, from the front or the side.

Is it a good idea to stay near the Eiffel Tower?

For a quiet, residential base with the tower on the doorstep, yes. It is about 3 km from Notre-Dame and 4 to 5 km from Montmartre, so most other sights are a metro or RER ride: line 8 from École Militaire, line 6 from Bir-Hakeim, or the RER C along the Left Bank.
