💡 The Short Version: A tower view is a room category, not a hotel. Book the one the hotel names: Shangri-La’s Eiffel View Room (45 m²) or its Terrace Eiffel View Room (55 m²), the Peninsula’s Rooftop Eiffel Suite, the Pullman’s Deluxe room with balcony and Eiffel Tower view or its Superior room on a high floor, the Mercure’s Privilege room with tower view, or the Novotel Vaugirard’s Executive room with tower view. The cheaper categories at the same hotels look at courtyards, gardens or avenues. A rooftop bar with the view is not a room with it. Every hotel also adds a tourist tax of €8.45 (4 stars) to €15.93 (palace) per adult per night. The hotels below are on Hotels.com.

Rooftop bars with a view
These hotels have a rooftop with a view of the city. They are bars and restaurants, and a room booking does not guarantee the view.

- Terrass” Hotel, 12–14 rue Joseph-de-Maistre, 18e (Hotels.comad): the Edmond restaurant, on the 7th floor, and the rooftop bar look over the whole of Paris from Montmartre, with the tower among the landmarks (terrass-hotel.com, 30 September 2026). The hotel does not sell its rooms as tower-view.
- The Peninsula Paris: the rooftop restaurant and bar L’Oiseau Blanc looks over the city’s monuments (peninsula.com, 30 September 2026).
- Novotel Paris Vaugirard Montparnasse: the Ilvolo rooftop bar has the tower in view.
- Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel: a temporary rooftop bar, 10e Ciel, looks at the tower; it opens on selected dates only (all.accor.com, 30 September 2026).
Before you book
- Book the category, not the hotel: a hotel name in a Hotels.com search does not carry the view. Choose the room type the table names.
- The tourist tax is extra: per adult per night, €8.45 at a 4-star hotel, €11.70 at 5 stars and €15.93 at a palace, the same in 2026 and 2027 (taxedesejour.paris.fr, 30 September 2026).
- Getting there from the airport: the RER B from Charles de Gaulle does not come here; see Charles de Gaulle to central Paris, or Orly and Beauvais to Paris for metro line 14.
The tower itself
A hotel with the view does not get you up it. Lift tickets go on sale 60 days ahead and sell out in busy periods, and stairs tickets must be booked in advance too: the Eiffel Tower tickets guide has the prices. Seine river cruises compared covers the boats from the piers below it. For the rest of Paris, area by area, see where to stay in Paris.
Common questions
Which Paris hotels have rooms with an Eiffel Tower view?
Among those checked here: Shangri-La Paris, the Peninsula Paris, Hôtel Plaza Athénée, the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, the Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, the Novotel Paris Vaugirard Montparnasse, Plaza Tour Eiffel, Hôtel Le Walt, Hôtel Le Derby Alma and Hôtel La Comtesse. Each sells the view as a named room category.
How do you book a hotel room with an Eiffel Tower view?
Book the category the hotel names, not the hotel. At Shangri-La that is the Eiffel View Room, at the Pullman a Deluxe room with balcony and Eiffel Tower view, at the Mercure the Privilege room with tower view, at the Peninsula the Rooftop Eiffel Suite. The cheaper categories at the same hotels look at courtyards, gardens or streets.
Does a rooftop bar with an Eiffel Tower view mean the rooms have it?
No. The Terrass'' Hotel in Montmartre, the Peninsula's L'Oiseau Blanc and the Novotel Vaugirard's Ilvolo bar all have rooftop views. The rooms are booked separately, and of the three only the Peninsula and the Novotel name a tower-view room.
Is the Eiffel Tower view worth paying for?
It costs a higher room category. Book it if the view is the reason for the stay. The cheaper alternative is a room at a hotel near the tower and a ticket to the summit: lift tickets are €36.70 and go on sale 60 days ahead.
