When planning a visit to the City of Lights, you’re spoilt for choice with historic museums and cathedrals to see, amazing food to taste, quaint cafes to visit, and of course the magical Seine to walk along. But from all these amazing landmarks to visit in Paris, the one that attracts the most tourists is the infamous Eiffel Tower or Iron Lady.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower is always at the top of everyone’s list. Seeing the magnificent La Dame de Fer that even Hitler couldn’t defeat, is as awe-inspiring from the distance of the Champs de Mars as it is from right in front of it. But the best views of the Eiffel Tower, are those where you wake up in the middle of the night, walk over to the window and look out at the tower standing tall over the sleeping city of Paris.
So when you book that hotel in Paris, look for something where you can enjoy a glass of wine late in the evening while looking at the most famous landmark of Paris. Or book a hotel where you can wake up to sip your coffee while looking out at La Tour Eiffel!

Other FAQs About Staying Near Eiffel Tower in Paris
Do You Need a Car in Paris?
You can rent a car in Paris and drive with a valid US license of International Driving Permit, but it’s better not to drive in Paris, unless you’re planning on taking a lot of day trips.
While there are plenty of modern roads, there are many small lanes and alleys that retain their historical nature. And then there are the many roundabouts that even confuse the Parisians, plus the trouble of finding parking space. It’s not worth the time consumed or the frustration faced while driving to rent a car in Paris.
Which Are The Best Hotels With Eiffel Tower Views?
Hôtel Plaza Athénée – Dorchester Collection that was featured in the series ‘Sex and the City’ and the Four Seasons Hotel located on Avenue George V have the best views of the Eiffel Tower.
Between these two, Four Seasons is much better, and considering the fact that Plaza Athenee has been boycotted a few times because of the ownership, I vote Four Season – I’ll have a full review coming soon!
