Hotels near the Eiffel Tower

If you want to stay near the Tour Eiffel, we recommend choosing a hotel in the western half of the 7th arrondissement.

By Durant Imboden

The Eiffel Tower neighborhood is a perennial favorite with foreign visitors to Paris--possibly because of the Tour Eiffel's popularity, but also because the area is pleasant for strolling after dark, when the tower is illuminated by 336 light-beam projectors and 20,000 light bulbs sparkle for the first five to ten minutes of every hour between sundown and 1 a.m.

When booking a hotel near the Eiffel Tower, it's important to know that the tower lies on the border of two arrondissements or districts: the 15th on the west, and the 7th to the east. We strongly recommend staying in the 7th, for two reasons:

• The section of the 15th arrondissement near the tower is dominated by large modern apartment buildings and hotels, while the 7th has more of the charm and atmosphere that visitors associate with Paris.

• The 7th is also convenient to other major tourist attractions, museums, and shopping on both the Left and Right Banks of the Seine.

We suggest choosing a hotel in the western half of the 7th arrondissement if you want to be near the Eiffel Tower. The listings on this page meet that requirement.

Please note:

• Not all Paris hotels are air-conditioned, especially in the one-, two-, and (often) three-star categories. If you're visiting in the summer and don't like heat, check whether a hotel has air conditioning before you book.

• The hotel listings below have guest-rating scores that are drawn in real time from Booking.com's database.
