Where to Find the Best Eiffel Tower Views?

The rooftops of the palaces in the 16th and 8th arrondissements offer the most iconic views of the Iron Lady. These elevated terraces, often open during fine weather, transform a simple cocktail into an exceptional moment. To sleep with the same view, see our selection of hotels with Eiffel Tower views.

Which Rooftops for Atmosphere and Lively Evenings?

For a lively energy, the rooftops in Le Marais, Saint-Germain, and the eastern districts of Paris lead the way. Music, cocktails, and a trendy clientele: these terraces of gallery hotels and design addresses have become entertainment venues in their own right, frequented by Parisians and travellers alike.

Do You Need to Be a Hotel Guest to Access Them?

No: most Parisian hotel rooftops welcome non-residents, for a drink or a meal. It’s a clever way to enjoy an exceptional setting without staying there. However, remember to book on busy summer evenings. And to extend the Parisian experience, discover our charming boutique hotels and our comparison Cheval Blanc Paris or Le Bristol.
