Nothing quite says “Paris” like the Eiffel Tower. The City of Light is known for many things — art, architecture, couture, cuisine, a certain way of life, all perhaps closer to what it means to be French and Parisian — and yet it is this wrought iron giant that still leaps quickest to mind, especially to visitors. If it’s your first time in Paris (and even when it isn’t!) you might want to stay nearby: see the Eiffel Tower from your window, enjoy the nighttime light show, and get into photographic position at daybreak to make the most of the early morning light. And yet you’ll also want to be in good position to explore the rest of the city and enjoy all that Paris has to offer. Why not go for the best of both worlds and stay in a hotel that is near both the Eiffel Tower and a Metro / RER station? Here’s a shortlist of accommodations to consider.
Hotels Near Trocadéro Station
The Trocadéro is one of the best vantage points for viewing and taking photos of the Eiffel Tower. (In fact, the photo above was taken from the Palais de Chaillot in the Trocadéro.) Trocadéro station, just across the street from this platform, is a stop in both Line 6 and Line 9 of the Paris Métro and makes commuting to the city’s other places of interest easy and convenient. The airport bus from CDG — which also goes past the Arc de Triomphe — has a stop here.

Hotels near Bir-Hakeim Station
Accommodations in this area have a lot going for them. Aside from (obviously) being near the Bir-Hakeim Metro station and being walking distance to, and on the same side of the river as, the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel station of the RER C line is also nearby, giving you plenty of commuting options. Another plus: the Pont de Bir-Hakeim, a steel bridge and viaduct that is gorgeous in its own right and makes the perfect frame for the Eiffel Tower.
