Prepare to Be Wowed: An Unforgettable Experience
I’ve traveled the globe, and this suite truly surpasses all expectations. It’s bigger than my entire flat, boasting an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower that will leave you breathless. My research paid off big time, and if you’re searching for a hotel room in Paris with the ultimate Eiffel Tower perspective, this is it. Look no further! This suite is a true gem, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better option in the city of lights.
Parisian Elegance at Its Finest
While this breathtaking view doesn’t come cheap, it’s an investment in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’ve never paid so much for a single night in a hotel, but this suite is truly special. It’s the only one of its kind in the entire hotel, so book early! Let’s dive into what makes this opulent space so extraordinary.
A Symphony of Space and Luxury
Stepping into the suite, you’re greeted by a massive 110 square meters of pure luxury. It’s over 50% bigger than the flat I lived in! The sheer size is mind-blowing, especially when you consider the average UK hotel room size.
A Haven of Comfort and Indulgence
To your right, you’ll find a well-stocked bar area, perfect for a celebratory toast. The mini-fridge is filled with prosecco, wine, beer, water, and soft drinks, and while only the water and soft drinks are complimentary, the other beverages are priced competitively. There’s also a Nespresso machine for your coffee cravings and a selection of glasses and mugs to suit your drink of choice.
The seating area invites you to relax and unwind with its cozy corner sofa, a stylish coffee table, and a 46-inch flat-screen TV with a Bose speaker system. The suite is flooded with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that frame the Eiffel Tower’s majestic silhouette. After the seating area, you’ll discover a large marble dining table where you can enjoy room service. Alternatively, you can dine al fresco on the balcony if the weather permits. A luxurious bathroom is conveniently located just before you reach the bedroom.
A Sanctuary of Dreams
The bedroom can be closed off from the main suite with sliding doors, creating a private oasis of relaxation. The king-size bed features some of the most comfortable pillows I’ve ever encountered, promising a truly restful sleep. The bedroom is spacious and well-appointed, with a chaise lounge for extra comfort and a 46-inch flat-screen TV for your entertainment. You can step out onto the balcony directly from the bedroom through double doors.
A Spa-Like Escape
On the other side of the bedroom lies a massive bathroom, an indulgence for the senses. The centerpiece is a double bath filled with luxurious C.O. Bigelow toiletries. The shower area features a sensational rainfall shower, complemented by a hand shower for added convenience. Two sinks with large mirrors and a second toilet add to the luxurious touch.
A Suite Designed for Extended Stays
If you’re planning an extended stay, this suite has you covered with ample storage space, including a walk-in wardrobe. You can also enjoy music throughout the suite with a Bose dock and iPad.
The Highlight: An Unforgettable View
The crown jewel of this suite is undoubtedly the unparalleled view of the Eiffel Tower. I spent hours researching the best Eiffel Tower view from a hotel room, and this was my top find. Even my American Express Platinum concierge couldn’t find a better option! This breathtaking perspective is the ultimate selling point.
The continuous balcony spans the length of the suite, offering a front-row seat to the Eiffel Tower’s splendor. A table and chairs invite you to savor the moment and soak in the Parisian charm.
Top Tip: From 6 pm, the Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes every hour until 1 am. This is the perfect opportunity for those Instagram-worthy shots!
A Location Second to None
The hotel is situated on the Left Bank of Paris, right next to the Eiffel Tower, making it the ideal location for exploring the city’s iconic landmarks. With 430 rooms and nine different types, plus three suite options, the hotel offers something for every traveler. It also boasts a brasserie called FRAME and a bar for evening cocktails. Check-in starts at 2 pm, and early check-in requests are generally granted. Check-out is at 11 am, but late check-out requests are usually accommodated.
Getting There
The hotel is approximately 18 miles from Charles de Gaulle Airport and 10 miles from Paris Orly Airport. The Gare Champ de Mars Tour Eiffel station is a short five-minute walk away, easily accessible from Charles de Gaulle Airport via a combination of RER B and RER C services in just under an hour. The cost of this journey is approximately 11€. Alternatively, you can take Le Bus Direct on line 2, which takes around 60-70 minutes and costs 18€. Paid parking is also available at the hotel if you prefer to drive.
Culinary Delights
With the breathtaking view from our suite and the luxurious marble dining table, dining in was a no-brainer. The room service menu offers a tempting selection of dishes. Starters range from 11€ for soup to 19€ for a chopped avocado salad with smoked salmon toast.
Main courses start at 14€ for linguine and go up to 37€ for a 300g seared strip steak, which we both opted for. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the hotel staff was attentive, bringing it up on a hot plate and setting the table for us. Other main course options include a spiced chicken dish and the fish of the day.
Desserts average around 12€, offering options like chocolate fondant, cheese, and fruit salad. Some dishes across the three courses are available 24 hours a day, with healthy options highlighted on the menu. A TV Dinner option is also available, offering a sharing platter with smoked salmon, roasted chicken, ham, cheese, salad, and tortillas for 29€.

My stay at the Pullman Eiffel Suite was truly exceptional. While the price tag might be daunting, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. The suite itself is magnificent, and who can resist the allure of waking up to the Eiffel Tower’s mesmerizing silhouette?
