Imagine this: You wake up, open your eyes, and there it is – the iconic Eiffel Tower standing tall and majestic, bathed in the golden glow of the rising sun. This isn’t a dream, it’s the reality of staying at the Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower Hotel’s Penthouse Eiffel Suite. This luxurious haven boasts unparalleled views of the City of Lights, offering a truly unforgettable experience.
This suite is a world away from your typical hotel room. It’s bigger than my entire flat, offering over 110 square meters of lavish space. The sheer scale is mind-blowing, especially compared to the average UK hotel room, which is about half the size. It’s like stepping into your own personal palace.
Stepping into the suite is like entering a Parisian haven. The right side welcomes you with a fully stocked bar. A mini-fridge stocked with prosecco, wine, beer, water, and soft drinks caters to every taste. While the alcoholic beverages come at a price, the water and soft drinks are free, a welcome perk. And let’s not forget the Nespresso machine for a perfect morning pick-me-up.
The spacious seating area is a place to relax and soak in the panoramic views. The corner sofa invites you to settle in, while the 46-inch flat-screen TV with a Bose speaker system provides entertainment options. The floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the suite in natural light, framing the Eiffel Tower in all its glory.
Moving on, you discover a massive marble dining table, perfect for enjoying room service or a romantic dinner under the Parisian sky. If the weather is favorable, you can even dine outside on the balcony, with the Eiffel Tower as your backdrop.
The bedroom, a sanctuary of comfort, is separated from the main suite by sliding doors. A king-size bed with heavenly pillows promises blissful sleep. The room is spacious and includes a chaise longue for lounging and another 46-inch TV. Step out onto the balcony from the bedroom for breathtaking views of the twinkling city lights.
Prepare to be pampered in the luxurious bathroom. A double bath with a generous selection of C. O. Bigelow toiletries invites you to relax and unwind. The rain shower is an absolute dream, while the double sinks and separate toilet add to the sense of luxury.
For longer stays, the suite offers ample storage space, including a walk-in wardrobe. A Bose dock and iPad allow you to play music throughout the suite, creating your own personal soundtrack for your Parisian adventure.
The View That Steals the Show
But the true star of the show is the view. This suite boasts one of the best private views of the Eiffel Tower you can find. I spent hours researching to find the perfect Eiffel Tower view from a hotel room, and this was undoubtedly the top find. Even the concierge service through my American Express Platinum card couldn’t recommend anything better.
Imagine waking up to the majestic Eiffel Tower every morning. The suite’s continuous balcony runs the length of the space, offering ample room for relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
Don’t forget to catch the Eiffel Tower’s sparkle! From 6pm onwards, it lights up for five minutes on the hour, creating a magical spectacle perfect for capturing on camera.

Indulge in Room Service
With the stunning Eiffel Tower view and the spacious marble dining table, it would’ve been a shame to leave the suite for dinner. We opted for room service, and the menu had something for every palate.
Starters ranged from soup for 11€ to a delicious chopped avocado salad with smoked salmon toast and a grain bowl for 19€. Main courses started at 14€ for linguine and went up to 37€ for a 300g seared strip steak, which we both enjoyed immensely. Other options included a spiced chicken dish and the fish of the day.
Desserts were around 12€ on average with options like chocolate fondant, cheese, and fruit salad. Several dishes were available 24 hours a day, with healthy options clearly marked on the menu.
