Discover the charm of Hotel Duquesne Eiffel, a traditional hotel nestled in the peaceful 7th Arrondissement of Paris. Escape the bustling tourist crowds and immerse yourself in the authentic Parisian experience.
A Home Away From Home
Step inside and feel the warmth of a cozy living room. The lobby welcomes you with its original wood-beamed ceiling, rough stone walls, and plush leather seating. A crackling fireplace adds to the ambiance, while a vintage coat rack and board games invite you to relax. The tiny two-seat bar, tucked away in a corner, promises a quiet moment to enjoy a glass of wine or whiskey. For those who need a larger screen, a Mac desktop stands ready.
This historic building, dating back to the 18th century, was once a hostel for boys attending the military school across the street. It has always served as a haven for travelers, transitioning into Hotel Duquesne in the 1990s. Since then, it has drawn a loyal following, attracting primarily couples, many returning guests, and business travelers. The hotel is especially popular in September when the city buzzes with conferences.
The majority of guests are American, followed by English, Australian, and European travelers. They often stay for a short and sweet getaway, usually two or three nights.
A Prime Parisian Location
Just a short walk from the iconic Eiffel Tower, Hotel Duquesne Eiffel puts you in the heart of the Left Bank. Explore nearby landmarks like the Musee d’Orsay and Les Invalides. While the neighborhood may not offer a vibrant nightlife, it’s home to a selection of restaurants and grocery stores.
Getting around Paris is a breeze. The hotel is conveniently located near taxi stands and metro stations, making it easy to reach other parts of the city. For airport transfers, the hotel can arrange shuttles or private drivers.
Paris, one of Europe’s most densely populated cities, is also a global hub for business and culture. Known as “The City of Lights,” it boasts luxurious fashion houses, world-renowned museums, iconic structures, and major media and business outlets.
Parisian Comfort and Style
Hotel Duquesne Eiffel offers 40 traditionally decorated rooms in five categories. The smallest option is the Standard room, measuring 130 square feet.
For a little more space, upgrade to a Superior room, offering 172 square feet. Some Superior rooms feature balconies with stunning views of the Eiffel Tower. Two corner Superior rooms also offer views of the tower, although trees might obstruct the view.
For the best view, book a Premium room, especially room 55. While the hotel can guarantee a specific category, it cannot guarantee a specific room.
Comfort rooms, similar in size to the Standards, offer the addition of a bathtub.
The largest option is the Superior Triple, spanning 215 square feet. This spacious room features a queen bed and a twin bed.
While the hotel doesn’t offer wheelchair-accessible or family rooms, interconnecting units can be booked.
No matter which room type you choose, all come equipped with the same amenities. Triple-glazed windows ensure a peaceful night’s sleep, and minibars and flat-screen TVs with a wide selection of channels keep you entertained. Enjoy complimentary bottled water on your first day and free coffee and tea throughout your stay.
Safes are available for your valuables, and the front desk can securely store larger items, such as laptops. One of the most helpful amenities is the free Handy phone, providing free data and international calls as you explore Paris.
Each room features either a double bed or two twin beds (or a queen bed and a twin bed in the Triples), all with built-in bedside lamps. Remember that the room key is needed to activate the electricity.
Standard rooms have showers, but some room types, including Premiums and Triples, offer bathtubs. The hotel can provide a small step for toddlers or portable tubs for families staying in rooms with only showers.
Some Superior and Premium rooms have separate toilet rooms. Each room comes with a set of hotel-branded toiletries. Enjoy free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
