This hotel suite was the most incredible place I’ve ever stayed. It was bigger than my entire apartment, and offered the most breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower imaginable. I spent hours researching this particular suite, and let me tell you, if you’re looking for a room with an awe-inspiring view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, look no further. You won’t find a better one! This is my review of the Pullman Eiffel Suite, now known as the Penthouse Eiffel Suite, within the Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower Hotel.
(This section introduces the hotel suite and its exceptional view. It highlights the writer’s extensive research and expresses enthusiasm for the suite.)
A Luxurious Experience Comes at a Price
Let’s face it, a private view of the Eiffel Tower doesn’t come cheap. It was the most I’ve ever spent on a single night in a hotel. I’d normally expect to pay that much for a week-long stay! This suite is the only one of its kind in the entire hotel, so if you want it, you’ll need to book quickly, especially for popular dates. Let’s delve into what the Pullman Eiffel Suite offers for its hefty price tag.
(This section discusses the cost of the suite, its exclusivity, and transitions to a detailed description of the suite’s amenities.)
Spacious and Luxurious: A Suite to Remember
The suite boasts an incredible 110 square meters of space, which is half again as large as my flat in Scotland! The amount of space is simply mind-blowing, especially when you consider that the average UK hotel room is around 32 square meters.
As you step into the suite, you’ll be greeted by a well-stocked bar area on your right. The bar features a mini-fridge stocked with prosecco, wine, beer, water, and soft drinks. While only the water and soft drinks are complimentary, the other beverages are priced at a standard hotel rate. You’ll also find tea and coffee (Nespresso machine) available, along with an assortment of glasses and mugs.
Moving on, you’ll discover a comfortable seating area with a corner sofa, table, and a 46-inch flat-screen TV equipped with a Bose speaker system. The entire suite boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, ensuring that the light and spectacular view are always there for you to enjoy. After the seating area, you’ll find a grand marble dining table with four comfortable chairs, perfect for indulging in room service (more on that later). For those beautiful days, you can also dine on the spacious balcony that overlooks the Eiffel Tower. Just before you reach the bedroom, you’ll find a luxurious bathroom.

A Dreamy Bedroom with Stunning Views
Next up, you’ll discover the luxurious bedroom, which can be separated from the main suite with sliding doors. The bedroom boasts a king-size bed with some of the most comfortable pillows I’ve ever experienced. It’s generously sized, offering everything you’d expect, including a chaise longue and another 46-inch flat-screen TV. The bedroom also has double doors that lead out to the balcony, providing an uninterrupted view of the Eiffel Tower.
The large bathroom area is located on the other side of the bedroom. In the corner, you’ll find a double bathtub complete with a selection of C. O. Bigelow toiletries. The shower area features an amazing rainfall shower with a hand shower for added convenience. The main bathroom features two sinks with two large mirrors and a second toilet.

Luxury Amenities for an Extended Stay
For those lucky enough to spend an extended period in this luxurious suite, the Pullman Eiffel Suite offers ample storage space, including a walk-in wardrobe room. The suite also features a Bose dock with an iPad for playing music throughout the suite.

The Ultimate Highlight: Unforgettable Views of the Eiffel Tower
This Pullman Eiffel Suite review wouldn’t be complete without showcasing the unforgettable view. As I mentioned earlier, I extensively researched hotels to find the best Eiffel Tower view from a hotel room, and this suite was by far the best I found. Even the concierge service I receive through my American Express Platinum card couldn’t find anything better. The USP (Unique Selling Proposition) of this suite is definitely the spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower from the room.
The suite also boasts a continuous balcony, stretching from one side of the suite to the other, complete with a table and chairs. You can enjoy spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower while sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a romantic dinner under the Parisian sky.

A Parisian Experience Beyond Compare
The hotel is situated on the left bank of Paris, right next to the Eiffel Tower. It boasts a massive 430 rooms, with nine different types and three different suite types. The hotel also features the FRAME brasserie and a bar, providing additional options for dining and entertainment. Check-in starts at 2 pm, and we were able to request an early check-in, arriving around noon. Check-out is at 11 am, but we requested a noon check-out, and the hotel was incredibly accommodating.
(This section provides details about the hotel’s location, facilities, and check-in/check-out policies.)
Reaching the Eiffel Tower: Getting There is Easy
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, and you can reach it from Charles de Gaulle airport using a combination of the RER B and RER C services in just under an hour. The cost of this journey is around 11€ (£9 / $12) one way. An alternative option is taking Le Bus Direct on line 2. This takes roughly 60-70 minutes and will cost you 18€ (£15 / $20) one way, but you won’t have to change lines. You can also drive as paid parking is available at the hotel.

Dining in Style: Room Service Delights
With the suite’s breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower and the luxurious marble table, it would have been silly to go down to the brasserie, so we opted for room service. Starters ranged from 11€ (£9 / $12) for soup to 19€ (£16 / $21) for a chopped avocado salad with smoked salmon toast and a grain bowl.
Main courses started at 14€ (£12 / $16) for linguine to 37€ (£32 / $41) for a 300g seared strip steak. We both chose the steak, and it was absolutely delicious! The hotel staff brought it up, keeping it on a hot plate while setting the table, which was a nice touch. Other main course options included a spiced chicken dish and the fish of the day.
Desserts were around 12€ (£10 / $13) on average, with options such as chocolate fondant, cheese, and fruit salad. Some dishes across the three courses were available 24 hours a day, with healthy options clearly marked on the menu. The menu also included a TV Dinner option, offering a sharing platter with smoked salmon, roasted chicken, ham, cheese, salad, and tortillas for 29€ (£25 / $32).

An Unforgettable Parisian Escape: Would I Stay Again?
Without a doubt, I would stay here again. The price of the suite might be a deterrent for many, but for a special occasion, it was a dream come true. The suite is fantastic, and how many times will you have the chance to say you stayed in a room with an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower? If only I had the money to stay in places like this for all my trips!
