France Eiffel Hotel

Quiet hotel with Oriental charm close to the Eiffel Tower

Amid embassies and offices, this Left Bank hotel is 3 blocks from the Seine and a 10-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower.

A geometric theme runs through the hotel's 37 rooms; striking triangular abstractions adorn headboards, drapes, and bedding.

Potted geraniums line a secluded, sunny courtyard, while the chinoiserie-decorated lounge has an air of colonial Shanghai.
