Considered an eyesore by Parisians when first built for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, Gustave Eiffel’s iron tower is now the ultimate emblem for the French capital. With its elegant latticework and twinkling lights, it still has the power to take the breath of even the most cynical of visitors. If you opt to stay in one of the 7th arrondissement’s hotels closest to the Eiffel Tower, you will also find elegant architecture, grand monuments and artistic addresses, such as the Rodin Museum. The Tower can also be accessed from Trocadéro and the museums of Chaillot hill, simply by crossing the Seine.
