Paris is one of those cities we never tire of returning to, but there is something particularly magical about waking up to a view of the Eiffel Tower. On our latest summer visit, we stayed at Canopy by Hilton Paris Eiffel Tower, a contemporary hotel tucked away in the 16th arrondissement, moments from Trocadéro and perfectly placed for exploring the city as a family.
We stayed in a spacious suite with a connecting room, giving the four of us plenty of space while still keeping everyone together. The location became one of our favourite parts of the stay. Mornings could begin with views towards the Eiffel Tower before wandering through Trocadéro Gardens and down towards Champ de Mars, while cafés, shopping and some of Paris’ most iconic neighbourhoods were within easy reach. Trocadéro Metro is also nearby, making journeys further across the city incredibly straightforward.
Breakfast each morning was at L’Esprit Nouveau, the hotel’s French restaurant, with an extensive buffet that made for an easy start before long days exploring Paris. Service throughout our stay was wonderful, warm and attentive, and the hotel felt genuinely comfortable for families rather than simply accommodating them.
The highlight, however, has to be Eylau Paris, the hotel’s rooftop bar. We headed upstairs around sunset for cocktails and dinner, watching the sky change colour behind the Eiffel Tower. The rooftop has one of those quintessential Paris views that makes you want to stay for just one more drink, and seeing the tower begin to sparkle after dark was unforgettable.
For us, Canopy by Hilton Paris Eiffel Tower combined the ease of a family-friendly Hilton stay with a location that constantly reminded us exactly where we were. Waking up near the Eiffel Tower, strolling through Champ de Mars and ending the day with sunset cocktails overlooking Paris made it a memorable base for our summer in the city.
