Which room to book at Shangri-La Paris
The Eiffel View Room. At 45 m² it is the first category the hotel sells on a direct view of the tower, seen at an angle through tall French windows, and on a February Tuesday it costs the same €3,007 as the Junior Suite Paris View, which sees only part of it. Everything cheaper looks at a courtyard, a glass cupola, the garden or the avenues. Ask for a high floor: from the lower floors the tower rises from about the first platform.

Why this one
The bottom of this ladder is about which window you get, not how much room. The five cheapest categories, the 36 m² Superior, the 40 m² Deluxe, the 45 m² Terrace Room, the 55 m² Junior Suite and the 60 m² Deluxe Suite, look at the courtyard, the glass cupola, the garden, the avenues or Rue Fresnel, and on 23 February 2027 they ran from €1,732 to €2,922. The Eiffel View Room is the next step, at €3,007, and it is the first category sold on a direct view of the tower, 600 metres to the south across the Seine. The tower sits at an angle to the French windows rather than straight ahead, and from the lower floors it rises from about the first platform, above the roofs of Avenue de New York and the riverside trees, which is why the floor matters as much as the category.
Above it the names need reading carefully. The Junior Suite Paris View costs the same that night and the Terrace Suite with Paris View €4,452, and both are sold on the garden with only part of the tower. The Terrace Eiffel View Room, 55 m² at €4,032, adds a furnished terrace at the same angle. The tower down to its arches belongs to the upper-floor terraces, starting with the Duplex Terrace Eiffel View Suite at €6,932, and only La Suite Shangri-La, on the top floor, is sold as unobstructed. For most stays the Eiffel View Room, high up, is where the price first buys the reason to come.
- Ask for
- Ask for the highest floor available, since the roofs along Avenue de New York and the riverside trees hide more of the tower the lower you are, and confirm the Eiffel View Room category when you book. Twin beds are available on request. If you want breakfast outside with the tower in view, the Terrace Eiffel View Room adds a furnished private terrace at 55 m², with a king bed only.
- Avoid
- The Superior Room if the view matters at all, and the Junior Suite Paris View and Terrace Suite with Paris View if the tower is the point: both look over the garden with only a partial view of it. Do not take the Terrace Room for the view either; its terrace looks over the garden or the avenues.
Suites against rooms
Two suites are worth singling out. The Duplex Eiffel View Suite, 80 m² over two levels with two-storey windows on the tower and a one-way Mercedes S-Class transfer, was €4,962 on the February night, under €2,000 more than the Eiffel View Room, and it is the suite to take if you want the view and a living room. If the whole tower is the reason for the trip, La Suite Shangri-La on the top floor is the one the hotel sells as unobstructed, with a 100 m² terrace that runs from the tower to the Grand Palais and Sacré-Coeur.
L'Appartement Prince Bonaparte is the other kind of suite: 315 m² of the prince's own listed apartments on the second floor, with 5-metre ceilings and balconies over Avenue d'Iéna and the Musée Guimet, and no tower at all.
Questions people ask
Good questions about Shangri-La Paris
Which room should I book at Shangri-La Paris?
The Eiffel View Room. At 45 m² it is the first category the hotel sells on a direct view of the tower, seen at an angle through tall French windows, and on a February Tuesday it costs the same €3,007 as the Junior Suite Paris View, which sees only part of it. Everything cheaper looks at a courtyard, a glass cupola, the garden or the avenues. Ask for a high floor: from the lower floors the tower rises from about the first platform.
Which rooms should I avoid at Shangri-La Paris?
The Superior Room if the view matters at all, and the Junior Suite Paris View and Terrace Suite with Paris View if the tower is the point: both look over the garden with only a partial view of it. Do not take the Terrace Room for the view either; its terrace looks over the garden or the avenues.
Our verdict
Book Shangri-La Paris for the Eiffel Tower in the window of a prince's house, and pay for a room named Eiffel, as high up as you can, to get it. Without the view, you are paying palace rates for a courtyard or garden outlook.
