I really don't know for sure, but I thought it was the Regina on place des Pyramides. The Eiffel Tower stuff was faked.

Faked, according to this website:
http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache...otel&hl=en

&quot; Deliberate &quot;mistake&quot;: When Harry is seen stepping outside of his hotel. . . behind him is the familiar Eiffel Tower . . .Frequent traveller to the City of Light and resident alike may instantly recognize this hotel as <b>the Regina</b>, where many a movie has been shot on location . . .Situated right across the street from the Louvre Museum and the Garden of the Tuileries, the <b>Eiffel Tower simply cannot be spotted</b> at all from the viewpoint depicted in the movie, let alone with such close proximity. . . .The image is only a digital add-in to perhaps enhance the fact that Harry is indeed in Paris.&quot;

Gee, I didn't know the Eiffel Tower was across from the Louvre! Just goes to show what a dangling modifier can do to the meaning of a sentence.
