Eiffel Tower Views

Hey everyone!

I'm tryin to plan a romantic anniversary for my boyfriend and I in Paris. I'm trying to find a great hotel with a view of the eiffel tower from our room. Preferably a balcony and a spa type tub. I know its asking a lot but I don't mind paying for it. Any suggestions. I've been able to find hotels like Hotel splendid with the view and balcony but not the bathroom. I know there's the Hilton, but if we're gonna do Paris I want to do it right, not the Americanized version. What do you guys suggest.

You'll pay for it, but the Athenee is a great location.

Actually, to me - "A spa type tub and I want to do it right, not the Americanized version" is exactly the Americanized version. Real Parisians don't have spa type tubs in their homes.

I think the OP means they'd rather not stay at an American chain hotel in Paris.

It is simply romantic to have a spa bath with champagne and chocolates and I am not remotely American. I am very British.

Why would you want a spa when you have a bidet - now that's cosy
