Fodor's Expert Review Renaissance Paris Nobel Tour Eiffel Hotel

Set in an upscale neighborhood, this spacious, historic urban retreat—now part of the Marriott brand—was once the home of Alfred Nobel (who would go on to establish the famous peace prize). The contemporary room decor is nothing out of the ordinary, but the large beds with plush comforters are a plus. Just a short stroll from bustling Place du Trocadéro (overlooking the Eiffel Tower), the hotel is in a quieter residential district. A leafy courtyard lends a tranquil country-hideaway feeling.
