I have about a thousand hotel nights in Paris and I have to disagree about the views, but I do agree that I personally prefer an inner courtyard room for the peace. Lots of hotels have great Eiffel Tower views from their top floor rooms. Some even from a level below the top, such as the IC which is very close to this Hilton. And then there is the Pullman Montparnasse which is the only high rise hotel in central Paris. It used to be a LM and a Sheraton before that, thus I have a lot of nights there. Great views.
