It's back! After being banished for a few years as an M-Gallery, the former Lord Baltimore hotel is again a Sofitel. I guess they stuck the "tour eiffel" label on it for tourists, but truly it's not a long walk to the famous tower.
They appear to have spent some money renovating too. Here's an article in French about it all.

This always was, and I'm sure will be again, by far my favorite Sofitel in Paris. Maybe the best in all of France.
