The Eiffel Trocadero Hotel, located opposite Trocadero Gardens, a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, is an 18th-century structure that has been redesigned into a funky mix of contemporary design. Its 19 rooms combine modern furniture with traditional French design. Hotel rooms include a mini bar, coffee maker and free wi-fi. The bathrooms have refined marble tiles and most have whirlpools. The onsite restaurant serves Asian French dishes. There is also an elegant meeting room.

Housed in an 18th-century triangular building, the Trocadero Eiffel has a distinct style. Its compact lobby is a melange of influences from the old world like a wooden desk painted in grey-silver and spatial spaces hang from the ceiling.

The restaurant features a black and white, neoclassical chairs on shiny black tables and a ceiling dotted with lights.
The Eiffel Tower Trocadero Hotel is within walking distance to many of the city's sights - it is just a 13-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. The Jardins du Trocadero, a 23-hectare sculpted landscape created in 1878 for the Paris World Fair, is a 3-minute walk away. The gardens house the Palais de Chaillot (four minutes on foot), which houses the Musee National de la Marine and the Musee National des Monuments Francais.
