Where to Stay in Paris

Facing the military school

Hôtel La Comtesse is at 29 avenue de Tourville, in the 7th arrondissement, facing the École Militaire, the historic military academy. The hotel is in the École-Militaire district of the 7th, 150 metres from the metro. Atout France, the French rating body, classified it four stars on 22 September 2021 and counts 40 rooms, described as rooms or suites. It is an independent hotel.

Rooms and services

The hotel says it occupies a V-shaped Haussmann building in which every room sees the Eiffel Tower, directly or at an angle; its Comtesse Eiffel Tower categories give a frontal view, some with a balcony. The decoration, it adds, draws on the literary salons that 18th-century women hosted. Facilities include the café on the ground floor, a wellness area with a hammam and fitness equipment (7 am to 11 pm, by reservation), air conditioning in the Comtesse rooms and a triple room called the Duchesse. Pets are not accepted. Accessibility was not reread.

Metro and the sights

École Militaire (line 8) is two minutes away; La Tour-Maubourg (line 8) is eight and Saint-François-Xavier (line 13) ten. Rue Cler, our reference point for the area, is 380 m from the hotel. From there the Eiffel Tower is a direct walk of 1,125 m, 14 minutes, not a metro ride; the Louvre pyramid is 20.5 minutes by metro (lines 8 and 1) and Notre-Dame 26 (lines 8, 14 and 4). Orly takes about 46.5 minutes and Charles de Gaulle terminal 1 about 60: the area has neither RER B nor line 14, so no direct line serves either airport.

Compared with the 7th’s other hotels

This list holds nine hotels for the Eiffel Tower area. La Comtesse (40 rooms) is the largest of the three four-stars, ahead of Hôtel Gustave (32) and Hôtel Thoumieux (15, with a restaurant). The five-stars The One Alma and Le Narcisse Blanc both list pools, and SAX Paris has 118 rooms. At the budget end, Grand Hôtel Lévêque, Hôtel de l’Empereur and Dupleix Hôtel are rated two or three stars. La Comtesse is the only one of the three four-stars whose record lists a hammam.
