Hotel in Paris for Christmas and the Holiday Season: Stay Near the Eiffel Tower
Every winter, Paris transforms into a literal City of Light. Facades shimmer, shop windows come alive, Christmas markets fill the air with mulled wine, and the boulevards glow all the way to New Year’s Eve.
To fully experience this magical atmosphere, choose a warm and authentic hotel, human-sized and located just steps from the Eiffel Tower: the Nouvel Hôtel Eiffel, in the 15th arrondissement.
Renovated in 2025 and run by the same team for more than 20 years, this independent establishment is much more than a place to stay: it is a Parisian cocoon where guests feel genuinely welcomed, even in the heart of winter.
Why Spending the Holidays in Paris Is a Great Idea
A Magical City Throughout December
From late November to early January, Paris celebrates Christmas.
The Champs-Élysées are covered in lights, Place Vendôme glows brightly, the Jardin des Plantes hosts its luminous festival, and the animated windows of Printemps and Galeries Lafayette amaze visitors of all ages.
For Couples: Guaranteed Romance
A stroll along the Seine, a dinner by the light of the Eiffel Tower, a sparkling evening cruise…
In December, Paris becomes more intimate and poetic – the perfect setting for a romantic getaway.
For Families: Guaranteed Wonder
Carousels, Christmas markets, children’s shows, and pop-up ice rinks make the capital an ideal destination for school holidays.
The Champ-de-Mars Christmas Market, a 25-minute walk from the hotel, is one of the most beautiful and family-friendly in Paris.
Team Tip: In December, temperatures range between 4°C and 8°C. Bring a warm coat, a cozy scarf, and comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestones. A small foldable umbrella is also useful—the weather changes quickly in Paris! And if the cold sets in, the cafés nearby (rue de Vaugirard, boulevard Pasteur) are perfect for a warm break over hot chocolate or tea.
Choosing the Right Neighborhood for the Holiday Season
City Center or Outer Districts: Finding the Right Balance
The 1st to 7th arrondissements offer the enchantment of the major boulevards but can be noisy and expensive.
The 15th arrondissement, meanwhile, combines residential calm with immediate access to key attractions: the Eiffel Tower, the Seine riverbanks, Montparnasse, and Porte de Versailles.

What to Do in Paris During Christmas?

Start with a stroll through the Champ-de-Mars Christmas Market, just ten minutes away, then embark on a Seine river cruise to admire the city lights reflected in the water.
Don’t miss the enchanted department-store windows (direct metro access), nor the Festival of Lights at the Jardin des Plantes—a wonder for all ages. Ice-skating fans will love the temporary rink at the Grand Palais Éphémère, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
For an original Christmas, try a dinner cruise, a winter rooftop with panoramic views, or a nighttime walk along the riverbanks to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle.
