4. SO/Paris

Another new hotel with views of the Eiffel Tower, is SO/Paris, a gleaming glass box on the Seine, on Rue Agrippa d’Aubigné, in the 4th arrondissement. This 162-room hotel, which opened last year, is from the group behind The Hoxton and Mondrian and dubs itself as “an iconic headquarters for Parisians and travellers looking to join the front row.” It boasts bold, uber-cool interiors, a show-stopping rooftop bar, with absolutely fabulous views of the city, as well as 15th-floor restaurant Bonnie, with glass ceilings to amplify the view and a nightclub for those who want to be seen on the Seine.
