What it’s good at
Notable
An 1892 private mansion preserving an interior staircase crafted by Gustave Eiffel.
Listed
Welcoming international travelers to Avenue Kléber continuously since its 1920 opening.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Trocadéro sits just down the avenue, and crossing the Pont d'Iéna leads straight to the Champ de Mars.
The rooms
Selected Eiffel Suites open onto private balconies that look straight at the Eiffel Tower.
Restaurant
Lordy's Paris Club
Fluted rust banquettes and illuminated bookshelves surround tables serving fish and chips fried in Parisian beer batter.
At the table
Drinks are shaken at a horseshoe-shaped bar beneath brass lamps, and breakfast brings displays of fresh pastries each morning.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from Lord Baltimore, a British businessman who stayed regularly during his transatlantic travels in the 1920s.
