Rooms

The standard rooms start at a spacious 25 sqm. The true defining characteristic of rooms at the SO/ Paris is the view. The Paris rooftop view has expansive city views, whereas the Paris skyline view features the iconic Eiffel Tower and Seine River. There are also suite options for guests seeking more space.

Features and amenities

The onsite Bonnie restaurant, bar and club is popular among local Parisians and offers a trendy atmosphere with stellar views. Even with its popularity, the hotel successfully manages entry to ensure that the bustling space does not disturb guests. There is also a fitness center onsite and spa treatment room.

Need to know

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend SO/ Paris, especially for travelers seeking a trendy spot in a more local neighborhood. The views here are incredible, so if you’re looking for the iconic Eiffel Tower view, this is the spot for you.
