We are looking for lodging with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Lodging for two couples - no futon or sofa beds please. We would like two separate bedrooms. Open to hotel, b&b, apt, etc... Any advice?
Try the Shangri-La Hotel Paris. I have attached the link below. This is a 5 star hotel and the rates for an Eiffel Tower view will be very expensive, fyi. Bon voyage!
We recently stayed at the Hotel Relais Bosquet and had a nice bedroom view of the upper half of the Eiffel Tower. We could lay in bed and watch the light show at night. Room 44. Excellent Hotel.
We stayed at the Hotel Duquesne and we were able to see the Eiffel Tower from our hotel room balcony.

It was about a 15 minute walk away. I would strongly suggest you get either Room 55 (it has a large wrap around balcony) or Room 56 which has a view that's almost as good. Also, if you're trying to save, get Room 45 which is directly below Room 55 with a comparable view but just a French balcony. It was a great hotel!
The Splendid Tour Eiffel on Avenue de Tourville has rooms with views of the tower. We had a room with a direct view and every night got the light show before we went to bed. It's convenient to the tower, Champ de Mars, and the Rue Cler area, and is very close to the Ecole Militaire Metro station.
When we stayed at Hotel St Pierre near Boul Mich we found that if we leaned over the balcony and looked to the right --surprise!! -- we had a view of the Eiffel Tower. Watched it sparkle at night. Not a full-on view, but for our budget it was a bonus.
We stayed at Hotel Muguet, near Rue Cler. We had an upper room with great view of the Eiffel Tower. Great light show from our room. Hotel is recommended on RS Paris book, reasonable rate, clean, friendly staff.
if you are set on a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower, I hope you find it. if you cannot find those accommodations, know that most of the time you will probably be out of your hotel room and may be able to see the Eiffel Tower more frequently as you walk around Paris.
For an apt, I just Googled "vrbo view of Eiffel tower" and a number of options came up. Good luck.
