About the Lounge
In 2013, the Eiffel opened the theatre-like Gustave Eiffel Lounge room for people to host their private events inside the Tower.
The room overlooks the city, offering a stunning view of Paris from its massive glass windows, 57 meters above ground level.
The interiors of the Lounge are modern, as compared to the rustic vibe of the Eiffel, but you can also see the distinctive architectural elements of the Eiffel peeking through!
The architects added crisscrossed lines to the windows of the Lounge to copy the latticed look of the Tower’s structure.
From one side, you can see the city splayed out at the base, while the other side of the room offers a close-up view of the iron structure of the Tower.
The room is made of glass and steel and connects to a smaller office, cloakroom, dressing room, and control room.
At one end of the room is a big stage, used by the host or performers during concerts and meetings.
The other end of the room has a theatre-like seating arrangement facing the stage, and you can see the people on the stage from all around the room!
It is a perfect concert space since modern lighting and sound equipment with a massive LED screen are added to ensure the best experience.
You can also hire technicians, ticketing security, and security guards to help you ensure no one unknown enters your private party.
The Lounge is also perfect for cocktail parties, dinner gatherings, and company meetings!
