Best Rooftop Bars In Paris 2025

La Terraza

Pay a visit to the Terrass Hotel in the Montmartre neighbourhood and you’ll be transported to the warm shores of Cuba. Afro-Caribbean and Latin tunes float through the air as a live artist strums his guitar and servers pass around plates of sea bream ceviche and fish tacos. Cocktails are infused with tropical flavours like banana flambeée syrup, crème de cacao, and lychee. Going with a group? Reserve the Terraza’s casita for a private Cuban alcove that’s all yours for the evening.

Le Tout-Paris

It doesn’t get any more chic than an LVMH-owned hotel, and chic is exactly what you’ll get at riverside hotspot Cheval Blanc Paris. In the summer, its outdoor terrace Le Jardin provides sun-trapped splendour with some Eiffel Tower views to boot, but guests looking to come earlier in the year will find Michelin magic at Le Tout-Paris, the one-starred restaurant perched on the seventh floor. Come for the impeccable brasserie fare or simply pop in for a drink, taking in the skyline from the city’s only hotel directly on the Seine.

Le Perchoir Ménilmontant

If you’re looking for a party in the clouds, Le Perchoir is the place to be. With a tantalising line-up of DJs and mixologists, you’ll be vibing to the beat seven storeys above an industrial building in the 20th arrondissement. Help yourself to one of the creatively-named cocktails like the mezcal-forward Frida Kahlor, or if going teetotal, the Pomelo Anderson will be a refreshing treat.

The Rooftop Bar at Hôtel Dame des Arts

Reopening for the season in April 2025

The Left Bank has attracted artists and intellectuals for centuries, drawing bohemians to its pulsating neighbourhoods where the likes of Picasso, Hemingway, and Matisse were known to frolic. Situated in the vibrant Latin Quarter, Hôtel Dame des Arts, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, embodies the creative, magnetic energy the area is known for. Whether you’re taking a seat at the wraparound bar or prefer to relax amidst the foliage, the hotel’s rooftop bar, with panoramic views of the city, is arguably one of the best sky-high spots in the capital.

The Peninsula Paris

A favourite of the fashion set, one of the city’s most luxurious addresses is home to not one but two rooftop sanctuaries, depending when in the year you visit. Now that the weather is a bit chillier, cosy up on the private rooftop terrace from inside igloo-type domes, launched in partnership with furniture design house Roche Bobois. Whether it’s a romantic dinner at the hotel’s ‘Secret Table’, afternoon tea on the private terrace of the Eiffel Suite, or a sweet escape in a Tartine et Chocolat-decorated dome in the Rooftop Garden suite, the breath-taking views will not disappoint. In the summertime, traipse over to Le Jardin, where sunseekers are welcomed with Mediterranean-influenced dishes and a floral cocktail menu.

TOO TacTac Skybar

Sushi in the sky, anyone? Take a seat at the TOO TacTac Skybar set on the 27th floor of the TOO Hotel inside a futuristic glass cube – towering at 120 metres, it holds the title of being the highest rooftop bar in the city. With an indoor dancefloor, outdoor terrace, karaoke nights and DJ sets, TacTac attracts both the late night crowds and the ladies who brunch. Floor-to-ceiling windows give you unparalleled views of the whole city, whether bathed in sepia sunlight or under twinkling stars at this all-day venue.
