COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF


The family operated Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris is a little more than five minute walk to Charonne area that is packed with Michelin starred and local restaurants plus plenty of bars and quaint cafes.

The neighborhood is safe, quiet and filled with locals.

You will feel like a Parisian.

Saime Voltaire Boulangerie, Au petit Panisse, and Boucherie John Gillot were excellent local foodie places very close to the hotel.

HÔTEL DU PRINCE EUGÈNE PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT

COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF


My bed at Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris was large and comfy.

There is a small elevator.

The bathroom was large, modern and the shower had endless warm water.

There were nightstands on each side with plugs for my white noise machine and charging phone.

A small desk with coffee maker was space enough for morning pastries and a final day lunch in my room.

HÔTEL DU PRINCE EUGÈNE PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT

COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF


Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris is incredible.

My room was so quiet.

I got a 6th floor room -- the top floor -- despite a discount booking.

It is a typical Haussmann building with garret style apartment with gabled wall and tilt out window.

The views over the Pairs rooftops were dreamlike.

IF YOU ADVERTISE YOUR ATTRACTION AS “FULLY WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE”

YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO MAJOR PARTS OF YOUR EXHIBIT ACCESSIBLE ONLY VIA STAIRS. WHAT GIVES, SUPERBLUE?


Dear Superblue Miami.

I visited your immersive art experience.

In return for nearly $40 per ticket, please improve wayfinding.

The continuation of the exhibit (virtual spray painting) is upstairs.

No signage to wheelchair accessible entrance.

Quoting your website: "Superblue Miami (1101 NW 23rd St) is fully wheelchair accessible.

All exhibition areas, pathways and surfaces are navigable by wheelchair.

But only stairs (we asked) lead to 2nd level of Es Devlin Forest of Us.

DIVERSITY IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IS UNDER ATTACK — BUT THESE EXPERTS SAY IT’S MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER

MINORITY-OWNED PLANNING FIRMS ARE AS ESSENTIAL AS THEY EVER WERE, THESE FOUR TOP EXPERTS ARGUE — NO MATTER WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS


“Our approach is, ‘how do you help people take back their power?’” said Cecilia V. Estolano, who leads the Los Angeles-based Estolano Advisors. 

“How do you help communities to become places where they can actualize all their abilities? Diversity as a perspective makes our profession better.” 

When it comes to sustainability, Estolano emphasized that firms owned by people of color can frame issues of climate justice, pollution, the clean energy transition, and water quality in terms that reflect the direct experience of the communities that have been most impacted.

“We had our neighborhoods bulldozed to build freeways that caused more air pollution that seared our lungs,” she added. 

“We understand what it means to live within the evacuation zone of an oil refinery and can appreciate what clean cars and renewable energy can mean for our kids and their kids.”

DIVERSITY IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IS UNDER ATTACK — BUT THESE EXPERTS SAY IT’S MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER

MINORITY-OWNED PLANNING FIRMS ARE AS ESSENTIAL AS THEY EVER WERE, THESE FOUR TOP EXPERTS ARGUE — NO MATTER WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS


To generate incremental, sustainable development, Cecilia V. Estolano, who leads the Los Angeles-based Estolano Advisors, said cities often have to overcome cynicism and mistrust in working class communities of color — because those communities have been misled, disappointed and underestimated in past failed planning processes.

“We work closely with communities on changing the things that result from poor planning and poor policy,” she added. 

Estolano’s firm is currently leading the planning process for the future of a state-owned site in LA’s Crenshaw district that’s been shuttered for more than a decade. 

Served by light rail, it could be redeveloped with housing, job training and other community services.
