Stayed at that ^ HGI in Rome and loved the neighborhood feel and being away from all the tourist traps in the city. Cute neighborhood restaurants. Am a walker and walked into the city every day.

In the opposite approach, splurged a sh'ton of points at the Hilton Paris Opera. Also a great experience.

Westin or Eden in Rome is awesome, Renaissance Republique in Paris or Trianon Palace in Versailles

I did the Hilton garden inn Claridge in Rome a couple of years ago. Good hotel with a sauna and good buffet breakfast. North of the Spanish steps by a bit in more of a regular neighborhood but on a tram line. Loved it! Recently stayed at the renaissance republic in Paris. Room was amazing, good breakfast but horrible service and bad housekeeping. Great location though.

Thanks!

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?
