Dataset of the Day: Hotels in Paris

So, you’re planning a trip to Paris. GeoCommons can help. We have a point dataset of over 2,000 hotels in the beautiful city. So now, you can choose you hotel based on its location!

Maybe you want to choose your hotel based on the locations of tourist attractions. GeoCommons can help with that too. We have a dataset of tourist attractions in and near Paris with 59 museums, palaces and other interesting things to visit on your trip.

Looking at the datasets in Maker!, you can easily find the best location for a hotel and then actually find out what hotels are in that area. It’s even better when you choose one of Makers! cool basemaps that show metro stations, such as the Microsoft Roads option shown in the map below.

OK. So you’ve decided that you want to find a hotel that will have a view of the Eiffel Tower. You also want a hotel near a metro station, not totally surrounded by other hotels, and perhaps near the Seine as well.

Taking a closer look at the area, you might choose the Hotel Sezz. It seems to have a nice view of the Eiffel Tower from across the water, it is down the street from a metro, it is in an area with few hotels, and it is also near the Jardins du Trocadero.

You can use the hotels and tourist attractions datasets in Maker! to plan your trip to Paris. Also, check out the other travel datasets we have in Finder! such as our Loudoun County VA Tourism datasets, our Pamplona, Spain datasets, National Parks in Washington State, Marriott Hotels in the US, and even a dataset on Harley-Davidson Dealer Locations in case you’re planning a bike trip across the country.

You can also create your own custom datasets, upload them to Finder! and then use Maker! to plan your trip. Bon Voyage!
