My name is Andrea Jordan and I'm a sophomore at Temple University. I'm a double major in Magazine Journalism and Public Relations. I am originally from Columbus, Ohio, but I love to travel. My previous internship experience includes two parenting magazines, Columbus Parent and MetroKids. After graduation, I hope to pursue a career in the journalism world and live in a big city. In my free time I like to play sports, hang out with friends, and browse through chictopia.com, my new obsession. Although I haven't always been interested in fashion, as I've gotten older, I'm beginning to find my niche. I would say my personal style is Boho-chic with a California flare. My style icon is Lauren Conrad. I am so excited to start my summer internship with Deacon Does DC and I can't wait to see what this summer has in store for me!

The Imperial Suite houses two separate bedrooms and one living room with sumptuous blue décor, a gorgeous painted ceiling, and a full view of the Opéra Garnier. The Honeymoon Suite, a romantic, sleek space with nearly all-white décor, houses one bedroom and one living room, and offers an exceptional view of the Opera House – guests can even see dancers training from the Opera window.
