As the region continues to sizzle in the heat of summer, many travellers are heading to Europe to enjoy some of the most culturally rich cities on offer such as Paris, Düsseldorf and London.

Kapil Aggarwal Director of Sales & Marketing Hyatt International - South West Asia, said: “Europe provides the perfect get-away for Middle Eastern visitors wishing to enjoy a short city break or a more extended tour of the continent during the summer break. Europe offers a combination of culture, heritage and natural beauty."

Germany’s Düsseldorf, the capital city and business centre of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a metropolis nestled on the River Rhine. A thriving cosmopolitan city with more than 800 years of eventful history, Düsseldorf boasts over 18 museums, 100 major art galleries, the German Opera House, the famous “Schauspielhaus” theatre and exquisite shopping destinations, all complemented by hundreds upon hundreds of cafes, restaurants and bars with a vivacious nightlife.

The Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf, which opened at the end of 2010 and is just 20 minutes from the international airport, is an ideal place to stay while travelling through the unique city. Overlooking the lights of the Media Harbour, Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf offers 303 luxury rooms and suites in one of two towers connected to the harbour by way of a graceful pedestrian bridge, allowing guests unique views of the Old Town and the River Rhine.

While visiting the historic city, weary travellers can relax in the hotel’s Rive Spa, which features five private spa treatment rooms, a large whirlpool area, wet and dry saunas and a private outdoor relaxation area with a jogging path.

For travellers from the region looking for a romantic escape during the hot summer months, Paris is the city of choice for couples. France’s capital, and the largest city in the country, Paris, is known for being the centre of fashion, creativity and romance. With an impressive 140 museums, including the world-renowned Louvre and Musée d’Orsay, and an incredible array of local Parisian and French fare, there is much to see and do in the heart of France. As well as being the home of some of the finest and most luxurious fashion and cosmetic houses including Chanel, Christian Dior and Lancôme, it has some of the world’s most popular tourist attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Notre-Dame Cathedral, making it easy to see why Paris is known as one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

A unique stay at one of Paris’ top hotels, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, is sure to complement a trip to the cosmopolitan city. Located near the Louvre and the Musee d’Orsay, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme offers guests the chance to indulge in luxury accommodation in a vibrant city famous for being one of the most romantic destinations in the world.

In an announcement made by the French Government, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome was recently awarded a five-star classification of the highest distinction and named one of eight official palace hotels in France.

Situated on the prestigious Rue de la Paix in the heart of Paris, the 5-star hotel offers an enticing rich mahogany décor and its exclusive retreat, ‘Le Spa’, eases guests into their stay with its three treatment rooms and wide range of essential oils. Visitors will also be tempted by the Michelin Star restaurant ‘Pur’, offering an open kitchen and authentic grills served up in a theatre of unusual tastes, set within a cozy atmosphere.

The bustling and multi-cultural capital of the UK, London, has established itself as a favourite travel destination for holiday-makers from the Middle East. London boasts more than 40,000 shops and markets, ideal for those wishing to stock up on the latest summer trends, while the green parks and public gardens provide an ideal retreat for visitors wishing to unwind.
