LONDON
This city bears no shortage of sights and events to stimulate, educate, and fascinate. Parks and gardens, such as Hyde Park and Serpentine Lake, showcase London's love affair with natural beauty and its long-lived desire to keep public greens for the benefit of all citizens. History buffs often find themselves swept up in London's bounty as well. Buckingham Palace, the royal residence, delivers a glimpse of aristocratic life, while the Tower of London titillates with its legacy of intrigue and its Crown Jewels exhibit. Plus, venerable Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral serve as time-tested counterpoints to newer sights like the London Eye and the Millennium Dome. And don't forget to cruise the Thames River or try a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tour to see such famous landmarks such as Big Ben clock tower, Trafalgar Square, and Marble Arch.

Hyatt Regency London The Churchill - Enjoy a four-night stay at this 5-star international first class business hotel nestled on the picturesque gardens of Portman Square, just meters north of Marble Arch.

Well-cushioned seating flanks no-nonsense desks, which feature data ports, broadband Internet access and dual-voltage outlets. Torchere and vase lamps cast fine light on cocktail tables and period furniture, and TVs perch on cabinets with mini-bars below. Mirrored closets, valanced windows, safes and high-quality fabrics are standard. The staff, with near military alertness, plays a large part in making this one of London's best chain links.

PARIS
Paris is an exciting city with an important cultural heritage, endless museums, art galleries, beautiful displays of architecture of different artistic movements, breathtaking sights and a pretty wild nightlife. The range and number of activities and things to do here is only limited by how good a time you want to have. 

Among all these activities are some that just can't be missed, such as visiting at least some of the hundreds of Parisian museums such as the Louvre, going on tours around the French capital and marveling at sights such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, the famous Eiffel Tower, or the slightly hair-raising experience of strolling through the Catacombes des Paris.  Going shopping in Paris means taking a walk around the Marais district, with its trendy boutiques. And if you're a sports fan, in Paris you can enjoy a game played by one of the city's professional teams or participate yourself by going along to one of the various sports centers where you can play your favorite sport.

Hyatt Regency Paris Madeleine - Enjoy a three-night stay at this 4-star property located three blocks northwest of the Church of the Madeleine. The hotel is clearly different from the usual run of American chain hotels and even offers an Asian flair to its design. Occupying a century-old town house with five floors, it manages to create a distinct atmosphere. This boutique property was designed with the high-end business and luxury traveler in mind and has got what it takes to be among the city's finest with an excellent location and elegant accommodations. North Americans, especially, will be pleased. Valid one year from event date subject to availability.
