About the Paris House

 
editor's letter page from The Paris House magazine, written by Michele Rosenthal, featuring lifestyle, travel, and cultural highlights from the Adirondacks to Paris and Cancún
 

Editor’s Letter

I begin writing the editor's letter in the Adirondack Mountains on a sunny day surrounded by mountains that meet the shimmering lake water seamlessly. At the same time, boats sail by with a wave in our direction with that relaxed summer feeling and nostalgia. I grew up in this beautiful part of the world, and it is a peaceful place to write. Although this issue is not about upstate New York, we do have a fantastic movie and articles on the Adirondacks and surrounding areas on our website.

In this magazine, we highlight travel to Cancún, Mexico, and its surrounding areas, particularly Isla Mujeres. There is also a shopping excursion in Giverny, France, at a designer outlet, the Louvre Couture exhibit, and our insider's tips on how to secure the very hard-to-get ticket and more in Paris.

From a unique spin on the classic Mille Feuille recipe to a mesmerizing flower video, this issue is packed with diverse and captivating content that will surely pique your interest.

About Hyatt Hotels Zilara and Ziva in Cancun Mexico
 

Hyatt

Hyatt Hotels recently extended a special invitation to me to experience two of their exclusive properties, the Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya and the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Maya. (please note that these are different resorts than the ones located in Cancun) These resorts, nestled on pristine stretches of white-sand beaches on the Caribbean Sea, offer a level of luxury and service that is truly unparalleled.  Our rooms, complete with round-the-clock butler service, private pools, and breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, were a testament to this exclusivity.

About Hyatt Zilara and Hyatt Ziva family vacation
 

Both resorts, the Hyatt Zilara and the Hyatt Ziva, are all-inclusive. The Ziva, in particular, is designed with families in mind. For those traveling with children, there is a wealth of activities to keep them entertained and happy. From a kid's water zone to child-friendly menus and a variety of crafts and fun, the Ziva ensures that every member of the family has a memorable and enjoyable stay.

review of Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya
 

My husband and I were particularly enamored with the Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya. The service was not only excellent but also personal, making us feel genuinely cared for. The food, incredibly fresh and delicious, catered to adults, offering fantastic evening entertainment, a gorgeous spa, a wedding venue, outstanding cocktails, and fine dining. It was a testament to the Hyatt's commitment to providing a truly memorable and personalized experience.
