Top 10 most expensive cities for hotel stopovers
The Telegraph in the UK has released its annual list of the world’s most expensive cities for hotel stays. Here they are:
No.1 Moscow
For the seventh year running, Moscow tops the list when it comes to the cost of a hotel room. A night in the Russian capital will set business travellers back an average of US$420, about US$54 more expensive than its closest rival city.
No.2 Geneva
A night in the lakeside tourist capital will cost an average of US$366, up 13 percent on last year’s figures.
No.3 Zurich
The average cost of a room is US$354. Of the Top 10 cities, Zurich has experienced the second highest increase in its hotel prices, up 17 percent on last year’s prices.
No.4 Paris
Up five percent on last year’s figures, the average cost of a hotel room rate in Paris has risen to US$334 per night.
No.5 Stockholm
A stop over in Stockholm will set business travellers back an average of US$325 for the night.
No.6 Washington
Hotels in America’s Washington came in at sixth most expensive for business travellers, costing an average of US$320 per night.
No.7 Sydney
Sydney saw a room rate price rise of 16 percent on last year’s figures. The average cost per night for a hotel room in Australia’s largest city comes in at US$317.
No. 8 Istanbul
Istanbul achieved the highest increase in hotel rate – of 37 per cent – due to the growing interest surrounding the city as a business destination.
No.9 New York
Prices for a New York hotel room didn’t change year on year, so business travellers should still expect to pay an average of US$312 per night in the Big Apple.
No.10 Oslo
A hotel room in Oslo also costs an average of US$312 per night, up 11 percent on last year’s prices.
