Where does it cost less to get five-star luxury?
Pisa and Warsaw are the cheapest major cities in the world for five-star hotels, according to the latest stats from hotels.com.
A study of average room prices paid by UK travellers in the first six months of 2014 found luxury stays in both cities cost less than £100 a night.
Meanwhile, Berlin, Lisbon and Prague are among 23 cities where it’s possible to get a four-star hotel for under an average £100 or less per night.
Asian destinations featured in this category include travel hotspots Shanghai and Jakarta.
Meanwhile, a budget of £100 a night would only get travellers two-star accommodation in London, Boston, San Francisco, Miami, Venice and Vancouver.
And in Geneva and New York, £100 a night average would only stretch to a one-star lodging.
"It is understandable that UK travellers seek the best value when it comes to going away. So it is great to see that there are many destinations fairly close to home which are still attainable for those looking to balance their budget and still live large," said Lizann Peppard from hotels.com.
Here’s a table showing the star rating that could be purchased with £100 a night or less on average in the world’s top cities in the first six months of 2014
