The cost of a good night’s sleep

Where do you think the most expensive hotels in the world are located?

According to a recent article in the New Zealand Herald London, England is the most expensive place to spend the night in Europe. The July 2005 bombings and competitive rates offered through online booking websites can’t counteract the chronic shortage of beds and easy accessibility by air.

So just how expensive are the rooms? The article reports that rates for double rooms can get as high as 400 or 500 pounds, but the average cost is about 98 pounds (that’s almost $200 USD).

According the article, the world’s cheapest city for classy hotels is Bangkok. In Europe, the best rates can be found in Talinn, Estonia where travellers can spend up to ten nights for the price of one night in England.
