Having just returned from a holiday in America where, partly because of the weak dollar, everything seems very cheap, I was not surprised to read that in a recent survey London’s hotels come out as being the most expensive in Europe. They are not, however, as expensive as Bath which has an average cost of £114 a night, £7 more than in London. Worldwide, Moscow is the most expensive at £172. This is possibly because due to security worries, travellers will often fork out more for a costlier hotel in the belief that they will be safer there. The cheapest destination is Bangkok at £42 a night. This is up 58% from 2005-2006 as older people with more money to spend are now travelling to Bangkok, once seen mainly as the preserve of backpackers. The figures are taken from the millions of bookings worldwide on the website www.hotels.com.
