The big question
Why are we asking this now?
The UK has the most expensive hotels in Europe, according to a
new report. Staying a night here cost an average of 106 in 2007, up
12 per cent on the previous year. Hotels in Norway and Switzerland,
the next most expensive, charge 99 a night. Italy and Denmark are 98
while guests pay only 83 in France and 79 in Spain - and far less in
Eastern Europe: just 66 in Poland and 59 in the Baltic states,
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, making them the cheapest in Europe.
The figures were compiled by the online reservation service
Hotels.com.
