Where in the world will you find the most expensive hotel club sandwich
Clue: You’ll find it in a Swiss city
Geneva is the most expensive city for a club sandwich for the second year running.
A club sandwich in the Swiss city will set you back an average price of $34.83, according to research released by Hotels.com.
Using the classic hotel staple of a chicken, bacon, egg, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwich as a barometer of affordability, the Hotels.com Club Sandwich Index (CSI) offers holidaymakers an indication of the costs associated with their destination of choice.
The CSI average price is calculated from the real prices paid by guests for a club sandwich in 30 hotels in either the capital or an important tourist city in the 28 countries surveyed, across five, four and three star categories. In total, 840 hotels globally were canvassed.
Gastronomic hub Paris held on to the number two spot with a new average of $31.38, followed by Helsinki, which knocked Oslo out of the top three with $26.03 following an increase on the 2013 average cost in the Finnish capital.
India’s New Delhi remained the cheapest destination for a club sandwich, with an average of just $9.38, although several other holiday favourites also appeared under the $20 threshold, including Madrid ($17.02), Rio de Janeiro ($15.64) and Bangkok ($12.80).
Sydney experienced the greatest decrease in its club sandwich price, falling from $20.06 in 2013 to $18.10 in 2014.
Alison Couper of the Hotels.com brand said: "The next time you’re tucking into a Club in Geneva, remember you could have three more for your money in New Delhi."
