Geneva tops the list as priciest city; Toronto offers great value for travellers

TORONTO, June 25, 2015 /CNW/ - The Hotels.com™ Club Sandwich Index (CSI) continues to uncover the dining costs of hotels worldwide with its annual price barometer, the Club Sandwich Index. This year, the elevated report by Hotels.com - the CSI 2.0 - added three more hotel dining items to make the Index a more comprehensive indicator for travellers to understand the costs associated with a full day of dining in hotels worldwide.

The improved CSI report incorporates the prices of four popular dining options available to hotel guests throughout the day:

  1. A CLUB SANDWICH for dinner
  2. A BURGER MEAL, consisting of a burger, fries and soda for lunch
  3. A cup of COFFEE
  4. A glass of HOUSE RED WINE for post-dinner drinks

The average prices are calculated from real prices (including taxes and fees) paid by guests for all four items in 30 hotels across 5-, 4- and 3-star categories in the capital or an important tourist city of the 28 countries surveyed.

Bogota offers best value while Geneva's prices top the list

Based on findings from the CSI 2.0, Geneva, Switzerland, is not only the most expensive city for a club sandwich, but also for enjoying a full-day hotel dining experience (CAD$107.64). On the other end of the spectrum, Bogota, Columbia is home to the least expensive dining options with an average price of CAD$37.33.

While hungry travellers can get the most bang for their buck in Bogota, other South American cities like Rio de Janeiro (CAD$42.44) and Buenos Aires (CAD$50.00) gave the Colombian capital a run for its money with their affordable dining costs.

A supplementary poll within Canada, found Toronto reigned as the most expensive Canadian city for dining, followed closely by Vancouver ($50.95) and Montreal ($50.07). Calgary came in a few dollars less at $46.87 and Halifax offered the best value at $42.98.

Additional CSI 2.0 highlights:

  • Within North America, Toronto offered the best value for foodie travellers compared to New York City. Savings of more than $20 dollars ($74.02 vs. $51.58) for the full menu could be found and club sandwiches were an average of $3 less.
  • Rome decreased by 32%, dropping 9 places from 2014, with an average price of CAD$18.04
  • India increased by 28%, jumping up 4 places from 2014, but remained one of the most affordable places to enjoy a club sandwich.
  • Mexico City remained consistent with the price only increasing by 0.08% to $12.13, the cheapest on average globally and pushing out last year's champion, India's New Delhi (CAD$13.97).
