[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hotels in Europe are the same price as in the US.

So airfare is the main difference.  [/quote]

Hotels in Europe are so much cheaper than in the US. And pls don’t compare a Sofitel in Paris to a Hampton Inn in Hartford. [/quote]

This. Also midpriced hotels I'm Europe are so much more reliable decent than in the US, especially in tourist destinations. We've spent the same on a damp, moldy, run down hotel near a beach in Florida as we have on a lovely, well maintained hotel near a beach in France. And the hotel in France will have better food and nicer staff. Both will be "three stars" but since hospitality is taken way more seriously in Europe than the US, that will mean a lot more there.[/quote]

Only outside of major European cities. The city hotels are outrageously priced. [/quote]

Maybe at peak travel seasons prices will be higher but even gently off peak I find plenty of affordable options. Even in London! For me affordable is $150 a night or close enough. [/quote]

I shudder to think at what hotel you are staying at in London at any time of the year for $150/night.[/quote]

DP. Yeah, if you are this kind of snob I see how it is impossible to plan an international trip under $20k. I generally look for hotels in this price range in European cities (particularly when paying cash as opposed to using Hyatt points) and it is not hard to find something clean, centrally located, and safe at this price point in most of them.

This is the hotel I stay at in Paris (visit at least once a year). I last stayed there in February and it was $150/night. It’s not winning any awards for luxury, but it’s in an excellent location, clean, has housekeeping every day, and the staff are very helpful. And this kind of hotel is not a unicorn in Europe. If you refuse to stay in anything less than a major American chain hotel or a luxury hotel, then yes, you’re looking at $400-500 per night minimum in a major European city.
