That's crazy money. Maybe makes sense if you're net worth is north of 5 mil.

I have the cash, but just not even close to being worth it. You can stay at an awesome hotel or Airbnb for under $100 a night in other countries.

I assure you that many of us with that net worth still find it ridiculous. I’m the PP who is salty about prices in London and Paris. But rather than paying luxury prices we just downgraded our hotels to keep the price in check. It’s still $500/night though.

In London and Paris you don't need pools and spas and multiple hotel restaurants. You just need a decent hotel. I actually prefer some of the smaller hotels in London.

Granted, I booked months ago, but that’s where I’d look. And that’s how you keep it reasonable.

Thanks. I’m not looking to save money and will spend $750 a day on food. Just didn’t know if it was normal for a 2 queen room to be $700 a night at non peak week.

This phrase "non peak." I don't think it means what you think it means...

Ok thanks. I don’t ski but glad to see it’s in line. Was looking at ritz for spring break and it was $1400 for a mid one.

So you want the ritz, two queens, multiple restaurants etc etc for under $500? You clearly don’t travel much.

European cities are just as bad. Just booked hotels in London and Paris and both were over $500 for a run of the mill, nothing special hotel. Nice hotels were $1000-$1200. And this is a random week in June.

A random week in June happens to be peak tourist season in London and Paris…which happen to be very popular, very overpriced travel destinations.
