Average price of Paris hotel room soars above 200 euros

The average price of a double room in Paris hotels has surged above 200 euros per night, making the city of light more expensive than London, hotel price comparison website Trivago said Monday.

The website said the return of business travellers has fuelled a 26 percent rise in the average price of a Paris hotel room over the past year to 204 euros per night.

According to its latest index, the average price of a double room in London is 200 euros.

Paris is still far off from Geneva, which costs on average 298 euros per night.
