PARIS, the City of Lights, is also the city with the most expensive club sandwich in the world, according to a global survey released on Wednesday (May 9) by an online travel service.
Hotels.com said it price-checked club sandwiches at more than 750 hotels in 26 cities in Asia, Europe, North America and South America to help travellers size up the affordability of different national capitals.
The result? Paris topped the list with an average price of $33.10 for the iconic chicken, bacon, egg, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwich that's a fixture on virtually every hotel restaurant and room-service menu.
Geneva placed second at $32.56, followed by Oslo at $30.50. New Delhi was cheapest at $9.57. Berlin and Brasilia were bang in the middle at $17.77 each – slightly more expensive that New York's $16.93.
Tokyo came in at $27.65, Hong Kong at $18.35, London at $18.71 and Toronto at $16.05.
“Paris may well be the gastronomic capital of the world, but travelers may be better off sticking to a croque-monsieur,” Hotels.com spokeswoman Alison Couper said in a statement.
