Thus, it's difficult for me to accurately gauge year-over-year inflation.
It's more of a feeling - it feels like all hotels, pretty much everywhere, have seen dramatic rises in rack rates.
One of the most striking for me is Paris 5 star hotels. Around 2018 it seemed like the entry level room in a 5 star / palace hotel would be roughly 1000-1100 EUR. Since 2022 it's like 2000+ EUR, and then of course many people who aren't looking at a suite may want to go a bit above the entry level room category... and you're talking then 2200-2500 EUR to get like the "Deluxe" or "Premier" or "Prestige" vs. "Petite 1 Queen Bed Inférieure."
There's been a big rise in many Italy hotel prices as well.
