I just looked at several random dates in March and that's not the average price, and many properties are in the 40-60k range. The W is regularly 80k a night, the St. Ermin's is regularly 77,500k, the Sheraton Park Lane and Bankside are regularly 75k, the St. Pancras is 65k.... Residence Inns, several Marriotts, and Design properties are in the 40-55k range.
Are you talking about the Edition? Because that was not available for 50k last year. And the Residence Inn Tower Bridge was not 25k last year.
Perhaps you are looking for 2 night stays and mistaking the rate for both nights as a single night?
Some data points of rates cited in the master London thread :
2019: Residence Inn Kensington - 40k
2020: Bankside 40k
2021: JW Grosvenor House or St Pancras Renaissance 50k, Edition 70k, Marriott Canary Wharf 35k
2022: Montcalm East - 50k; Marriott Park Lane 100k, Sheraton Park Lane 75k
2023: Sheraton Park Lane -57K ; JW Grosvenor House 65K ;
Rates for March 14, 2025:
Sheraton Park Lane - 77k (2k/2.5% higher than 2022 report; 20k/35% higher than 2023 report;
Bankside- 74k (34k/68% higher than 2020 report)
JW Marriott Grosvenor House - 83k (33k/66% higher than 2021 report)
Marriott Park Lane - 88k (12k/12% <lower> than 2022 report)
St Pancras Renaissance - 64k (14k/28% higher than 2021 report)
Montcalm East - 57k (7k/14% higher than 2022 report)
RI Kensington -47k (7k/17.5% higher than 2019 report)
None of these properties has doubled in price since 2023....or even since 2021 (i.e., when borders were closed)
