I'm curious. Where are prices cheaper?
Seriously - every aspirational place I've got booked, have been looking at, and/or have booked in the last few years has gone up.
The St Regis in Florence, the Gritti Palacein Venice, the Ritz in Tokyo, all much higher.
I'd consider my Helsinki booking a bit more out there, not an aspirational property for most people.
