Oslo er nummer fire på lista over verdens dyreste byer å spise på hotell. Øverst på Hotels.coms “sandwich-liste” troner Genève i Sveits, skriver www.travelnews.no

Listen rangerer byene i forhold til snittprisen du betaler for en klassisk club sandwich.

Denne gang har Hotels.com inkludert tre andre vanlige retter og tilbehør du finner i byenes hotellrestauranter og kafeer – et hamburger-måltid (med burger, pommes frites og mineralvann), en kopp kaffe og en glass husets rødvin.

Gjennomsnittsprisen ble beregnet ut fra det gjestene normalt må punge ut med for alle de fire enheten på mer enn 840 tre-, fire- og femstjerners hoteller i 28 byer over hele verden.

Genève var kanskje ikke overraskende dyrest, og hadde den klart dyreste club sandwichen av alle. Den dyreste kaffen er å finne i Seoul, mens Paris serverer den dyreste vinen på femstjerners-hotellene, tett fulgt av Hongkong.

Av de 28 byene er Bogota i Colombia den billigste hotelldestinasjonen når det gjelder måltider gjennom hele dagen, etterfulgt av Mexico by, Rio de Janeiro, Madrid og Bangkok.

 De 10 dyreste byene:

1. Genève 690 kr

2. Paris 580 kr

3. Hongkong 570 kr

4. Oslo 545 kr

5. London 522 kr

6. Seoul 520 kr

7. Stockholm 490 kr

8. Japan 485 kr

9. Singapore 480 kr

10.New York 475 kr

 
12.Helsinki 420 kr
13.København 418 kr

Sun International has rebranded five of its hotels in southern Africa to AVANI following an investment of SAR679.5 million by Minor Hotel Group, www.postzambia.com reports. 

Following the changes, Livingstone’s Zambezi Sun Hotel will now be called AVANI Victoria Falls Resort while the luxurious Royal Livingstone Hotel will remain unchanged but will be marketed through Anantra’s distribution channels.

Emmanuelle Moneger, who is general manager of the now AVANI Victoria Falls Resort, formerly Sun International Hotels, said the rebranding would not lead to job losses. Minor Hotel Group (MHG) chief executive officer Dillip Rajakarier said the partnership between MHG and Sun International will see changes in Zambia, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana and Swaziland.

“MGH operator and investor, currently with a portfolio of 133 hotels and resorts in 22 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, South America, Africa and the Indian Ocean will rebrand five hotels in southern Africa to its upscale AVANI brand from July 1 this year,” he said in a press release issued by Moneger.

“The 212 room capacity Zambezi Sun will be rebranded AVANI Victoria Falls Resort while the 196 room Gaborone Sun will now be known as AVANI Gaborone Resort and Casino. The 158-key Lesotho Sun and 105-key Maseru Sun, both in Lesotho, are to be rebranded to AVANI Lesotho Hotel and Casino and AVANI Maseru respectively and the 173-key Kalahari Sands in Namibia will reflag to become AVANI Windhoek Hotel and Casino.

The Sixth property in the portfolio, the well-known Royal Livingstone Resort, will not be rebranded and is being marketed through Anantra’s distribution channels.

“Rajakarier added that apart from the five hotels that had been rebranded in southern Africa, AVANI had eight hotels and resorts across six countries in Asia and Africa, including AVANI Pemba Beach Hotel in Mozambique and AVANI Seychelles Barbarons Resort and Spa. And in an interview, Moneger said the next expansion would involve creation of a spa at the Royal Livingstone and assured that no jobs will be lost during the rebranding process.

“Nothing will change in the manpower; if anything it will go bigger as occupancy increases. So the standards will not change and there will be even higher standards than what we have. At the moment, we have just finished the refurbishment of the AVANI (formerly Zambezi Sun Hotels),” said Emmanuelle Moneger.
