LONDON, August 9, 2010 - What level have hotel prices reached in summer 2010? Where are
room rates particularly good value for money, and in which cities do visitors
need deeper pockets? hotel.info ( www.hotel.info ), the free online
hotel reservation service for more than 210,000 hotels around the world, has
once again analysed the hotel price inquiries conducted by its online users
as per the end of the second quarter of 2010.

The changes in prices in July were compared with those in
June, as well as with those from the same month in previous years. These
include July 2009, a period in the depths of the economic and financial
crisis, and July 2008, before the crisis began. The latest results show that:

- New York and London have very high room rates

- Extraordinary change in prices in Rio de Janeiro during July

- Many cities in Eastern Europe offer cheap accommodation options

- Rising price trends evident for major global cities

The following hotel.info hotel rate barometer ranking shows
the average price per room per night in euros for all types and categories of
hotel.
