Where is the world’s most expensive coffee?

Where is the world’s most expensive coffee?

From coffee to club sandwiches, it’s scary to think how much we spend on the little things when we’re on holidays.

So to highlight that paranoia, Hotels.com has released its latest Club Sandwich Index, rounding up the world’s cheapest and most expensive cities for hotel dining.

If you’re planning a trip to Seoul, best ditch your caffeine addiction before you leave, because that vice will cost you big.

The Index has shown that a cup of coffee in a hotel in the Korean capital will set you back an average of $12.41, rising to a staggering $16.54 in a five-star hotel.

In fact, coffee doesn’t come cheap in most Asian city hotels for Aussie travellers, with Tokyo, Beijing and Hong Kong all coming out as the world’s most expensive cities for a cuppa in a hotel.

Your best bet for a cheap hit will be on the other side of the earth, in Bogota, Colombia – a steal at only $2 a cup.

On the other end of the spectrum, you can’t keep the change on a meal in places like Geneva, Switzerland, where a club sandwich, a burger and fries, a glass of house red wine and a cup of coffee together will cost you an eye-watering $110.70.

The same package will cost you a mere third of that in the Colombian capital ($38.40), while Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid all came in under $50.

And if you were thinking of sneaking in a cheeky drop of Burgundy in the French capital, think again: at a jaw-dropping $29.39, a glass of house red wine in a five-star hotel in Paris will cost you more than a club sandwich in 19 other cities, including New York City, Dublin, Sydney and Berlin.

Our own country isn’t cheap either, with Sydney emerging as the 14th most expensive city for all four items combined at an average of $65.11.

Check out the highs and lows of prices for each product.
