Discover the city which took the top spot.

Singapore is the third most expensive Asian city when it comes to lodging for travellers, GoEuro's Accommodation Price Index revealed today.

A traveller can expect to spend $124 (US$94) a night for lodging in the Lion City. This figure pales in comparison to the $221 (US$168) that a traveller will need to shell out for a night in top-ranked Macau. Hong Kong came in third with $164 (US$125) per night.

Neighboring Kuala Lumpur is one of the cheaper destinations on the list, with travellers spending an average of $57 (US$43 per night), followed by Shanghai at $54 (US$41) per night and Bangkok at $51 (US$39) per night.

The report ranked 150 cities across the world in terms of tourist lodging affordability. On a global basis, Singapore is the 37th most expensive city for travel accommodation, while Macau is ranked third and Hong Kong is 15th.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
