Hotel prices in Paris during the 2024 Olympics have already increased by more than three-and-a-half times the usual summer rates, less than a year ahead of the games.
Travellers heading to the French capital can expect to pay about US$685 a night for a three-star hotel, compared with around US$178 for a typical July stay, according to data from Google.
Prices for four-star hotels are hitting around US$953 during the Olympics, which will run from July 26 to August 11, up from the usual US$266.
The city expects more than 11 million visitors during the Olympics, 3.3 million of whom are travelling from outside the greater Paris region or internationally and would need accommodation.
For those arrivals, there are about 280,000 rooms available per day across the greater Paris region, a spokeswoman for the Paris tourism office said.
Luxury consumers will be spared the worst inflation rates during the games. Five-star hotels are seeing relatively smaller price spikes than their typically affordable neighbours, with rates of US$1,607 a night, compared with US$625 for a typical July stay.
