We would be hard-pressed to find something we don’t enjoy about spending the night in a 5-star hotel room.
From the crisp white bed sheets to the impossibly fluffy bathrobes and the minibar crammed full of the best kinds of snacks (peanut butter M&Ms, we’re looking at you), the occasional night of luxury is often just the treat we need as an antidote to our hectic 9 to 5s.
A night in a plush hotel room sounds even better when it comes with a reasonable price tag, which is where the results of a new report by Deutsche Bank, analysing the cost of 5-star hotel rooms across the world, comes in pretty handy.
The report, published in May, highlights a pretty unsurprising top three for the world’s most expensive rooms: Milan topped the list with an average cost of $716.10 (£556.28) per night, while London came in second at $576.50 (£447.84) and Vienna followed closely behind at $569.40 (£442.32).
But if you don't fancy splurging the cost of an entire holiday on a single night, fear not – below we have listed the 18 cheapest destinations for 5-star breaks that won’t ruin your night’s sleep with the spectre of a hefty bill in the morning.
