Moscow luxury hotel rates are rock bottom for 2015 stays. The Russian ruble hit a record low against the U.S. Dollar today at 72 RUB per $1 USD. Travel to Russia is a relative bargain right now with the recent Delta and Skyteam partners low fares to Russia and Aeroflot discount rates.
In 2012, Hogg Robinson Group reported Moscow had the highest average hotel room rates at $404 or £258.11 of 50 cities around the world.
Moscow had held that position for eight years running.
For the 8th year in a row, room rates in Moscow are far and away the highest of any destination monitored by HRG. Hotel prices in the Russian capital have risen 3% in local currency over the past year.
