Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is the cheapest city in the world for a five-star stay, with an average price per night of £70 (approx. $94). LuxuryHotel.com took their list of cities from Euromonitor’s Top 100 City Destinations, omitting seven cities due to lack of data. They then used Booking.com to find out how many hotels there are in each city, and of those how many are five-star hotels. This site also gave them the average costs per room of a night in a five-star hotel in each city.
