Singapore serves world"s most expensive hotel breakfast

Hotel guests in Singapore are forking out more than anyone else for their breakfast, a new report has revealed.


According to a new report by online hotel booking company HRS, two thirds of hotels do not include breakfast in their standard room rates, and guests wanting their morning eggs have to shell out an average of EUR10.32 (approximately US$14.20) per day.

But in Singapore, hotel guests are charged an average of EUR16.86 for the first meal of the day, making it the most expensive hotel breakfast in the world.


Switzerland has the second priciest hotel breakfast, at EUR16.05, followed by Belgium (EUR15.05), the Netherlands (EUR14.41) and Japan (EUR14.13).


Hong Kong (eighth, EUR13.88) was the only other Asian entry in the top 10, which was largely made up of European countries. The USA was only 15th, with an average breakfast cost of EUR10.63, while South Korea (22nd, EUR9.78) and China (24th, EUR8.83) were well down the list.


And as one might expect; the more expensive the hotel, the pricier the breakfast. The average price of a five-star hotel breakfast in Switzerland is a whopping EUR31.19, while luxury hotels were found to charge an average of EUR27.71 in Germany and EUR27.50 in Belgium.
