Paris Hotels Just Had Their Most Expensive Month Ever

If your October hotel bill in Paris felt steep, the data agrees. Preliminary figures from hospitality analytics firm CoStar, released on November 11, show Paris hotels set a new monthly record for average daily rate in October 2026, at €474.64, up 13.5% on a year earlier. Occupancy reached 85.6%, and revenue per available room, the industry’s favourite measure of performance, climbed 15.4% to €406.20. Put simply, hotels filled most of their rooms and charged substantially more for each one.

Paris Fashion Week did much of the heavy lifting. On October 2 the average nightly rate across the city reached €606.78, and on October 3 it hit €604.83, with occupancy that night at 96.9%. Those were the first nights above €600 since the 2024 Olympic Games, a reminder that a single major event can push prices across the entire market, not just at the luxury properties hosting the shows.

Paris was not alone. London posted its highest October revenue per available room on record, £178.81, up 5.5%, with an average rate of £207.91 and occupancy of 86.0%. In Singapore, the Formula 1 Grand Prix helped drive all-time monthly highs for both average rate, at SGD 400.74, and revenue per available room, at SGD 340.49.

The lesson for travelers is about timing. In Paris, fashion week nights ran roughly 28% above the already record-setting monthly average, and races and big trade fairs can have a similar effect elsewhere. Before you book a city break, check the local events calendar and shift your dates by even a few days if you can. Staying a little further out on a good metro line is another reliable way to sidestep the peak.
