 "Club Sandwich")
If you love club sandwiches and are looking for the cheapest servings available, then India is the place for you as New Delhi serves the most economically priced club sandwich in the world, according to a survey.
India's capital city remained the cheapest destination to buy a club sandwich, with an average price of just Rs 494, although several other holiday favourites also appeared under the Rs 850 threshold, including Madrid (Rs 801), Rio de Janeiro (Rs 781) and Bangkok (Rs 640), says a recent survey by leading online accommodation booking website Hotels.Com.
The report calculated the real prices paid by guests for a club sandwich in 30 hotels in the capital or an important tourist city of each country surveyed, across five, four and three-star categories, in 840 hotels globally.
Geneva has taken over from Paris as the most expensive city in the world to order a club sandwich, at an average of Rs 1,652, according to the survey.
In the Swiss city, prices for club sandwich ranged from Rs 2,841 in five-star hotel to a more reasonable Rs 767 in a three-star establishment.
Gastronomic hub and last year's chart topper, Paris, this year slipped to number two with a new average of Rs 1,489, closely followed by Oslo, which held on to the number three spot with Rs 1,449.
"The club sandwich, available on hotel menus across the globe, is the perfect spending barometer, helping tourists factor into their travel plans the everyday cost of simple items such as food and drink.
"The price changes when comparing 2013 to 2012 hide a complex story of factors from changes in the local price of basic food items to currency fluctuations," Alison Couper of Hotels.Com said.
