Weak Dollar Threatens European Tourism - Luxique Sees Bargains Ahead

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 1, 2008 -- With the greenback taking a 35 percent drubbing in the last 5 years, booking that hip Paris luxury hotel (http://www.luxique.com/boutique-hotels/france/paris/) or the chic Rome hotel (http://www.luxique.com/boutique-hotels/italy/rome/) is becoming staggeringly expensive.

And this, says the boutique and luxury hotel company, Luxique, could trigger some handy bargains for the canny non-US tourist, especially at the high end of the market.

Now that Spring in Europe is grudgingly making its appearance, all the great European capitals will be in competition for the attention of the short-break tourist.

Luxique's CEO, Alex Brey, said: "We're focusing on Paris and Rome this Spring - both great places for a romantic break and both with hundreds of hotels competing for business. That said, three of the top award-winning Paris luxury hotels (http://www.luxique.com/boutique-hotels/france/paris/), Ritz Paris, Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris and the Hôtel Plaza Athénée will still charge you over a 1000 dollars per night for a Deluxe Double room."

A provocative and tongue-in-cheek blog recently suggested that Rome far outstripped Paris in terms of a pleasant European experience. Needless to say, the blog elicited some fervent comments for and against. Perhaps the best and most diplomatic summing-up was this: "Why should one be better than the other? They're different, that's all."

The answer is, of course, that if you have time, visit both. There are regular flights between Paris and Rome or an overnight sleeper rail service that takes around fourteen and a half hours.

On the Luxique website, you'll find great rates at some of the best design, boutique and luxury hotels in Paris and Rome as well as city guides with advice about what to see and how best to get around.
