Methodology
Statistics are captured from live hotel searches across our partner booking sites for a standard basket: 2 adults, 1 room, weekend stay (Friday to Sunday) about 30 days out. Prices are per-night rates in USD before taxes and fees, using each property's cheapest available rate. The latest snapshot sampled 50 properties for 2026-09-25 to 2026-09-27. Trends and month-to-month comparisons appear once a city has 3 snapshots.
