Yes, it IS a Happy New Year for New York hoteliers
It is certainly a Happy New Year Eve for hoteliers in New York ... they have been charging a whacking 700 per cent premium for anyone who thught they might find a last-minute bargain.
New analysis compiled by NewYorkHotels.org found that a few hotel rooms still had rooms available in and around the city, but only if revellers are willing to paythe earth.
Staying in the heart of the New Year’s celebration in Manhattan will cost travelers the most. There, 50 hotels are still posting room vacancies, but on average, they’re charging more than triple their regular rates.
The Central Park area and the Financial District are particularly expensive if one wants to see the New Year’s Eve ball drop in person.
The prize for the largest overall price increase goes to The Red Carpet Inn, near the Brooklyn Bridge. It is charging $1,000 for a room on New Year’s Eve - 740 per cent more than its typical rate of $119.
