A new survey from TravelMag.com has established the most expensive city hotels in the United States and Canada. Not surprisingly, these pricey establishments are mostly located in each of the two countries’ biggest city.

The survey specifically compared luxury hotels based on their average rates for a regular double room (using the least expensive double room as the basis of comparison) during the month of October 2014. Only such hotels located inside major cities were considered.
With an average nightly rate of $1,189, the Soho House, situated in the heart of New York’s bustling Meatpacking District, is the most expensive hotel in the United States. In Canada, that distinction goes to the Four Seasons Toronto, which leads the Canadian rankings. At an average overnight price tag of $532 it is, however, significantly cheaper than the USA’s most expensive hotels.

About the Methodology:
The survey was conducted in September 2014. For all luxury hotels in the United States and Canada that are located in a major city (>500,000 residents), the lowest available price a couple would have to spend to stay at each respective hotels was established. This figure represents each establishment’s average rate for the month of October 2014. The rates were taken from the respective hotels’ websites or were drawn from the leading hotel-booking sites. In all cases, the lowest available price was used in tabulating the results.
