Hotels in Moscow were the most profitable of those across 13 countries surveyed last year for the TRI Hotels 2007 Europe report.
They achieved an IBFC% (income before fixed charges as a percentage of total turnover) of 57.5% in 2006.
Prague and London came next in the profitability league, with an IBFC% of 47.7% and 45.7% respectively.
Although Moscow hotels reported the second lowest occupancy figures after Hannover (69.2%, against the German city’s 53%), the Russian city benefited from the third highest room rate in the survey after Rome and Paris and the lowest wage costs as a percentage of turnover in the survey.
As a result, Moscow hotels were the only ones to achieve a three-digit IBFC per available room (of €140.56), followed by London in second place with €99.57.
The figures are compiled each year by TRI Hospitality Consulting.
The full 2007 report for hotel performance in Europe and the UK costs £350 (for both surveys) and can be obtained by e-mailing Claire King at TRI.
