BASEL, SWITZERLAND – Switzerland’s cheapest hotel club sandwich is in Lugano, CHF12, with Montreux and Zermatt right behind at CHF13 and CHF15.50 respectively. You can get a relatively cheap one in Geneva, at CHF13.50, but this is also the city with Switzerland’s most expensive one, at CHF50.
The prices are the latest addition to the club sandwich index (CSI) created by hotels.com to compare city costs for travelers worldwide, based on the price of the sandwich in hotels.
If you’re wondering why you should care about a club sandwich in the first place, reflect on this: you can’t judge a city’s costs based on just one lunch. Geneva has the world’s highest average cost for the sandwhich, at CHF29.50, but in any of Switzerland’s city you can spend a lot or a lot less, if you try. Lugano may have the cheapest one but it also has the second highest, at HF48 and Lausanne is right up there with CHF39.
