Paris sells most expensive club sandwich in the world: survey

Paris may be known as the most romantic city in the world, but it's also the most expensive place to buy a club sandwich -- making it the priciest travel destination on the globe.

That's the conclusion of online accommodation booking site Hotels.com which surveyed 750 hotels in three to five star categories across 26 countries and price-checked a standard club sandwich -- a staple on nearly every hotel menu -- against one another.

Dubbed the Club Sandwich Index or CSI, a triple-decker sandwich in Paris averages $33.10, followed by Geneva and Oslo, where ordering the all-American chicken, bacon, lettuce and mayonnaise club will set you back on average $32.56 and $30.50 respectively.
