PARIS. KAZINFORM Want to spend a few nights in a European luxury hotel? Your dreams may be more attainable than you think, as long as you choose the right destination. According to a study from the travel comparison website Kayak.com, a night in a five-star hotel costs a mere €104 on average in Warsaw (Poland).

To live like royalty without emptying your bank account, travelers may consider forgoing the well-known capitals and seeking out European destinations that are less overrun by tourists. Five-star accommodations are available for less than €130 per night in Warsaw, Thessaloniki (Greece), Bucharest (Romania) and even Athens, Relaxnews reports.
