Some cities around the world are particularly expensive, so much so that the middle classes are forced to gradually flee. But do you know which city is truly the most luxurious in the world?
Where to live when you have the means? If some people dream of Dubai, New York or even Hong Kong, a study looked at the cities considered to be the most luxurious in the world. And Europe is doing well as evidenced by the top 3.
Indeed, as reported by the American site Travel + Leisurea study was carried out by JB Casino (specialized in crypto and online gaming) to establish the world’s top 10 most luxurious cities. On what criteria? The number of certified five-star hotels, the number of luxury boutiques, the number of gourmet restaurants with or without stars, but also the number of millionaires and billionaires who live there.
Thus, the 3rd step of the podium is occupied by the city of Zurich, in Switzerland. A municipality where the price per square meter for a real estate purchase is among the highest in the world! If it obtains this position it is because it particularly stands out on a selection criterion: of the entire ranking, it is the city which has the most millionaires per 100,000 inhabitants with no less than 17,700 millionaires. For them, the end of the month is not difficult…
On the second step of the podium, however, go thousands of kilometers from the Old Continent since it is the city of Melbourne, in Australia, which stands out. There are notably 125 five-star hotels there. It is, with the winner, one of the only cities in this ranking with more than a hundred luxury hotels. Who would have thought of it?
And the big winner of this ranking is none other than Paris. The French capital confirms its attractiveness and explodes all the scores on the criteria used by the study: more than 800 gastronomic establishments where to eat, more than 140 certified five-star hotels – and no less than 12 official palaces including the CrillonTHE BristolTHE Meurice or even the Plaza AthénéeTHE Royal Monceau – and a crazy number of millionaires since there are more than 7,300! “Paris positions itself as an integral destination for those seeking luxurious experiences“, relates the study.
The rest of the ranking is as follows: Miami, Milan, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore – the rich and magnificent city-state, which is a major financial center of Asia – Seoul and finally London to bring up the rear.
