I came across hotel rates during Game 1 of the Finals period and was shocked by the pricing in New York City, even though the game itself was not even taking place there.
A standard room, not even a suite, was listed at around 15,000 per night (about 11,500 USD after conversion). There was nothing particularly special about the property or the room type.
I am trying to understand how pricing like this is justified and who the target customers are for rates at this level.
