London revealed as the best city worldwide for entertaining clients

Using metrics such as the number of business meeting rooms available to hire, number of Michelin-recognised restaurants and the cost of a taxi, CompareMyJet has researched 38 OECD countries to discover the 10 best and worst cities in the world for business people looking to impress their clients.

London, UK, revealed as the best capital city worldwide to impress your business clients. The UK’s capital city boasts 129 five-star luxury bars and clubs, 231 business meeting rooms, and 445 prestigious golf courses making it the best city to entertain clients. However, London is also the most expensive city with an average nightly rate for its five-star hotels at £1,091.87 per night.

Tokyo takes second place, with rates for five-star hotel stays at around £368.21 per night, 105 five-star rated bars and clubs, and the second-highest number of Michelin-star restaurants (427). Madrid ranks in third with 113 business meeting rooms, affordable five-star hotel stays and reasonably priced transportation with a 5 km taxi ride costing just £7.90.

The table below shows the top five locations to entertain clients in:

Well known for its delicious cuisine, it comes as no surprise that Paris has the most Michelin-star restaurants available, making it the perfect choice for companies that want to wine and dine clients.

Study reveals Bern, Switzerland is the worst location for companies to take clients. Bern in Switzerland ranks the worst city for entertaining clients. A 5 km taxi journey in the Swiss capital is the most expensive out of every city in Compare My Jet’s ranking at £24. There are also only eight business meeting rooms to choose from and just three five star bars and clubs for evening entertainment.

Reykjavik in Iceland comes in second to last, partially due to the cost of a five star hotel stay which would set the average company back nearly £471 per person per night.
