The econimical crisis has a bad effect on the average hotel occupancy rates. Unfortunately, some hotels in Paris face the challenge too. In her interview with forbes.com Franka Holtmann, general manager at Le Meurice hotel, told that the hotel sees the 15 % decrease in the number of American clients.
