Airbnb gives Paris hoteliers a fright
"The Bristol suffered a 20 percent drop in revenue in the first half
of this year and an occupancy rate that fell to 61.2 percent from 69.2.
Host owners 'Maxime and Fanny' present a flat they say was once the
home of film star Brigitte Bardot, and whose '140 metre square terrace
offers you a breathtaking 360 degree view of the capital city' - all for
1,200 pounds ($1,860) a night.
American actress Judith Freiha gets rave reviews for her one bedroom
apartment on the Ile Saint Louis, an island in the Seine river near the
heart of the city whose buildings date mostly from the 17th Century.
Airbnb says it is not in competition with the palaces.
The super-luxury hotels are not so sure."

My two cents: Oh la la, I hope the super-luxury palace hotel owners (or their butlers) won't be rioting outside the Airbnb Open in November. :-)

Oh la la , $1860 a night ?!
