Lurmétrica's detailed analysis of daily hotel price estimates, using data updated to September 14, 2026, reveals an economic landscape marked by extreme volatility and pronounced seasonal contrasts throughout the year. This numerical overview of the two major seasons shows how the hotel sector meticulously adjusts its rates to capitalize on seasonal demand, forcing travelers to navigate a veritable map of financial peaks and valleys that fluctuate dramatically depending on the specific day of the year analyzed.
The first section of the graph, covering the period between September and November, begins with the most affordable and budget-friendly options for consumers. During the initial days of September, specifically between the 1st and 11th, minimum daily rates experienced a significant drop, frequently settling in a range between €135 and €140 per night, with occasional lows of €135 on September 9th and €136 on September 11th. From then on, the graph shows slight increases in the middle of the month, fluctuating between €140 and €157, the latter recorded on September 15th and 16th.
However, this period of relative calm for the market breaks abruptly as October approaches, a time when prices experience sudden and significant increases, frequently reaching or exceeding the €180 per night mark. Specifically, prices reached €180 on October 3rd, repeating this level on October 10th, and climbing to €185 on October 23rd, demonstrating the direct impact of weekends with high occupancy or special events at the destination. Meanwhile, the lows during this period remained around €165 and €167 on intermediate dates such as October 6th, 12th, and 19th.
With the arrival of November, price fluctuations become the norm in the hotel market. Daily rates fluctuate within a base range of around €200—reaching exactly €200 on November 8, 9, 10, and 11—but then spike cyclically and rapidly, reaching €220 or higher within a few days. Specifically, the chart shows identical peaks of €224 on November 14 and 22, and €220 on November 26.
However, this fluctuating behavior pales in comparison to the second chart, which focuses on the period from December to February, where the true climax of the year's economic contrasts is recorded. After remaining within a relatively contained range of €180 to €210 for much of December—with a low of €180 on December 9 and a high of €212 on December 20—the chart depicts a titanic and unprecedented surge on December 31. On that single day, the market shatters all records for the analyzed period, pushing the daily price of hotels to an all-time high of €300 per night.
This historic peak contrasts sharply with the immediate economic downturn that occurs at the start of the new year, as on January 1st prices plummet to 280 euros, falling even further to 255 euros on January 2nd and settling around 195 euros and 200 euros between January 5th and 9th.
After the initial holiday period, prices continued to fluctuate throughout the following weeks of January and during February. Stable lows of €190 were recorded on January 13, 17, and 23, alternating with moderate peaks of €218 on January 16 and €216 on January 24. As February progressed, prices settled into a steady pattern, rising to €234 on February 5, €230 on February 13, and €226 on February 20, before closing the month with a peak of €226 on February 26 and a final decline to €198 on February 28.
In short, this exhaustive numerical breakdown demonstrates that the hotel industry lives in a perpetual duality between the routine of low tourist pressure periods and the exclusivity of major events on the calendar, where each holiday acts as an automatic accelerator that drives costs up to levels unsuspected by the consumer.
