Galway hotels expect to achieve record yields during this year's Race Week.
One-night stays in three-star hotels near Ballybrit were priced at more than €500 on booking websites on Sunday, although some of the highest prices listed were dismissed by hoteliers as inaccurate.
The website hotels.com listed a room in the Nox Hotel on the fringes of an industrial estate near the racetrack on Thursday night at a price of €699.50.
Availability across the city is extremely limited for the Races, valued at €54 million to the local economy, with many two- and three-star hotels as well as B&Bs and self-catering apartments charging more than €200 for a single night.
