How Much Would the ‘Home Alone 2’ Stay Cost in 2022?
If you were Kevin McCallister living lavishly for a New York City Holiday in ‘Home Alone 2,’ you’d be dropping serious coin in 1992… But how much would that have cost TODAY?!
We know his dad would be SCREAMING even worse if he had to pay 2022 rates! According to the analysts over at NewYorkBets.com, the cost of the NYC spree would have increased a whopping 113%! Let’s break down these numbers:
New York Bets says the following:
“Whilst lost in New York alone, Kevin stays in the Grand Plaza suite and although no one knows how much this exact room would have cost back then, 2022 sees the Carnegie Suite offer a similar setup to the movie as it comes with a master bedroom, a living room and a bathroom.
Using the Carnegie Suite as a price guide, this room on the 23rd of December 2022 would cost a massive $3,480… but we imagine it might be a little harder for a nine-year-old now to check in by himself.
In one of the movie scenes, we are shown the invoice for Kevin’s hotel spending which totals $967.43. If you consider today’s inflation, this would now cost 113% more at a grand total of $2,062.92… poor Peter!
Also, using technology, NewYorkBets.com calculated the cost of an Uber ride from JFK Airport to the hotel in December 2022. This single-car journey would cost the youngster a minimum of $76.91 without a tip.
Combining all of Kevin McCallister’s complete trip would have cost an estimated total of $5,917.20 in 2022 – Leaving the end scene “Kevin” make more sense 30 years on.”
This is how much Kevin’s New York spending spree would cost today:
| Kevin’s spending | 1992 | 2022 |
| Hotel Suite (1 night stay on 23rd December) | $1100 | $3,480 |
| Room Service | $967.43 | $2,062.92 |
| Kevin Sundae (3 scoops) | $18 | $96 (16 scoops) |
| Duncan’s Toyshop | $23.75 | $51.37 |
In real life, New York Bets notes that there is actually an influx of Christmas Bookings at The Plaza, and they even offer a ‘Home Alone 2’ package that includes a limo ride around NYC, a large cheese pizza, and a ‘Home Alone Sundae’ — and you don’t have to do it around Christmas time to qualify!
