Marriott destination fee and resort fee, hotel by hotel

Some Marriott hotels add a nightly fee to the room rate, and they give it no single name. Of the 43 Marriott hotels in our data whose own page said either way, 28 state one, from $25.00 to $60.00 a night (median $35.00), before tax: 17 use a name with “destination” in it, 10 with “resort” and 1 with “amenity”. 15 say they charge no resort fee, and of those, 10 are vacation clubs under Marriott’s name.

Read on the hotels’ own pages through 20 September 2026. A hotel counts as Marriott’s when its name carries one of Marriott’s brand names or its fee was read on marriott.com or the vacation clubs’ own site, so of the 43 that answered, 10 are vacation clubs under Marriott’s name. Another 257 Marriott hotels in our data could not be confirmed either way; a page we could not read says nothing, so they are in no figure here.

Does Marriott charge a destination fee?

Some of its hotels do, and there is no one Marriott fee: each hotel’s page names and prices its own. The names on the 28 pages that state one are “Destination fee” (10), “Resort fee” (7), “Destination Amenity Fee” (5), “Daily Destination Fee” (2), “Daily Resort Fee” (2), “Amenity Fee” (1), “Daily Resort Charge” (1).

By the name the hotel uses: with “destination” in the name, 17 hotels, from $25.00 to $50.00 a night (median $32.00); with “resort” in the name, 10 hotels, from $30.00 to $60.00 a night (median $51.00); with “amenity” in the name, 1 hotel, $30.00 a night, all before tax.

JW Marriott Nashville, near the middle of the range, puts it this way on its own page: “A daily destination fee of $35 provides a range of curated inclusions to enrich your stay, including: a daily $20 food and beverage credit”

Whatever a hotel calls it, a charge you cannot decline, per night, is part of the price of the room; the name changes nothing in what you pay. Destination fee: what it is and which hotels charge it has every hotel using that name, Marriott’s or not.

What Marriott hotels say the fee includes

Counted once per hotel, out of the 27 of 28 Marriott hotels that say what their fee pays for. A hotel that lists nothing has not said its fee pays for nothing, and an item on the list is not a reason to pay it: the fee is the same whether or not you use any of it.
