What do Dallas hotels call the fee?

Of the 9 Dallas hotels that state a fee, 4 use a name with “destination” in it, 3 with “amenity”, 1 with “urban” and 1 with none of those words. None uses “resort”. Whatever the name, it is a mandatory nightly charge the hotel sets and collects, on top of the room rate and separate from government tax, charged whether or not you use anything it covers.

How the fee reaches your bill

A resort fee is a mandatory charge per night that the hotel sets and collects itself, usually at check-in. It is not a government tax, and it is charged whether or not you use anything it covers. Some hotels call it a destination, facility or amenity fee; the table uses the hotel's own word.

Because the hotel takes it at the desk, it can sit outside the total a booking site quotes. We put it in the total, and we say which part is paid now and which part the hotel collects at the desk.

Where a hotel says tax is charged on the fee, the row says so; where it says nothing, the row says nothing.

Since May 12, 2025, the FTC's rule on unfair fees (16 CFR Part 464) has required the total price a seller shows to include mandatory fees. Government taxes may still be left out of it, and the rule governs what a seller displays, not what a hotel may charge.
