What is a resort fee?

A mandatory nightly charge a hotel sets and collects itself, usually at check-in, on top of the room rate and separate from government tax. Hotels also call it a destination, facility or amenity fee. It is charged whether or not you use anything it covers.

Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix hotel resort fees in 2026: what each hotel states it charges.

We checked 60 Phoenix hotels against their own websites: 9 state a mandatory resort or destination fee, none states that it charges no fee, and 51 could not be confirmed either way. The median stated fee is $35.00 a night, before any tax a hotel adds on top. The lowest is $25.00, at FOUND:RE Phoenix; the highest is $60.00, at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. Checked through Sep 18, 2026.

Every figure on this page was read off the hotel's own website on the date beside it, and links the page it came from. The list of which hotels to check came from the wholesale rate feed we buy from; no figure from that feed is printed here as a fee.

Not confirmed on the hotel's site

The hotel's site could not be read, or it does not state the fee. That is not the same as charging nothing: silence is not a refusal, and a list that turned “could not find it” into $0 would be inventing the exact number this page exists to expose. These hotels are listed, not priced.

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 we charge and which part the hotel collects, because only one of those is ours to take.

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.
