South Carolina resort fees, city by city.
As of Oct 10, 2026, we have looked up 144 hotels in 4 South Carolina cities: on their own websites, 25 state a mandatory resort or destination fee, 10 state they charge none, and 109 could not be confirmed either way. Among the 25 South Carolina hotels that state a fee, the median is $20.00 a night, before any tax a hotel adds on top. The lowest is $2.00, at Hotel Bennett (Charleston) and The Dewberry (Charleston); the highest is $45.00, at Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort (Hilton Head Island). These are the hotels we read in the cities we read, not every hotel in South Carolina.
Every figure on this page is a hotel's own website, read on the date its city page shows and linked from there. A hotel we could not confirm is counted as unconfirmed, never as charging nothing.
