Tennessee resort fees, city by city.
As of Oct 15, 2026, we have looked up 100 hotels in 2 Tennessee cities: on their own websites, 17 state a mandatory resort or destination fee, 1 states it charges none, and 82 could not be confirmed either way. Among the 17 Tennessee hotels that state a fee, the median is $29.99 a night, before any tax a hotel adds on top. The lowest is $12.00, at Hayes Street Hotel (Nashville); the highest is $35.00, at JW Marriott Nashville (Nashville) and Omni Nashville Hotel (Nashville). These are the hotels we read in the cities we read, not every hotel in Tennessee.
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.

Tennessee hotels that say they charge no resort fee
The law in Tennessee
Notice of fees for hotel services · Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-139
In force since July 1, 2026
Not an all-in price law: a booking site that lists hotel services costing extra, such as parking or breakfast, must say that they cost extra and which ones.
“If a hotel booking site or third-party booking site includes information about ancillary hotel services available at a hotel located in this state and access to the services requires payment of additional fees by the consumer beyond the cost of the room, then the hotel booking site or third-party booking site must disclose: (1) That there are additional fees required to access such services; and (2) Which services require such additional fees.” Public Chapter No. 866
Everywhere in the US
FTC Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees · 16 CFR Part 464
In force since May 12, 2025
Any business that shows a price for short-term lodging must show the total price, mandatory fees included, more prominently than any other price, and must say what any excluded fee is before you pay.
“It is an unfair and deceptive practice and a violation of this part for any business to offer, display, or advertise any price of a covered good or service without clearly and conspicuously disclosing the total price.” 16 CFR Part 464 (eCFR)
