Texas resort fees, city by city.
As of Oct 15, 2026, we have looked up 194 hotels in 4 Texas cities: on their own websites, 24 state a mandatory resort or destination fee, none states that it charges no fee, and 170 could not be confirmed either way. Among the 24 Texas hotels that state a fee, the median is $30.00 a night, before any tax a hotel adds on top. The lowest is $18.00, at Lone Star Court, by Valencia Hotel Collection (Austin); the highest is $51.50, at Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa (San Antonio). These are the hotels we read in the cities we read, not every hotel in Texas.
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.
