Five Grapevine hotels charge nothing to park, and so does one hotel in Arlington. None of the 11 downtown Fort Worth hotels in this guide is free. The lowest daily price a hotel there charges is $32, for valet at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. The city garage next door charges $22 a vehicle, with no in-and-out.
Grapevine and Arlington
Four Grapevine hotels have free self-parking on site: the Courtyard DFW Airport North and the TownePlace Suites, which share an address at 2200 Bass Pro Court, the SpringHill Suites and the Hyatt Place Dallas/Grapevine. The Hilton Garden Inn Grapevine doesn't charge for self-parking either. It has EV charging on site and no valet.
The Homewood Suites charges $12 a day to self-park and the Embassy Suites $20, and neither has valet. Hotel Vin is $24 a day if you park it yourself ($1 an hour, or $168 a week) and $39 a day for valet. At the Gaylord Texan, self-parking runs $29 a day, or $17 an hour, and valet $49. Great Wolf Lodge charges $25 a night plus tax for any vehicle parked over 30 minutes, its FAQ says.
Grapevine's visitors bureau lists free lots for a day on Main Street, among them 636 S. Main (the Visitor Information Center) and 705 S. Main (the Historic Cotton Belt Depot). The Grapevine Main Parking Garage at 255 E. Dallas Rd. is free for the first 90 minutes and $1 an hour after that, or $15 during special events.
The Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington is the free one in the Arlington Entertainment District, per the hotel's site. Two others charge $10 a day to self-park on site: the Courtyard by Marriott Arlington and the Holiday Inn Arlington NE, where the outdoor lot is for registered guests only.
Self-parking at Live! by Loews and Loews Arlington means the convention center garage, 0.25 mile away, at $29 a night, and a $1.99 one-time processing fee may apply. Valet at both is $39 a night plus tax, with in-and-out. At Live!, only overnight guests get in-and-out on the self-park, and one of its pages adds tax to the $29 while another doesn't. Loews Arlington adds tax, and its event-day rates vary. Ask it about in-and-out on the self-park, since its own pages give both answers.
Parking at Caravan Court Hotel is valet or nothing: $45 a night plus applicable taxes and gratuity, the highest in the area. The Comfort Suites Arlington lists an outdoor lot and bus parking but no price.
Downtown Dallas
The cheapest overnight self-park in Downtown Dallas among the hotels we cover is $20, at the Lorenzo Hotel Dallas, in the lot or the lower-level garage, with in-and-out. You prepay on the hotel's parking form. A $10 daytime rate runs out at midnight. There's no valet. The Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown charges $24 a night in its attached covered garage, also with in-and-out. That garage has 450 spaces and a 6 ft 4 in height limit.
The Omni Dallas Hotel charges $30 overnight to self-park, with in-and-out, and $40 overnight for valet. The same $30 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas gets you the outdoor Radish Lot, with in-and-out for overnight guests only. Its valet runs $50 to $75 overnight depending on dates, tax not included, and oversized vehicles pay a $10 premium. If you park it yourself at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, that's $30 a day on site too. Its valet is $55. The Westin Dallas Downtown is $38 a day to self-park and $60 for valet, or $67 for an oversized vehicle.
The rest of downtown lists valet only. Magnolia Hotel Downtown Dallas has the lowest overnight rate of these, $45 a night. The Renaissance Saint Elm parks cars off-site at the Elm Street Garage, about 0.1 mile away, for $55 a day. Dallas Marriott Downtown is $57 a night excluding tax ($67 overnight for vehicles over 6 ft 7 in), and The Statler Dallas $60 a night plus tax. The Adolphus and The Joule both print $68 overnight on their FAQs. The Adolphus also lists daily valet at $26, and says pricing may vary for oversized vehicles.
Uptown's $70 valet
W Dallas Victory and The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas both charge $70 a day for valet in Uptown and Victory Park. The W parks the car off-site. The Ritz uses its underground garage and lists no other parking. Hotel Crescent Court is $70 plus tax for overnight valet, with in-and-out. It also lists self-parking through an independent provider, charged by the hour and capped at $25 a night, with no in-and-out. That's the lowest overnight price we found at any Uptown hotel we cover. The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek listed overnight valet at $80 a night on its services page in October. That page showed no price when we checked again on November 11.
Below $70, the Hyatt House Dallas/Uptown has covered self-parking on site at $35 a day plus tax. SpringHill Suites Dallas Downtown/West End valets off-site at $44 a day, paid through an app. The Stoneleigh has no self-parking. Its valet is $12 for up to 4 hours, $18 for 4 to 8 and $55 a day for 8 hours or more. At Fairmont Dallas, the guest-services page puts valet at $60 plus tax a night, with unlimited in-and-out.
Hôtel Swexan publishes no guest rate for its valet, and there's no self-parking. The $10 per vehicle on its FAQ is for diners. Hotel ZaZa Dallas Uptown says its valet fee varies by length of stay, and its group policy page calls it "a valet parking only facility." We couldn't confirm any rate for Virgin Hotels Dallas.
Fort Worth's downtown hotels
In Downtown Fort Worth, the Aloft Fort Worth Downtown charges the least of the hotels we cover to self-park: $37 a day, or $14 an hour. Its valet is $37 a day too. Valet at the Worthington Renaissance is $55 a day and self-parking $39. IHG's page puts the Kimpton Harper Hotel at the same $55 for valet and $45 a day to self-park, but the Kimpton's own site lists 24-hour valet at the Main Street entrance, with in-and-out for overnight guests and no price, so confirm the valet price when you book. The AC Hotel Fort Worth Downtown charges $59 a day whichever you choose.
We found no on-site self-parking at the Omni Fort Worth. Its directions page lists overnight valet at $48 plus tax with unlimited in-and-out, or $55 plus tax for oversized vehicles. Daily valet is $32 with no in-and-out, and Omni says these prices can change without notice.
The Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown has valet and nothing else, at $48 a day. The Courtyard Fort Worth Downtown/Blackstone charges $49 a day for valet and The Sinclair $57. Valet at Le Meridien is $59 a day. The Embassy Suites Fort Worth Downtown charges $59 a night for it, and you can't park yourself there. The Hilton Fort Worth has no self-parking at all, and its $69 a day for valet is the highest in downtown Fort Worth.
Stockyards hotels or the district's $32.50 lot
Three Fort Worth Stockyards hotels charge less a day than any downtown Fort Worth hotel. Self-parking at the Hyatt Place Fort Worth Historic Stockyards starts at $20 a night per car, and the price can rise for special events. The SpringHill Suites Fort Worth Historic Stockyards is $10 an hour or $20 a day if you park yourself, and valet is $25 a day. At the Courtyard Fort Worth Historic Stockyards, self-park and valet are both $25 a day.
Hotel Drover charges $57.38 a day for valet on Marriott's page, and its own FAQ lists overnight valet at $53. It has two EV charging stations. Self-parking means a paid lot elsewhere in the Stockyards, with no rate given. Miss Molly's Hotel has no designated parking. There's a pay lot behind the buildings next to the hotel, price not stated, and free curbside parking outside restricted zones.
The district runs its own pay lots and posts the prices on fortworthstockyards.com/parking. Self-park is $12.50 Monday to Wednesday, $17.50 on Thursday, $22.50 Friday to Sunday and $32.50 overnight (24 hours), all plus sales tax and a service fee. Valet is $20 Monday to Thursday and $25 Friday to Sunday with tax and fee included, and the page lists no overnight valet rate. Premium Lots post higher rates and special events have their own. The lots take credit cards only. The three hotels at $20 to $25 all come in under that $32.50 overnight rate, which is before tax and the service fee.
Whether the price includes tax
Texas taxes parking. The Comptroller's publication 96-259, revised in January 2026, lists motor vehicle parking and storage services, valet parking included, as taxable. It states no rate, and we found no separate Dallas or Fort Worth parking tax. Most of these hotels don't say whether their price includes it, so ask whether the number you're quoted is the number on the bill.
Many of these hotels also charge a nightly resort or destination fee on top of parking, and the resort fee guide lists them.
Hotel figures come from each hotel's or chain's own pages, read in late October 2026. Several were read again on November 11, along with the public lot prices and the state's tax publication.
