Thirteen of the 23 Dallas hotels on our site charge a nightly destination, resort or amenity fee. It runs from $18.48 at the Magnolia Hotel Downtown Dallas to $50 at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek (per the hotel's own site). Eight of the 13 are in Uptown and Victory Park, where we cover 11 hotels, and five are among the 12 in Downtown Dallas. We read 32 more in Fort Worth, Arlington and Grapevine, and only three of those charge one, at $18 to $28 a night.
We read the booking screens of all 54 hotels in Chrome, pricing one room for one night unless we say otherwise. Most were read on 27 October for Wednesday 11 November. The rest were read on 3 and 4 November, mostly for 17 November. Some engines show a fee only in a price breakdown, and some, Choice and ResNexus among them, only once a room is in the cart, so we opened those too and never typed a name into any of them. This page quotes no room rates or tax rates.
Across the 54, 16 hotels charge one of those three fees, a flat amount every night, and 14 of them call it a destination fee. Smaller lines, such as recovery fees and Hilton's percentages, aren't in that count. Taxes and public improvement district assessments don't count as fees. The tax rates, and how each screen printed them, are in our Dallas and Fort Worth hotel tax guide.
On 9 November we went back to three screens. The Magnolia's we read for 17 November. Hôtel Swexan and Hotel Crescent Court both answered a one-night search for the 17th with "Your check-in/check-out combination is not available", so we read them for 24 November. All three printed the same destination fee as before: $18.48, $45 and $40. When we tried The Adolphus, Autograph Collection that day, marriott.com answered Access Denied, and we didn't try its other hotels. The eight Marriott-family fees on this page rest on the 27 October reads.
Eight of 11 Uptown and Victory Park hotels charge a flat nightly fee, $30 to $50
The Rosewood tops Uptown and Victory Park at $50 a night before tax, a figure from the hotel's own policy page. Its booking screen, read on 3 November, folds the fee into the nightly price and never prints the amount. Valet is $80 a night, and the hotel lists EV charging stations.
Hôtel Swexan charges $45 a night. For that you get a house car within 3 miles, a lobby social hour and morning coffee, a welcome amenity and water, group fitness classes, entry to the Samurai Collection museum, two items pressed daily, a shoeshine, and 15 percent off food and non-alcoholic drinks at Harwood Hospitality restaurants outside the hotel. Parking is valet, with no guest rate published (the $10 per vehicle is for diners), and there's no on-site EV charging. The screen also listed a Tourism Fee and a State Cost Recovery Fee beside the taxes.
At The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, every rate carries the line "Includes 40 USD Destination Fee", so the $40 is already inside the pre-tax price Marriott shows. We can't tell you what it buys, because we never read that on a Marriott screen. Valet in the underground garage is $70 a day and is the only parking listed. Day-use or event parking is $25 a visit.
Hotel Crescent Court charges a $40 destination fee plus tax on every rate except two of its own packages, Cyber Savings and Red River Retreat, which waive it. The fee covers the spa facilities, the pool, the fitness center, guestroom Wi-Fi, morning coffee in the lobby, group exercise classes and access to The Crescent Club. On 27 October its screen refused 11 November as a single night, so that first read was for 18 to 20 November. Overnight valet is $70 plus tax with in and out. Independent self-park is charged by the hour, capped at $25 a night, with no in and out.
W Dallas - Victory is $35 a night, inside the pre-tax rate on Marriott's screen, and its valet is off-site at $70 a day. The Stoneleigh, Autograph Collection is $30 on the same terms. It's valet only: $12 for up to 4 hours, $18 for 4 to 8 hours and $55 a day for 8 hours or more. There's no EV charging.
Hotel ZaZa Dallas Uptown charges $35 a night, which its own booking screen calls an AMENITY FEE. We priced it for 17 to 19 November, since a one-night search for the 17th came back "2 night minimum length of stay is required". The group policy page, which covers all four ZaZa hotels, says an amenity fee applies to each room night and prints no amounts. It also calls ZaZa "a valet parking only facility." The Dallas FAQ says valet is charged per vehicle and varies with the length of stay, and neither page gives a price.
Virgin Hotels Dallas advertises a nightly price that "Includes Destination Fee". On a one-night quote for 17 November, the Price Breakdown dialog itemized a $35 Destination Fee with $6 of tax on it. We have no confirmed parking rate for the hotel.
The other three in the area charge no such fee. Hyatt House Dallas/Uptown has covered self-parking on site at $35 a day plus tax. Accor's screen for the Fairmont Dallas adds a tourism tax and a tourism fee on top of room tax, but no resort fee. Its valet is $60 plus tax a night with unlimited in and out, though the hotel's page says $56. At the SpringHill Suites Dallas Downtown/West End, valet is off-site, $44 a day, paid through an app.
In Downtown Dallas, five of 12 charge $18.48 to $35 a night
The Joule is highest in Downtown Dallas at $35 a night, and its booking screen itemizes it. Our first read, on 27 October, missed the price breakdown link. The 3 November read, for 17 November, found a price marked "INCLUDING ALL FEES" and a DESTINATION FEE line of $35 in the breakdown. Valet at the 1530 Main Street entrance is $68 overnight per the hotel's FAQ, and daily visitors pay $20.
The three Marriott-family fees here sit inside the rate Marriott lists. Dallas Marriott Downtown is $30, with valet at $57 a night excluding tax ($67 for vehicles over 6 feet 7 inches). Sheraton Dallas Hotel is $25, and so is the Adolphus. The Sheraton has self-parking on site at $30 a day, valet at $55 and EV charging. It is the only one of the 13 Dallas hotels with a fee where we found self-parking listed on site.
The Adolphus has no self-parking. Valet there is $68 overnight from 1 October, per the hotel's FAQ, or $26 for a day, and oversized pricing may vary. The Magnolia, the low end at $18.48, has overnight valet at $45 a night.
The other seven printed no fee. The Lorenzo Hotel Dallas, Tapestry Collection by Hilton has self-parking at $20 overnight in its lot or lower-level garage, with in and out and no valet. The Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown has self-parking at $24 a night in the attached covered garage. Those are the two lowest overnight parking rates we have at any of the 23 Dallas hotels. The Omni Dallas Hotel and The Westin Dallas Downtown offer both kinds: $30 to self-park overnight and $40 for valet at the Omni, $38 a day and $60 at the Westin.
The Statler Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton and the Renaissance Saint Elm Dallas Downtown Hotel have valet, and neither lists on-site self-parking. The Statler charges $60 a night plus tax, the Renaissance $55 a day at an off-site garage. The Hyatt Regency Dallas has self-parking at $30 overnight in the outdoor Radish Lot, and its FAQ says the hotel charges no resort or destination fee.
In Dallas, fee and valet together come to $63.48 to $130 a night
Add just the fee to the published valet rate and the Rosewood comes to $130 a night. The Ritz-Carlton comes to $110, and so does Crescent Court on any rate that carries its fee. The W Dallas comes to $105, the Joule $103, the Adolphus $93, the Dallas Marriott Downtown $87, the Stoneleigh $85 and the Sheraton $80. The Magnolia is $63.48. Swexan, ZaZa and Virgin publish no valet rate we could find. Self-park instead and the Sheraton comes to $55, and Crescent Court to $65 at its independent self-park's $25 cap. Taxes and recovery lines go on top of all of these, and several hotels don't say whether their valet rate includes tax.
Downtown Fort Worth: a $20 fee at one hotel, and valet up to $69 a day
The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel charges a $20 Destination Fee, inside the rate on Marriott's screen. None of the other 10 we read in Downtown Fort Worth has a flat nightly fee. Self-parking at the Worthington is $39 a day and valet $55.
Valet is the only way to park at the Hilton Fort Worth, $69 a day, and at the Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown Hotel, $48. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Worth Downtown is the same at $59 a night. The Sinclair, Autograph Collection, the Courtyard by Marriott Fort Worth Downtown/Blackstone and Le Meridien Fort Worth Downtown list only a valet rate: $57, $49 and $59 a day.
At the Aloft Fort Worth Downtown valet and self-parking are both $37 a day, and at the AC Hotel Fort Worth Downtown both are $59. The Kimpton Harper Hotel lists self-parking at $45 a day and valet at $55, per IHG's page. For the Omni Fort Worth Hotel we found no on-site self-parking. A city garage next door charges $22 a vehicle with no in and out, and Omni's directions page lists overnight valet at $48 plus tax.
Five Grapevine hotels let you park free, and the Gaylord Texan charges $28
Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center has a $28 Resort Fee, the only flat nightly fee among the nine hotels we read in Grapevine. Marriott's screen shows it inside the rate as "Includes 28 USD Resort Fee", and the resort's rooms page says in-room Wi-Fi comes with it. Self-parking is $29 a day ($17 an hour) and valet $49, per Marriott's page for the resort. If you self-park, fee and parking come to $57 a night.
Five of the other eight let you park free: the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine, the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine, the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine, the Hyatt Place Dallas/Grapevine and the Hilton Garden Inn Grapevine at Silverlake Crossing. The Hilton Garden Inn also has EV charging on site, and no valet. You pay to self-park at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Grapevine DFW Airport North, $20 a day, and at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Dallas-DFW Airport N-Grapevine, $12, and neither has valet. Hotel Vin, Autograph Collection charges $24 a day to self-park, or $1 an hour, and valet is $39.
Caravan Court's $18 fee in Arlington includes Wi-Fi
Of the seven hotels we read in the Arlington Entertainment District, only Caravan Court Hotel charges a destination, resort or amenity fee. The General Policy text in its booking engine puts the destination fee at $18 per room per night. That covers high-speed Wi-Fi and the 24-hour fitness center, and the policy adds concierge assistance. Parking is valet only, $45 a night plus applicable taxes and gratuity, so fee and valet come to $63 a night before anything else on the bill.
Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington's screen showed one "Room total with tax" and no fee line, and parking there is free during the stay, per the hotel's site.
The Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington/Entertainment District has self-parking at $10 a day on site, and so does the Holiday Inn Arlington NE (Rangers Ballpark), in an outdoor lot for registered guests only. The Loews Arlington Hotel has self-parking at $29 a night plus tax in the convention center garage a quarter mile away, and valet at $39 a car per night plus tax. A $1.99 one-time processing fee may apply to self-park, and event-day rates vary. Its one-night quote itemized a $7 "Tourism Assessment Fee" with the occupancy taxes, and we count it with taxes. The Comfort Suites Arlington - Entertainment District has an outdoor lot and lists bus parking, with no price.
Stockyards parking runs $20 to $57.38 a day, with no nightly fee at any hotel we read
Hotel Drover, Autograph Collection posts the highest parking rate in the Fort Worth Stockyards: valet at $57.38 a day. Self-parking at the Drover means a paid spot elsewhere in the Stockyards, with no rate and no lot named. The Hyatt Place Fort Worth Historic Stockyards has self-parking from $20 a night per car, and prices can rise for special events. At the Courtyard Fort Worth Historic Stockyards self-parking and valet are both $25 a day. The SpringHill Suites Fort Worth Historic Stockyards charges $20 a day or $10 an hour to self-park, and $25 for valet.
Miss Molly's Hotel has no designated parking. A pay lot sits behind the buildings next to it, price not stated, and you can park free at the curb outside restricted zones. The hotel's booking cart, read on 4 November for 19 November (17 November had no vacancy), added only the hotel tax.
The smaller lines we don't count as resort fees
Hôtel Swexan and the Magnolia print a State Cost Recovery Fee, and the amount changed between our two reads at each. Hotel Crescent Court prints a 1 percent State Cost-Recovery Fee. ZaZa's State Recovery Fee comes to $2.50 a night on its screen, and Virgin's screen printed $4 on a one-night quote. Caravan Court's policy text puts its state cost recovery fee at $4.75 per room per night. The Rosewood's own policy page lists a $5.25 nightly Texas State Recovery Fee, excluding tax. None of these is in the 16.
Hotel ZaZa's screen also printed a credit card processing fee of $25 on the two-night stay we priced. Crescent Court's printed a Credit Card Convenience Fee, which its policy page puts at 3 percent of all charges.
Five Hilton-family screens carry a banner reading "Daily Mandatory Charge includes: Texas Recovery Fee", with a line saying the price includes a percentage "mandatory charge per stay, but excludes taxes and government charges". The Embassy Suites in Fort Worth shows 0.53 percent and the Hilton Fort Worth 0.75. In Grapevine it's 0.98 percent at the Embassy Suites and 0.53 at the Homewood Suites. The Hilton Garden Inn shows 0.65 percent. We read it for 5 November, because 11 and 18 November showed no rooms. Because it's a percentage, it grows with the room rate and with every extra night. The screen prints no dollar amount, and the charge is already inside the price Hilton shows.
Choice's screen at the Comfort Suites Arlington names a $3.99 Hotel Service Fee per room per night, inside the rate it displays. The Kimpton Harper's fee is a percentage: its screen applies a 4.5 percent Texas Green Energy Fee to each night's rate. It also lists a $100 per night hold. IHG's screen at the Holiday Inn Arlington NE lists a $1.90 nightly line among the taxes, outside the rate.
Our Houston and Atlanta guides counted any mandatory charge apart from tax that a screen printed, Hilton's percentages included, so their counts run on a wider rule than the 16 here.
Five hotels we haven't confirmed
Four more hotels on our site are in none of the counts above, because we haven't confirmed their fees on the hotel's own booking screen: The Ashton Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth, Hotel Texas in the Stockyards, The Sanford House Inn & Spa in Arlington, and Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine.
