Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2025

This bill requires hotels, short-term rentals (like Airbnb), and online booking platforms to display the **total price** of a room - including all mandatory service fees - before customers book. It prohibits hiding fees in ads or checkout, mandating clear upfront disclosure of taxes, government fees, and mandatory charges. The law applies to temporary lodging (excluding meeting rooms or catering) and exempts optional add-ons like spa services. Violations can be enforced by the FTC or state attorneys general, with the rule taking effect 450 days after enactment.
