So I am looking at prices online for hotels in Paris. I haven't been able to figure out if the taxes and fees are included in the posted prices. If I look at hotels.com or if I look at the actual hotel website I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. Does anyone know what the norm is for Paris? Right now I'm just assuming there will be an extra charge when I get to the hotel, am I wrong???? Thanks in advance for any help!

The tax added to your hotel bill in Paris is small, something like 68 cents a day.

What Swan said, it's a bit less than one percent of the price of the room. You won't even be able to spot it if you pay by credit card since it'll look like only a minuscule currency conversion fluctuation.

The standard practice in Europe is to include taxes and fees in the posted price. About the only add-on you'll run into is a charge for breakfast, unless your hotel includes breakfast for free. Also, the price tag in European stores always includes the taxes. If only American merchants would adopt this practice!
