A new report from government watchdog Accountable.US revealed today that five out of six major hotel operators involved in a “major class action” lawsuit for alleged price-fixing violations are among the worst offenders when it comes to resort fees and have faced various lawsuits and scrutiny for their resort and junk fee practices.
Hilton, Wyndham, Hyatt, Omni Hotels, Choice Hotels, and Four Seasons stand accused of exploiting G3 RMS, an artificial intelligence algorithm, to illegally collude in price fixing their room rates, in violation of federal antitrust law. All six hotels are represented on the board of directors of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the “largest hotel association in the U.S.,” which has spent nearly $3 million while lobbying against fee disclosure legislation since 2022.
