I’ve had this in Barcelona even when booking a hotel directly through its website.

It was advertised up-front but unsure if there was any reason they couldn’t roll it up into the fee. Maybe it is a separate city-issued POS?

Or maybe a tax thing: if the hotel collected it, they’d have to charge VAT, but not if the booker pays it direct?

Mandatory "resort fees" are pretty common at some types of properties in the US and they're often not very clearly spelled out up-front.
