What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Atwell Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, the provided data pertains to the total number of franchised hotels within the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) system, not specifically the Atwell Suites brand. The table includes figures for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024, detailing the number of franchised hotels at the beginning of each year, new franchises added, franchises removed, and the total number of franchised hotels at the end of each year.
In 2023, there were 4,160 franchised hotels at the beginning of the year. During that year, 99 new franchises were added, and 41 franchises were removed, resulting in a total of 4,218 franchised hotels by the end of 2023.
It is important to note that these numbers reflect the entire IHG portfolio and not just the Atwell Suites brand. The FDD does not provide a breakdown of the number of Atwell Suites hotels specifically. A prospective franchisee should ask Atwell Suites directly for the number of Atwell Suites franchised hotels operating at the beginning of 2023 to get a clear picture of the brand's size and growth.
