What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all new prospective hotel owners must complete an application and submit a $4,000 application fee. This fee is payable as a lump sum when the application is submitted for processing.
This application fee is generally non-refundable, as stated in the explanatory notes of Item 7. However, the Impact Study Fee, which ranges from $0 to $4,000, is refundable if Bw Premier Collection denies the application for any reason.
It is important to note that the application fee is separate from the $25,000 affiliation fee, which is due prior to the execution of the Distribution Agreement. These initial fees are part of the estimated initial investment required to convert an existing hotel to a Bw Premier Collection Premier Hotel or Signature Hotel.
