What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bw Premier Collection FDD, the amenities a hotel must maintain are determined by Best Western International (BWI) and should be consistent with the hotel's competitive set. This means that Bw Premier Collection hotels need to offer amenities that are comparable to those offered by their competitors in the same market.
This requirement ensures that Bw Premier Collection hotels remain competitive and meet guest expectations. For a prospective franchisee, this means they need to research the amenities offered by competing hotels in their area and be prepared to invest in providing similar amenities. It also means that BWI has the authority to mandate specific amenities to maintain brand standards and competitiveness.
In addition to maintaining amenities, Bw Premier Collection hotels must also provide paid or complimentary breakfast to guests, as determined by the hotel, with requirements consistent with the hotel's competitive set and guidelines established by BWI. This further emphasizes the importance of understanding the local market and competitive landscape when operating a Bw Premier Collection hotel.
