What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for furniture, fixtures, and equipment when converting an existing hotel to a Premier Hotel (120-room) ranges from $0 to $3,415,500. This wide range suggests that the actual costs can vary significantly based on the existing condition and quality of the hotel's furnishings. These costs are payable to suppliers, as agreed upon.
Bw Premier Collection notes that these are only estimates, and the actual costs may differ substantially depending on the type, condition, age, physical structure, and quality of furnishing of the existing hotel. The building construction, material, and labor costs applicable to the geographic area also play a role in the final amount.
Prospective franchisees should conduct their own independent investigation of these costs before signing a Distribution Agreement. This due diligence is crucial to understanding the potential financial commitment required to meet Bw Premier Collection's standards. The FDD recommends consulting with contractors and suppliers to get accurate quotes based on the specific needs of the hotel being converted.
