What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for renovation work when converting an existing hotel to a Bw Premier Collection hotel ranges from $0 to $2,677,500. These costs are payable to contractors as agreed upon by the franchisee and the contractor.
The FDD notes that whether or not renovation work is required depends on the type, condition, age, and physical structure of the existing hotel. The document explicitly states that renovation costs can vary significantly, and the provided figures are merely estimates. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own independent investigation of actual costs before signing a Distribution Agreement.
This wide range reflects the variability in the condition of hotels that might convert to the Bw Premier Collection brand. A hotel in excellent condition might require minimal renovations, while a more run-down property could need extensive work to meet Bw Premier Collection's standards. Factors such as building construction, material costs, and labor costs in the hotel's geographic area will also impact the final renovation expenses. It is important to note that these costs are estimates only and are non-refundable.
