What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, maintaining a passing Quality Assurance (QA) assessment rating is a requirement throughout the agreement term. If a Bw Premier Collection hotel fails to achieve a passing QA assessment, it will be reassessed within, on, or about ninety (90) days without prior notice. Additionally, the hotel will be responsible for paying a QA reassessment fee.
Bw Premier Collection assesses hotels at least once every twelve months to ensure the quality of guest experience and the condition of the hotel. The assessment may be unannounced, and if the assessor needs overnight lodging, it should be provided free of charge. Failure of the assessment may lead to additional requirements and fees, and Bw Premier Collection may terminate the agreement with cause. The hotel must correct any identified issues promptly.
The QA reassessment fee is a cost recovery fee of $2,100, and the hotel must also provide a free room night to the QA inspector. This fee is separate from the annual QA assessment fee, which is also $2,100 plus a free room night for the inspector. These fees are part of the costs associated with maintaining the standards required by Bw Premier Collection and ensuring a consistent guest experience across all franchise locations.
