If the Hotel is damaged by any casualty, what is the obligation of the Owner to Delta Hotels By Marriott?

According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Hotel is damaged by any casualty, the Owner must promptly notify Delta Hotels By Marriott. Furthermore, the Owner is obligated to renovate and reopen the Hotel if and as required under Section 21.2 of the Franchise Agreement. This places a clear responsibility on the Owner to take immediate action and restore the Hotel to operational status following any damage caused by a casualty.

This obligation ensures that the Delta Hotels By Marriott brand maintains its standards and reputation, as the franchisor requires the Hotel to be renovated and reopened in a timely manner. The specific requirements for renovation and reopening would be detailed in Section 21.2 of the Franchise Agreement, which is not included in this excerpt.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review Section 21.2 of the Franchise Agreement to understand the full scope of their responsibilities in the event of property damage, including the timeline for renovation, the required standards for restoration, and any potential financial implications. Understanding these obligations is crucial for assessing the potential risks and costs associated with operating a Delta Hotels By Marriott franchise.
