What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Delta Hotels By Marriott Franchise Disclosure Document, when a Delta Hotels By Marriott location includes retail space, the franchise agreement requires the franchisee to identify any shared components between the hotel and the retail space. This is part of a broader set of disclosures the franchisee must make regarding any third-party businesses operating within the same building as the hotel.
Delta Hotels By Marriott requires that any additional businesses, including retail spaces, within the hotel building be pre-approved by the franchisor. These businesses must adhere to specific standards to ensure they do not disrupt the hotel's operations, negatively impact the brand's reputation, or compromise public health and safety. The additional businesses must be presented as separate from the Delta Hotels By Marriott system and cannot integrate the hotel's intellectual property into their operations or marketing. Signage for these businesses within the hotel also requires the franchisor's approval.
Any parts of the additional businesses that are visible from or shared with the Delta Hotels By Marriott must comply with the brand's standards, and their design must be approved by the franchisor. These businesses must also maintain a level of operation consistent with the high standards of the hotel. Delta Hotels By Marriott retains the right to inspect these businesses to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement. For insurance purposes, the additional businesses are considered part of the hotel, and the franchisor must be included as an additional named insured on all insurance policies for these businesses.
