Specifically, Hilton Worldwide Franchising LP (HWF) offers franchises outside the US, and currently in Canada, Russia, and a limited number of other territories. Hilton Worldwide Manage Limited (HWML) has offered franchises outside the US since January 1, 2018, except in Brazil, Canada, China, Russia, Thailand, and a limited number of other territories.
The brands offered by HWF and HWML include Conrad, Curio, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Hampton, Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Waldorf Astoria, Canopy (since first offered on October 15, 2014), Tru (first offered on June 30, 2016), and Tapestry (first offered on December 1, 2016), LXR (first offered on July 1, 2018), Motto (first offered on June 28, 2019), Spark (first offered on April 1, 2023), Tempo (first offered on June 28, 2023), and LivSmart Studios (first offered on August 1, 2023).
This means that while the Embassy Suites franchise described in the FDD is for the US market, potential franchisees should be aware that Hilton Worldwide's affiliates operate internationally and offer a wide range of brands. This could present both opportunities and competitive considerations for franchisees looking to expand or diversify their investments within the Hilton portfolio.
