What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 258 Embassy Suites hotels operating in the United States as of December 31, 2024. Of these, 220 were classified as "Comparable Hotels", meaning they met specific criteria such as being active for at least one full calendar year and not undergoing significant changes or damage. Within the comparable hotels, 32 were managed by Hilton Worldwide or its affiliates (Company-Managed), while 188 were managed by franchisees or a non-Hilton management company (Franchisee-Managed).
The FDD uses the term "Comparable Hotels" to provide a consistent basis for year-over-year financial performance comparisons. These hotels have not experienced significant changes that could skew the data. This allows prospective franchisees to review performance data from a relatively stable set of hotels.
It is important to note that the financial performance data presented in Item 19 of the FDD is specifically for these 220 Comparable Hotels. The FDD further breaks down the comparable hotels into "New Generation Comparable Hotels", which are hotels opened during or after 2015, representing the most recent prototype of the Embassy Suites brand. This detailed categorization helps potential franchisees understand the performance variations between different types of Embassy Suites hotels.
