Embassy_Suites Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
In compiling these estimates we relied on Hilton's 60+ years of experience in operating or franchising hotels. With respect to an eforea spa, we relied on Hilton's experience over the last 6 years in operating eforea spas in the US. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase the franchise. The expenses shown in these charts are for typical New Development and Conversion hotels of the type and size shown. In a Conversion, your costs will depend on the type and condition of your existing hotel, its age, physical structure and quality of furnishing. Because there are so many variables involving any particular existing hotel, we can give no average cost.
