What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero company-owned hotels open at the start of 2024. The provided table tracks the number of franchised and company-owned hotels from 2022 through 2024. For each of those years, the number of company-owned hotels at both the start and end of the year remained at zero.
This indicates that Embassy Suites primarily operates under a franchise model, with no company-owned locations during this period. A prospective franchisee should be aware that the performance data presented in the FDD will likely be based on franchised locations, as there are no company-owned stores to provide data from.
The absence of company-owned locations could mean that potential franchisees may not be able to directly observe the Embassy Suites business model in operation by the company itself. It is important for potential franchisees to thoroughly review the performance data of existing franchised locations and speak with current franchisees to gain a comprehensive understanding of the business.
