What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero hotels in Illinois that ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor during 2024. The FDD provides a table outlining the number of hotels that ceased operations for 'other reasons' on a state-by-state basis.
Specifically, the table shows that for Illinois in 2024, there were 9 hotels at the start of the year, zero hotels opened, zero terminations, zero non-renewals, zero re acquisitions by the franchisor, and zero hotels that ceased operations for other reasons. This resulted in 9 hotels at the end of the year.
This data point is important for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of Embassy Suites hotels in Illinois. A history of hotels closing for reasons other than the typical end of a franchise agreement could indicate underlying issues with the brand or market in that area. The absence of such closures in Illinois for 2024 suggests a stable market for Embassy Suites.
