According to Embassy Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 4 Embassy Suites hotels operating in Louisiana at the beginning of 2022. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the number of hotels at the start of the year, hotels opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of hotels at the end of the year for each state.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing market presence of Embassy Suites in Louisiana at that time. It's important to note that no new hotels opened, and no hotels closed during 2022, so the number of hotels remained constant throughout the year. This information is useful for understanding the stability and potential growth opportunities within the state.
This data is typically included in FDDs to provide transparency to potential franchisees regarding the brand's performance and network size in different regions. Reviewing historical data over several years, as presented in the table, can give a more comprehensive view of the brand's growth trajectory and market dynamics. Franchisees should further investigate the occupancy rates, revenue per available room (RevPAR), and other performance metrics for these hotels to assess their profitability and competitive positioning.
