What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 237 total Embassy Suites hotels operating at the end of 2024. This number includes both franchised and company-owned hotels.
The FDD provides a table that breaks down the number of hotels at the start and end of each year, as well as the net change. For 2024, the table shows that there were 236 hotels at the start of the year and 237 at the end, indicating a net increase of one hotel during the year.
For prospective franchisees, this information offers a snapshot of the brand's recent growth. A consistent increase in the number of hotels, even if small, might suggest a stable or growing brand. Franchisees should further investigate the reasons behind the net change (e.g., new openings vs. closures) to understand the dynamics of the Embassy Suites system.
