According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, there are specific requirements for how notices must be delivered to the franchisor or guarantor. For notices of default, termination, or threatened litigation, the franchisee must deliver the notice in person, by prepaid overnight courier delivery service, by prepaid overnight U.S. mail, or by prepaid certified U.S. mail with return-receipt requested if overnight delivery is unavailable. These notices to Embassy Suites must be sent to Hilton Franchise Holding LLC, Attention: General Counsel, at 7930 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 1100, McLean, VA 22102.
For other notices, a party may send the notice by any of the methods described above or by email. Franchisees can send these notices to Embassy Suites at Legal.Development@hilton.com or another email address that Embassy Suites may designate. Embassy Suites may send these notices to the email address designated for the franchisee's Principal Legal Correspondent (PLC) or to the email address for other persons the franchisee designates for these notices.
Notices of default and termination are deemed effective on the earlier of receipt or first refusal of delivery; one day after posting if sent by overnight commercial delivery service or overnight U.S. Mail; or three days after placement in U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested. For a guarantor to change their notice address, they must notify Embassy Suites in writing following the delivery procedures outlined in the FDD.
