to in the Franchise Agreement or PIP, which is set on a project-by-project basis. For all projects (including New Development, Conversion, Re-Licensing, Change of Ownership, or room addition project), you must complete the construction or renovation work by the date we have agreed to in the Franchise Agreement or PIP, which is set on a project-by-project basis. If you wish to request an extension of any start date or completion date for your project, you must submit a written request
before that date occurs. If we approve your request, you must pay the extension fee and we will set new project start and completion dates accordingly.
However, in New Development or Conversion projects the start date and completion date will be extended by 30 days on a rolling basis automatically without a fee unless we provide at least 60 days' notice to you that these automatic extensions will end. At that point, if you wish to request any further extension, you must submit a written request before the relevant date occurs. If we approve your request, you must pay the extension fee and we will set new project start and completion dates accordingly. These automatic extensions will not apply to any Relicensing, Change of Ownership, or room addition projects.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must complete construction or renovation work by the date agreed upon in the Franchise Agreement or Property Improvement Plan (PIP), which is determined on a project-by-project basis. To request an extension of the completion date, a franchisee must submit a written request before the existing deadline. If Embassy Suites approves the extension, the franchisee must pay an extension fee, and new project start and completion dates will be set accordingly.
For New Development or Conversion projects, Embassy Suites offers some flexibility. The start and completion dates for these projects will be extended by 30 days on a rolling basis automatically without a fee. However, Embassy Suites can end these automatic extensions by providing at least 60 days' notice. After the automatic extensions end, any further extension requests must be submitted in writing before the relevant date, and if approved, will require the payment of an extension fee.
It's important to note that these automatic extensions do not apply to Relicensing, Change of Ownership, or room addition projects. For these types of projects, any extension request will require a written submission and is subject to an extension fee upon approval. This policy ensures that Embassy Suites maintains control over project timelines while providing some flexibility for new developments and conversions.
