What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 235 total Embassy Suites hotels at the start of 2023. This number includes both franchised and company-owned hotels. Specifically, there were 235 franchised hotels and 0 company-owned hotels at the beginning of 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing scale and market presence of the Embassy Suites brand. It shows the number of established locations already operating under the franchise system. The fact that all hotels are franchised means that Embassy Suites does not operate any of its own locations, which is a common arrangement in franchising.
It is important to note that this number reflects the total number of hotels at the start of the year. The number of hotels can change throughout the year due to new openings, terminations, or other factors. The FDD also provides details on these changes, which can give a more complete picture of the brand's growth and stability.
