What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites By Hilton's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, across all states in 2024, the brand did not reacquire any hotels from franchisees. However, in Colorado and Texas, one hotel in each state was reacquired by the franchisor.
Specifically, the data reveals that in Colorado, the number of hotels at the start of 2024 was 8, and after one termination, the number at the end of the year was 7. In Texas, the number of hotels at the start of 2024 was 30, with one termination occurring during the year, resulting in 30 hotels at the end of the year.
This information is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and relationship between Embassy Suites By Hilton and its franchisees. A high number of reacquired or terminated franchises could indicate potential issues with the franchise model or franchisee support. However, in this case, the numbers appear relatively low, suggesting a stable franchise system. Prospective franchisees should still investigate the reasons behind any terminations or non-renewals to fully understand the dynamics of the franchise network.
