What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites By Hilton's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment for a new hotel, estimated between $6,000,000 and $9,000,000, depends on several factors. These include the number and type of guest rooms, such as the ratio of double rooms to king rooms, and the extent of food and beverage services offered, including restaurants, lounges, and supporting facilities. The estimate covers furniture, fixtures, and equipment for guest rooms, corridors, all public areas, kitchen equipment, laundry equipment, and telephone systems.
For franchisees converting an existing hotel to an Embassy Suites By Hilton, the costs will likely be lower than those for new construction. However, these franchisees must still ensure that guest rooms, public areas, the exterior, and all other areas conform to Embassy Suites By Hilton's Brand Standards.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these variables and their specific business plan when estimating furnishing costs. The FDD advises franchisees to independently investigate the cost of all items to understand how they will specifically affect their investment.
