What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisee has a limited time frame to respond to an offer from Hilton. Specifically, after receiving 'Our Offer' in writing from Hilton Franchise Holding LLC to purchase or lease the Marketed Interest, the franchisee has twenty (20) days to either accept or reject the offer. If the franchisee does not respond within this 20-day period, the offer is considered rejected.
This 20-day window is a critical period for the franchisee. During this time, they must carefully evaluate the terms of 'Our Offer', which should be equal to or greater than the price stated in the initial notice and on substantially similar or more favorable terms. If the offer meets these criteria, the franchisee is obligated to accept it. Failure to accept within the stipulated timeframe results in a rejection of the offer.
If the Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisee accepts 'Our Offer' within the 20-day period, both parties will then enter into an agreement to complete the transaction. This completion must occur within sixty (60) days of the franchisee's written acceptance, during which the franchisee is prohibited from offering the hotel or hotel site to any third party. This entire process underscores the importance of prompt and thorough evaluation of any offer received from Hilton.
