What is a prospective Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisee encouraged to do before executing the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Embassy Suites By Hilton Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees are encouraged to independently investigate the costs of all items that will specifically affect their investment before executing the Franchise Agreement. This is particularly important because construction and renovation costs can vary significantly based on factors like location, materials, labor, and compliance requirements.

For new developments, building construction costs differ from region to region due to material and labor costs. For conversions, renovation costs depend on the age and condition of the facility, code compliance, fire and safety systems, the use of the existing facility, and the state of furniture, fixtures, equipment, and finishes relative to Embassy Suites By Hilton's Brand Standards.

By conducting their own due diligence, potential Embassy Suites By Hilton franchisees can gain a clearer understanding of the financial commitments involved and make informed decisions about their investment. This independent investigation helps in tailoring the investment to their specific circumstances, considering the unique variables associated with their chosen location and the condition of the property, whether it's a new development or a conversion.
