What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites By Hilton's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of hotels at the end of 2022 was 235. This number includes both franchised and company-owned hotels. The number of franchised hotels at the end of 2022 was 235, while the number of company-owned hotels remained at 0.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the overall size and composition of the Embassy Suites By Hilton system. The fact that all hotels are franchised suggests that the brand's growth strategy relies heavily on franchising rather than corporate ownership. This may mean that Embassy Suites By Hilton is committed to supporting its franchisees.
It's important to note that these figures reflect the total number of hotels operating under the Embassy Suites By Hilton brand as of the end of 2022. These numbers do not account for hotels that may have been in development or under construction but not yet opened. A prospective franchisee should consider these figures in conjunction with other data in the FDD, such as information on hotel openings, closures, and transfers, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the brand's performance and growth trends.
