What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the length of the license term depends on the type of hotel opening. Specifically, for a conversion hotel, the license term is 10 years or more from the date the hotel opens within the Even Hotels Brand System.
This means that if you convert an existing hotel to an Even Hotels franchise, the initial term of your franchise agreement will be at least 10 years. The actual length of the term may be longer, as the FDD states "10 years or more".
It is important to note that the Even Hotels license agreement does not provide for renewals or extensions. If you wish to continue operating the Even Hotels franchise after the initial term, you may be asked to sign a new agreement with potentially different terms and conditions.
