What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, under Option B, the licensee principal correspondent certifies that the building and building site have been built, renovated, or altered in compliance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This includes compliance with any other applicable accessibility laws, ordinances, or requirements. This certification is based on the best of the licensee's knowledge, information, and belief.
This certification is part of Even Hotels' broader effort to comply with accessibility standards, including the brand's own standards for travelers with disabilities and InterContinental Hotels Group's (IHG) design and construction standards. These standards mandate adherence to Title III of the ADA, incorporating the 1991 and/or 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
For franchisees, this means that after construction or renovation, they must ensure that the Even Hotels property meets all ADA requirements. The licensee's signature on the post-construction or post-renovation certification indicates their assurance that the property complies with these accessibility laws. This places a significant responsibility on the franchisee to understand and implement the necessary accessibility measures during the building or renovation process.
