What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated range for training tuition is $5,700 to $7,100. This tuition covers the Continuing Education Fee, the general manager's attendance at the required Hospitality Management Program, and the cost for up to three days of required Opening Training. The high end of the range accounts for an additional representative attending and paying tuition for the Hospitality Management Program.
This range also includes travel costs. The lower end assumes the general manager/owner will drive to the Hospitality Management Program, incurring minimal travel costs and mid-level travel and entertainment expenses. It also covers facilitator travel and entertainment for up to three days of Opening Training. The higher end of the range accounts for an additional representative attending the Hospitality Management Program and incurring significant travel and entertainment costs, including airfare and car rental.
Prospective Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham franchisees should consider these costs when planning their initial investment. The actual amount may vary depending on the number of representatives attending the training and the distance they must travel. It is important to note that these fees are to be incurred before opening.
