What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after receiving the transferee's application for a transfer, Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham will provide a required Property Improvement Plan (PIP). This PIP outlines the renovations and upgrades the transferee must complete to meet the brand's standards.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they plan to transfer their Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham franchise to a new owner, the new owner will need to submit an application. Once Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham receives this application, they will conduct an assessment of the property and provide a PIP detailing any necessary improvements.
The transferee will likely be responsible for the costs associated with the PIP. The FDD states that the transferee must agree to renovate the Facility as if it were an existing facility converting to the System, as Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham reasonably determines. This ensures that the facility aligns with the brand's current standards and maintains consistency across all Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham locations.
