What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, unacceptable or incomplete design submittals may need to be resubmitted. This applies to conceptual design, schematic design, and mock-up room submittals. Hyatt will issue a formal review before the franchisee can move on to the next step in the design process.
Specifically, Hyatt reviews the design documents for compliance with the Design and Construction Standards and the Preliminary Area Program. If items do not comply or are not aesthetically acceptable, Hyatt will return them to the franchisee with a written explanation. The franchisee may then need to resubmit the designs until they meet Hyatt's standards.
This process is crucial for ensuring that each The Standardx hotel aligns with the brand's established image and quality standards. Franchisees should factor in the potential time and costs associated with resubmitting designs when planning their project timeline and budget. Paying close attention to the Design and Construction Standards from the outset can help minimize the need for revisions and ensure a smoother approval process.
