Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Hampton by Hilton's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Initial franchise fee
Total initial investment$15,218,226$22,193,244

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 89% of hospitality franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (49 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against hospitality brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
9 CASES
5 pending actions (incl. antitrust class actions re: revenue-management software with IDeaS/SAS/Amadeus/STR, and individual franchisee disputes) and 4 concluded actions (incl. Texas and Nebraska mandatory guest-fee-disclosure settlements, and older cases).
TERRITORY
Limited - franchisor/affiliates may operate competing lodging brands (not Hampton-branded) within the restricted area; not a fully exclusive territory
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a Hampton by Hilton franchise cost?

Hampton by Hilton's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $15M–$22M. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee is not a single figure: $100,000 (new development/conversion, +$400/room over 150 rooms); $200,000 for change of ownership; $100,000 for re-licensing

What royalty does Hampton by Hilton charge?

Hampton by Hilton charges a continuing royalty of 6% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 4% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Facts on this page are sourced from Hampton by Hilton's Franchise Disclosure Document.

Item 7 total investment figures are for ground-up construction excluding real property cost (89-room Hampton Inn: $15.2M-$22.2M; 113-room Hampton Inn & Suites: $17.7M-$26.0M, latter not captured in facts). Item 17 non-compete term/radius and Item 19/20 tables reference sections exist in the FDD but were not returned by the text extraction passes; would need a follow-up fetch targeting specific page ranges to confirm rather than guess.
