Hyatt vs Moxy Hotels Franchise Comparison

An upscale select service hotel with a modern attitude. Designed for multi-tasking travelers seeking a select service hotel, Hyatt Place properties offer smart design and a relaxed setting with a 24/7 guest kitchen and grab n go case. Located in urban, airport and suburban areas, Hyatt Place features casual hospitality in a contemporary, technology-enabled environment. Sixteen new Hyatt Place hotels opened in North America in 2010 and more than 30 are under development in the U.S., India, Panama, Costa Rica and the Netherlands.

Moxy Hotels, Marriott International’s newest and most anxious affordable brand, serves as a playground that attracts Fun Hunter travelers. With a highly competitive market for hotels in much of the United States and Canada, Moxy Hotels gives owners and franchisees a new pick of the litter to compete in the upper, midscale priced tier in prime urban locations.

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a newly-constructed prototypical Moxy Hotel, excluding the cost of real estate and related costs (building permit, tap, and impact fees), ranges from $10,309,910 to $25,544,600 for a 100 to 150-room Moxy Hotel and from $15,162,110 to  31,230,300 for a 151 to 200-room Moxy Hotel, plus from 100,000 to 200,000 Euros to be paid to a third-party not related to us. This includes approximately $161,000 to $280,590 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate.
