Tempo by Hilton vs Hotel RL Franchise Comparison

Hilton expects the first Tempo property to open in 2021 and is looking to target mainly urban and surban (areas just outside a major city that still offer a range of urban amenities) markets.Hilton has long championed the efficiencies of multi-brand properties, and Tempo by Hilton will pursue those opportunities when they are a good fit for a particular destination. Currently, there’s neither a set cost per key nor a minimum/maximum on room counts. The numbers will be market dependent, although the company anticipates 150 keys on average and is positioning Tempo to compete at roughly a 15 percent higher average daily rate than a Hilton Garden Inn in the same market.
