Tempo by Hilton vs Atwell Suites 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.

The approximate total investment necessary to begin operation of a typical 96-room Atwell Suites hotel, excluding land costs and and other matters, ranges from $8,820,308 to $12,387,352 ($91,878 to $129,035 per guest room) or more, including between $132,710 to $157,895 or more that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate.
