How much does a Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise make?

Homewood Suites by Hilton is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The average revenue Homewood Suites by Hilton reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against travel & hospitality peers are in the full report. See every travel & hospitality brand that discloses earnings in the Hotel, travel & hospitality franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Homewood Suites by Hilton's 5.5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Homewood Suites by Hilton's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.

Homewood Suites by Hilton lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Homewood Suites by Hilton's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Homewood Suites by Hilton itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. The full Homewood Suites by Hilton report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.

Homewood Suites by Hilton closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Homewood Suites by Hilton will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Homewood Suites by Hilton's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a travel & hospitality of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Homewood Suites by Hilton's latest tables show a growing franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Homewood Suites by Hilton's churn ranks against travel & hospitality peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Homewood Suites by Hilton?

Homewood Suites by Hilton's franchise is offered by Hilton Franchise Holding LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
