FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT HAMPTON INNS ...

Our Licenses
Promus, our predecessor, licensed, owned and operated Hampton Inn and Hampton Inn & Suites
hotels between May, 1995 and October 24, 2007. Hampton Inn hotels have been franchised since
1983, first by predecessors of Promus, then by Promus, and now by us. Hampton Inn & Suites hotels
were first franchised by a predecessor of Promus in 1993.
We license the Hampton Inn hotel system (the "System"), which consists of the elements, including
know-how, that we designate from time to time to identify hotels operating worldwide under our two
Licensed Brands: “Hampton Inn” hotels, designed to provide distinctive, high-quality hotel service to
the public at moderate prices, and “Hampton Inn & Suites” hotels, designed to combine standard
guest rooms with a significant block of studio guest suites. (Guest rooms and guest suites are referred
to as "Guest Rooms".)
The System currently includes the Licensed Brand and the Marks (see Item 13); access to a
reservation service; advertising, publicity and other marketing programs and materials; training
programs and materials; standards, specifications and policies for construction, furnishing, operation,
appearance and service of the hotel; and other elements we refer to in the Franchise License
Agreement, in the Manual (see Item 8) or in other communications to you, and programs for our
inspecting your hotel and consulting with you. We may add elements to the System or modify, alter or
delete elements of the System.
We franchise the non-exclusive right to use the System in the operation of your hotel under either the
Hampton Inn Licensed Brand or the Hampton Inn & Suites Licensed Brand, at a specified location.
You must follow the high standards we have established as the essence of the System and you may
be required to make future investments.

During the term of the franchise, we may offer to amend your Franchise License Agreement as part of
the offer of a new program or for some other reason. If you agree to the proposed changes, you must
