Canopy by Hilton is an upscale hotel franchise introduced and run by the mega Hilton brand. It strives to offer a unique yet modern hotel experience to its guests in picturesque locations across the world. Hilton created this brand after undergoing comprehensive research based on consumer trends and needs in the hospitality industry.

Hilton launched Canopy by Hilton in 2014 to place an emphasis on comfortable spaces and thoughtful locations. It focuses its guest-directed appeal on relaxation and a space to recharge. Canopy by Hilton offers business and leisure travelers a modern space to relax and replenish in well-thought-out locations. 

Hilton by Canopy has over a dozen locations in the United States to go along with several located internationally.

Why You May Want to Start a Canopy By Hilton Franchise

If you want to own a modern and chic franchise in the hospitality industry, then Canopy by Hilton may be a good choice. Franchisees are expected to be forward-thinking with the initiative necessary to take on a relatively new concept in the hospitality industry.

Two more traits that a Canopy by Hilton franchisee should have are innovation and sophistication. Hilton seeks to make this new franchise opportunity modern and futuristic as compared to its traditional outlets. A global mindset is also a key feature for a franchisee since this franchise is set to be multinational with locations all over the world, in key destinations.

Canopy by Hilton has been ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500. This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

What Might Make a Canopy by Hilton Franchise a Good Choice?

Canopy by Hilton may be a unique investment choice for franchisees thanks to its non-traditional design that's all about guest service and less about transactions. This fun, new concept breaks the tradition of checking in at a hospitality desk and instead uses your smartphone as your hotel room key. 

To be part of the Canopy by Hilton team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. In addition, you should prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include royalty, advertising, and potential renewal fees. 

How To Open a Canopy by Hilton Franchise

Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, you must perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. As part of your due diligence, you may want to speak to existing franchisees and ask the Canopy by Hilton franchising team questions. 

Once you've determined that Canopy by Hilton is a good fit and have completed the necessary steps to open a franchise, the company will offer its support in the form of marketing support which includes social media and email marketing. A franchisee will also receive ongoing support such as field operations, grand opening, online support, on-the-job training, and so on.
