1. GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS SUMMARY OF BRAND STANDARDS provides information on the brand standards required to integrate New Build and Conversion properties into the DAYS INN ® system. All works must be completed before the opening of the hotel in the DAYS INN system, unless agreed otherwise. All projects to be completed in line with Wyndham Worldwide ® standards, as detailed in the Architecture & Construction Brand Standards Manual available from the Architecture Design & Construction Department (“AD&C”) once the franchise agreement is signed.

This summary indicates the minimum standards required by each applicable brand. Any facilities provided in excess of the brand standard minimum must also comply with brand standard requirements.

Whilst legal compliance must be guaranteed at all times, in case of any discrepancy between this summary and the Brand Standards Manuals, the Brand Standards Manual prevails.

The following process is applied to all prospective ‘New Build’ and ‘Conversion’ properties:

Based on information received (the Fact Sheet and complete comprehensive drawings), a TFR (Technical Feasibility Report) / PDR (Property Development Report) is submitted to the Owner / Investor detailing what works are required to enable conversion to the DAYS INN system. This report is prepared in advance of the project being submitted to the International Approval Committee (“IAC”) for approval and forms an integral part of the franchise agreement.

After signature, the following services will be provided by AD&C department: - a sample room visit and approval. - review of all signage proposals - a pre-opening visit.

The AD&C department can provide additional support as desired, via Technical Services Agreements, tailored to the specific needs of the project (Architectural and Interior Design planning, IT, M&E, kitchen, BoH layouts and equipment, purchasing, etc.).

Detailed information and fee structures are available at the AD&C department.

DAYS INNs are economy hotels typically found along the motorway networks and urban locations. They offer accommodation, breakfast and limited meeting facilities.

DAYS HOTELs are premium economy hotels offering more extensive services and amenities including restaurant, bar and business facilities. Days Hotels are to be found in metropolitan, suburban and conference locations. Additional facilities ensure the corporate and leisure traveller has a comfortable stay.
