A Hospitality Hotel Contract covers management, operation, or branding arrangements in the hospitality sector. This playbook guides negotiation of performance benchmarks, termination rights, and brand compliance.
Why This Matters: Clarity on term and renewal rights helps avoid operational disruptions, costly renegotiations, and potential occupancy disputes.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Owner:
Negotiate for flexible renewal options and ensure rent adjustments are based on fair market value. Aim for longer initial terms to secure stability.
If you're the Operator:
Ensure renewal terms are clear and protect against unfavorable rent adjustments. Consider shorter initial terms to allow for market rate adjustments.

Lease Term
Duration of the lease agreement.

Action framework

Example clauses
FAVORABLE
Preferred Lease Term
"The initial term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue for a period of [insert number] years, unless sooner terminated as provided herein."
NEUTRAL
Standard Renewal Option
"Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for [insert number] additional term(s) of [insert number] years each, provided that Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its intention to renew at least [insert number] days prior to the expiration of the then-current term."
UNFAVORABLE
Ambiguous Rent Adjustment
"Rent for the renewal term shall be adjusted as agreed upon by both parties without a specified method."
Fallbacks
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, ensure lease terms allow for early termination without penalties to mitigate potential losses.
Rapid Expansion Plans
For companies with rapid expansion plans, negotiate shorter lease terms with multiple renewal options to maintain flexibility.
Market Volatility
In volatile markets, include clauses that allow for rent adjustments based on economic indices to protect against sudden market changes.
