Classico Collection By Sonesta is a new soft-brand hotel franchise launched in 2023 with only one franchised hotel currently operating. The brand targets upper, upscale hotels offering high-quality services under independent approved trade names combined with the Sonesta marks. Investment costs are substantial, ranging from $1.7M for conversions to nearly $100M for new 250-room hotels. The franchise charges a 5% royalty and 2.5% brand promotion fee. Due to its early stage of development and limited operating history, no financial performance representations are provided. The 20-year initial term with one renewal option and the requirement for significant capital investment suggest this franchise is best suited for experienced hotel operators or investors with substantial financial resources.
