The vendor opportunity at NH Hotel
NH Hotel operates under Minor Hotels, alongside sibling brand Tivoli Hotels & Resorts. Its 2025 FDD carries a 5.0% royalty and a 15-year initial term, and names a full executive roster spanning assets and development, operations, legal, international CEO, and marketing.
Who controls software purchasing
This is a centralized system. Item 6 requires Lanyon by Cvent and STR by CoStar; Item 8 separately mandates antivirus and cybersecurity software, Microsoft and Windows licenses, and POS and PMS software purchased from the franchisor or an affiliate. Rufino Perez Fernandez (COO), Carlos Ulecia Palacios (Chief Legal and Compliance Officer), and Gonzalo Aguilar (CEO for Europe and the Americas) are the named officers closest to that buying process.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Lanyon by Cvent and STR by CoStar are required under Item 6. Amadeus, Sabre, and TripAdvisor are described as in use rather than contractually required. SynXis by Sabre Hospitality appears in the filing, though nothing in it obliges a hotel to use it.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs on specifications, with several exceptions bought only from the franchisor or an affiliate: antivirus and cybersecurity software, Microsoft and Windows licenses, external learning site support, and POS/PMS software and hardware support. Franchisees may propose other suppliers for approval. The initial term is 15 years, followed by a 10-year renewal for operators who stay in compliance and can hold the hotel for the renewal period.
