Answer frequent questions

The Cosmos franchise allows a property owner to join a federal brand and receive all necessary standards and solutions for running the business independently.

What is included in the basic package:

  • Federal brand (trademark, brand book, marketing standards and procedures)
  • Standards, manuals, and service management model (product standards, quality control system, customer experience management, knowledge base)
  • 24/7 support (owner account, franchise manager, business metrics, access to additional services)
  • Federal HR brand (strong HR brand, proprietary online learning platform, career pages, corporate culture)
  • Marketing and sales (hotel website creation and content, participation in federal campaigns, loyalty program)

The basic package provides an optimal set of services that allows franchisees to deliver guest service quality comparable to services provided directly by the brand owner.

The extended package includes additional services, such as financial accounting and reporting, additional property services management, procurement management, finance management, and more. It lets owners either receive selected optional services or the full scope of operator services, similar to a management agreement.

We consider the full line of our sub-brands, except Cosmos Collection, which includes our own premium complexes located in unique natural areas or landmark historic city locations.

A management agreement means full direct operational management of all hotel departments (front office, rooms, F&B, revenue and expenses, pricing, finance, personnel, security). The key point is the operator's direct influence on hotel revenue management.

This format suits owners who:

  • have no hotel management experience
  • are not satisfied with the revenue generated by an existing property
  • do not treat the hotel as a core asset
  • do not have enough time to develop the business themselves

A commercial concession agreement (franchise) grants the right to use the brand and business model (standards, procedures, and regulations). The owner manages the hotel independently.

This format suits owners who want:

  • association with a well-known hotel brand
  • faster hotel development in the market thanks to brand image
  • a proven business model
  • profit without high risk and the challenges of developing their own brand
  • access to unified marketing standards and booking systems

Yes. During consultations with our development department, we can determine which cooperation type is best for each case, combine formats (a manchising model: management during the owner's most difficult 2-3 year period followed by transition to franchising), or change cooperation formats.

The financial terms consist of a royalty fee (payment for the right to use intellectual property) and fees for marketing and pre-opening.

Unlike most hotel operators, we do not charge a lump-sum franchise fee.

We analyze every project submitted to us in detail. Very often, a property with a small room count can show strong economics if it has an interesting concept or unique location.

We consider projects in all regions of Russia and worldwide, except hotspots.

Contact our development department in any convenient way: website request, phone call, messenger message, or email with a brief project description:

  • Type (hotel / apartment hotel)
  • Status (under construction / operating)
  • Stage for properties under construction: idea / pre-concept / concept available / project documentation / working documentation, etc.
  • Room count
  • Region

Then we will discuss the cooperation roadmap with you and request all necessary project information for review.
