Hotel Law, Transactions, Management and Franchising

Companion Web Site

Hotel Law  presents the companion web based compendium of supplemental information and form documents.  As you examine the text and the glossary there will be references to form documents and additional materials to enhance your study of hotel law and to offer practical examples of the more abstract principals explored in the text.

We are extremely fortunate to be able to provide the you with actual form documents graciously made available by FRHI Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Inc. and Hyatt Hotels Worldwide, together with sample checklists and other materials.

We hope you will return to the companion web site from time to time to explore how the legal principals exposed in the text are applied in real world situations and contexts.
