SHANGHAI (June 17, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is celebrating a major milestone in Asia Pacific with the opening of its 100th Days Inn hotel in China: Days Inn by Wyndham Shantou Jinping. The opening not only highlights the brand’s robust growth across the country but underscores Wyndham’s success since reacquiring direct franchising rights for the brand.
Wyndham’s Days Inn brand in China has averaged double-digit net room growth over the last five years, contributing to a 14% increase in Wyndham’s overall direct franchising business over the same period. The brand is poised for sustained growth, with its pipeline in China expanding 25% year-over-year through the end of the first quarter. Notably, the Company’s direct franchise business growth has generated strong returns, doubling FeePAR since 2018. Wyndham’s expansion aligns with China’s tourism surge, as the country is projected to become the world’s largest travel and tourism market within the next decade.
“Wyndham has a leading footprint in China, and we intend to build on that strong foothold in the years ahead. With Days Inn, we’re offering a quality, reliable brand that suits the needs of owners and guests, all powered by the backing of the world’s largest hotel franchisor. As we continue to showcase the value Wyndham can bring to owners in China, we have a runway to grow and succeed in one of the most dynamic tourism industries in the world.”
“At Days Inn by Wyndham Shantou Jinping, we’re integrating the essence of Chaoshan culture with modern hospitality. Wyndham’s global network, powerful loyalty program and unparalleled technology offerings not only bring business directly to our hotel but also provide us with the tools and resources that help unlock extraordinary experiences for guests coming through our doors.”

PARSIPPANY, N.J., (June 3, 2025) – Missing your bestie? Nearly 40% of adults say their closest friends live in another state—and let’s face it, even the strongest bonds need more than DMs and video chats to stay close. That’s where Days Inn comes in.

The Mission: Guaranteed Closeness Each duo, working together, will document their ultimate “days out” experience – from must-eat bites to must-snap sights – all just steps away from their hotel door.

Adrenaline Junkies – Whether it’s roller coasters in Orlando, zip-lining through the Smokies, or ATVing across the Utah dessert, these besties are all in for speed, heights and heart-racing fun.
Wave Watchers – From sunrise surf sessions in Santa Monica to boardwalk strolls in Ocean City, MD, these besties are all about salt air and sandy toes.
Culture Cravers – Live music in Nashville, museums in D.C., art walks in Santa Fe – these besties travel for soul, story and self-expression.

World’s sunniest hotel brand offers two Solar Sun-terns a shared $10,000 payday

Days Inn® by Wyndham, the iconic economy hotel brand known for making days brighter, is seeking two adventurous BFFs to take on 2024’s hottest gig: the Solar Sun-ternship.

World’s sunniest hotel brand debuts limited-time amenity in time for the busy summer travel season, offers hotel guests compliments at the push of a button
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – (May 16, 2023) – A great compliment is like a ray of sunshine—it brightens your day. That’s why Days Inn® by Wyndham, the iconic hotel brand known for making days brighter, is launching its newest limited-edition “complimentary” amenity: an in-room mirror that gives compliments at the push of a button. Voiced by beloved television personality, host, and producer, Ross Mathews, it might just be the world’s most flattering mirror.
Adored for his signature style and best known for his wit and charm as co-host of The Drew Barrymore Show, as well as judge and producer of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Mathews teamed up with Days Inn to deliver undeniably funny, morale-boosting messages sure to make anyone smile. From praising guests for just how much they light up the room to admiring their signature style, each pre-recorded message is designed to ready guests to head out and Seize the Days®.
“Making people smile is engrained in my DNA, which is why this project is such a perfect fit,” said Mathews. “Everyone deserves to feel their best, no matter who they are or where they’re going, and I can’t think of a better solution than having your own hotel room equipped with a personal cheerleader. It’s the perfect morning pick-me-up as travelers head out to seize the day.”
The mirror, available at select Days Inn hotels across the U.S. and Canada, is the second iteration of the sunny hotel brand’s line of “complimentary” amenities. Last summer, Days Inn introduced what it coined “the world’s nicest pillow” – a pillow that dished out cheeky compliments, helping guests start their day with a smile.
“At Days Inn, we are in the business of making days brighter and we know this mirror will bring guests an extra dose of sunshine,” said John Henderson, president and brand leader, Days Inn by Wyndham. “Whether it’s getting guests excited before a beach day or fun at the theme park, our complimentary mirror complements the friendly service and amenities guests already count on – like a great night’s sleep, complimentary light breakfast, free Wi-Fi, fitness center or swimming pool.”

Innovative program, now available to all U.S. Days Inn, Ramada and Microtel franchisees,
helps hotels save tens of thousands of dollars compared to traditional renovation programs
PARSIPPANY, N.J., (April 11, 2023) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,100 hotels spanning more than 95 countries, today announced the expansion of its Manufacturer Direct program. First launched in 2022 for Days Inn® by Wyndham, the program—now available to Ramada® by Wyndham and Microtel® by Wyndham franchisees—helps hotels undergoing renovations save an average of 20 percent or more in cost versus traditional renovation programs.
Built on the pillars of driving greater transparency, value creation and owner engagement throughout the renovation process, Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program enables owners to take a hands-on approach to renovations, giving full line of sight into costs and lead times while unlocking substantial savings.
“We take an owner first approach to franchising, and our Manufacturer Direct program delivers on greater transparency and higher savings in the renovation process, particularly for franchisees who want to be more hands-on and don’t require the support and services of our more traditional offerings,” said David Kellam, vice president Design and Construction, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “By enabling hotels to order everything directly and serve as their own project manager, we’re helping them unlock substantial cost-savings—as much as $50,000 on a 90-room Days Inn renovation—all while delivering an updated, high-quality, modern guest experience that aligns with Wyndham brand standards.”
Franchisees opting to take advantage of Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program connect with pre-approved vendors so they can manage all aspects of their own renovation. By overseeing the process and fulfilling the role of a more traditional project manager, including placing orders, handling installations and tracking timelines, franchisees remove many of the elements that can drive up costs for renovations.
Elevated Designs, Transparent Savings Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program makes it easy for franchisees to adopt the latest brand designs while helping ensure compliance with Wyndham brand standards. Among the room packages currently available:
Days Inn by Wyndham – Dawn Helping Days Inn make every day brighter for its guests, the Dawn room design takes its inspiration from the sun featuring bright and airy rooms with signature, sun-centric art of local landscapes and attractions. Furniture and fixtures are light and modern, emphasize in-room connectivity and feature vibrant pops of yellow throughout. Franchisees interested in seeing how Dawn will look in one of their existing rooms can generate a preview by uploading a photo to Wyndham’s new AI-driven Hotel Room RestylerSM, available here. A full Dawn room package through Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program costs approximately $2,400 per key for all furniture, fixtures and soft goods, with packages available in single king and double queen configurations. Since launch, hundreds of hotels have taken advantage of the program, resulting in millions of dollars in renovations.
Ramada by Wyndham – Ruby Anchored by Ramada’s commitment to helping guest sample the world, the Ruby room design is a modern and elevated re-imagination of one of the world’s most globally recognized brands. Featuring sleek bedding, dark woods, and thoughtfully placed notes of red, rooms help to immerse guests in local culture through dramatic, regionally inspired art and other touches. A full Ruby room package through Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program costs approximately $2,600 per key and is available in single king and double queen configurations.
Microtel by Wyndham – Moda Showcasing Microtel’s modern yet minimalist aesthetic, the Moda room is designed to maximize space and efficiency while elevating the guest experience. Featuring stylish, space-conscious furnishings; crisp, modern bedding; and energizing hues of blue and yellow, rooms are a quiet and welcoming respite for travelers eager to escape the chaos of the day-to-day. A full Moda room package through Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program costs approximately $2,800 per key and is available in a double queen configuration.
“What I love about Wyndham’s Manufacturer Direct program is the control and transparency it gave me in overseeing my hotel’s renovation, and how easy it was to work with manufacturers” said Nilesh Patel, Days Inn by Wyndham FAC member and owner of the newly remodeled Days Inn by Wyndham in El Cajon, Calif. “Not only did it allow me to manage the project in the way that I knew was best for my business, but the savings I was able to realize freed up capital that I’m now able to deploy into other areas of my business. As an owner, that’s a huge win.”
Wyndham plans to expand its Manufacturer Direct program later this year, next welcoming AmericInn by Wyndham franchisees with additional brands slated to follow.
Tailored Solutions for Every Type of Owner In addition to offerings through its Manufacturer Direct program, Wyndham franchisees can still access more traditional renovation programs through its Procurement Service Providers (PSP). Doing so allows franchisees to customize their approach to renovations, ideal for those who are navigating complex renovations, juggling several projects or wanting to have a less active role in the process. PSPs allow franchisees complete control to customize their level of support and offer different levels of pricing. Service options may include placing orders and managing distribution, to assisting with layout and design, or even start to finish project management support overseeing every detail of a renovation from budget to timeline, design and everything in between.
“We recognize that no two hotel owners are the same and because of that, renovation needs, including third-party support and assistance, are going to vary from one hotel to the next,” added Kellam. “With the addition of our Manufacturer Direct program, Wyndham now has one of, if not the most, robust offerings for franchisees looking to renovate their hotels. What’s more, regardless of which path a franchisee chooses, they can rest easy knowing they’re getting high quality products that conform with their brand’s specific standards.”

Just in time for summer, brand’s newest amenity brightens guests’ stays with on-the-spot compliments
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 21, 2022) – They say, a smile is the quickest way to brighten a room. That’s why today, in celebration of the official first day of summer, Days Inn® by Wyndham, the iconic hotel brand known for making days brighter, is releasing a new, limited-edition “complimentary” amenity: a pillow that offers compliments at the push of a button. Voiced by comedic actor Patrick Warburton, it might just be the world’s “nicest” pillow.
Best known for iconic characters like Puddy on the hit NBC comedy Seinfeld, Buzz Lightyear on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and Joe Swanson on Family Guy, Warburton brings his signature baritone bravado to his newest role with Day Inn and its first-of-its-kind pillow, delivering witty, uplifting messages sure to make any guest smile. From compliments on travelers’ awesome PJs to a delightfully playful serenade that gently wakes guests from their slumber—tenderly sung by Warburton—each pre-recorded message is an extra dose of sunshine designed to ready guests to head out and Seize the Days®.
“The absolute best part of any job in entertainment is getting the chance to make people laugh and smile, which is what made this project with Days Inn such a perfect fit,” said Warburton. “I can’t wait for guests to open their eyes after a great night’s sleep and hear fun and unexpected compliments to help them start their day. It’s officially my new favorite kind of pillow talk.”
Compliments are scientifically proven to go a long way in brightening someone’s day. In fact, a recent study from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology, shows they reduce stress, lift spirits, and give a sense of renewed confidence.
“Days Inn has been delivering smiles to guests for over 50 years and that’s exactly what this pillow does,” said John Henderson, president and brand leader, Days Inn by Wyndham. “From a warm friendly welcome and great comfy bed to free amenities like a light breakfast, inviting pool or fitness center, Wi-Fi and more, Days Inn is all about helping guests Seize the Days and our complimentary pillow is the perfect addition to help start the day off right.”
The new Days Inn Complimentary Pillow is available at the following select cities and locations across the U.S., starting today and is expected to remain available through July 30, 2022:

The iconic economy hotel brand is looking to hire one adventure-seeker eager to make up for a year of lost travels by taking on the role of Suntern and helping uncovering America’s sunniest attractions.
With travel being one of the main sources of motivation this year, it’s no surprise that America’s youth are choosing to take a step back and reclaim summer ‘21 with sun-soaked experiences outside of the living room.

Wyndham’s booking, billing and business solution simplifies travel management and payment to help drive corporate business to its hotels
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (August 4, 2020) – With a focus on finding impactful ways to drive more corporate business for its hotels, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts – the world’s largest hotel franchising company with more than 9,000 hotels across 90 countries – today announced the expansion of Wyndham Direct, a unique booking, billing and business solution. The service, formerly unique to its La Quinta® by Wyndham brand, is now immediately available at Super 8® by Wyndham and Days Inn® by Wyndham hotels in the U.S., with plans to expand further across Wyndham’s portfolio of brands later this year.
Wyndham Direct is designed to help drive corporate bookings to hotels and simplify travel management for companies and their travelers. Using integrated virtual credit card technology from Corporate Spending Innovations (CSI), Wyndham Direct offers easier booking, faster billing and smarter business, supporting hotels as they work to attract small and medium-sized corporate business, grow market share and drive lower-cost reservations. By expanding across the Wyndham’s three largest brands, the program now offers clients access to nearly 3,900 hotels across the economy through upper-midscale segments.
“Wyndham is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to helping our hotels drive more direct bookings, save time and get paid faster,” said Carol Lynch, senior vice president of Global Sales for Wyndham. “Wyndham Direct is a comprehensive solution for our hotels that not only eases the strain on hotel teams, but also makes the client’s experience easier and helps translate into revenues for our franchisees.”
“CSI is excited to partner with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to help power the Wyndham Direct Program and we look forward to providing an innovative, streamlined solution for Wyndham clients,” said Juliann Pless, senior vice president, Travel Payment Solutions at CSI.
Client Convenience and Simplicity
Wyndham Direct offers small- and mid-sized companies a streamlined travel program alternative. It allows company travelers to make reservations directly through central channels using virtual credit card technology charged at check-out – just like a traditional credit card – with no credit card authorization needed. Companies receive a single monthly bill and have the ability to manage travel spend within the Wyndham Direct customer portal, complete with flexible custom reporting features.
Helping Hoteliers
Hotel owners also benefit from the virtually risk-free program from Wyndham by getting paid simply and quickly. Guest folio data is automatically sent to clients, saving time and manpower by eliminating the need to print and send invoices or spend time on collections. Additionally, Wyndham Direct offers robust reporting and data collection to streamline reconciliation processes, simplify and accelerate the payment process for hotel bookings, and help minimize disruptions during the check-in process.
Positively Impacting Business
Wyndham Direct elevates and differentiates Wyndham’s value proposition for corporate travel accounts by offering a simple, client-centric solution allowing corporate travelers to book, pay and track their travel. Appealing to companies seeking simplicity in managing employee travel, Wyndham Direct helps increase market share and drive additional business from weekday road warriors across diverse industry segments such as oil and gas, construction, merchandising, transportation and more. Wyndham’s sales team works one-on-one to attract relevant business, including relief and recovery business, targeting those likely to drive room nights to upper-midscale, midscale and economy hotels.
Wyndham continues to evolve to deliver value to franchisees and capture additional travel demand, including in the mobile space. The Company recently introduced its Instant Hold feature, which facilitates last-minute, on-the-go bookings, requiring only a guest’s name and mobile number to reserve a room for the same day, with no credit card required. The innovation has been particularly critical as road trips continue to rise in popularity and booking windows have shortened during the pandemic, with guest adoption increasing from travelers seeking nearby hotels they can book with ease.
Expansion to new Brands
The Wyndham Direct program debuted at La Quinta by Wyndham hotels across the United States in March and Wyndham continues to expand the program to new brands, increasing its accessibility and footprint to economy hotels – a critical move as the company courts more diverse industries. By leveraging its scale and expansive U.S. presence in drive-to markets, Wyndham is proactively solving for customer’s needs across multiple industries and services. The Company plans to roll out Wyndham Direct to all of its brands and hotels in the U.S. on the SynXisV3 PMS throughout 2020, with plans to further expand internationally in the future.

BANGKOK, THAILAND(2 September 2019) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts – the world’s largest hotel franchisor with approximately 9,200 hotels across more than 80 countries – expects to welcome several new properties in Thailand by the end of 2020 under its upscale Wyndham® brand.
“Thailand’s tourism industry is riding the crest of a wave, with record numbers of visitors travelling to the country in search of its idyllic tropical climate and iconic attractions. Within the next two years, Wyndham will launch a series of exceptional new hotels and resorts in many of Thailand’s most sought-after regions, expanding the capacity of established destinations and bringing international accommodation to exciting new markets. We look forward to enabling a new generation of guests to experience the wonders of Thailand,” said Joon Aun Ooi, President and Managing Director, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, South East Asia and Pacific Rim.
Thailand’s tourism industry continues to set new records. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the country welcomed 31.25 million international visitors in the first ten months of 2018, up 7.8 percent year-on-year. The full-year total for 2018 is certain to have exceeded the TAT’s target of 36 million visitors, representing a new all-time high.
Thriving in Thailand
Southeast Asia continues to be Wyndham’s fastest-growing region, growing 22% year-over-year and currently comprises over 24,000 rooms. The Company continues to expand its presence in the region with new hotels slated to open in Thailand by the end of 2020:
Wyndham Nai Harn Resort Phuket, scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2019, will become the first internationally-branded hotel in the Nai Harn area of Phuket. Owned by Cissa Group Co., Ltd, this tranquil resort will be unlike any other hotel in Phuket, with a large swimmable lagoon covering the entire ground floor, flowing between the buildings and directly accessible from many of the 353 rooms and suites. Guests will have a choice of restaurants, a swim-up bar, a rooftop garden and lounge, a spa and wellness centre as well as meeting rooms.
Wyndham Chalong Phuket, scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2020 and also owned by Cissa Group Co., Ltd, will feature 150 pool villas, including two- and three-bedroom options. Located near Chalong Bay, the resort will also offer an all-day restaurant, a bar, a spa, a fitness centre and modern meeting spaces.
Wyndham Atlas Wongamat Pattaya, opening in late 2020 on the country’s popular Eastern Seaboard, will feature 192 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a lounge, a fitness centre and meeting space. This new-build hotel will be crowned by a dramatic rooftop pool and garden with views of the sea.
Earlier this year, the Company opened three new hotels as part of its ongoing expansion plans, including a milestone development of its first two hotels in the Krabi province:
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Chaofah Phuket, owned by CAS Holding, is located in the historic heart of Phuket Town and reflects the island’s cultural heritage with its Peranakan style. Surrounded by attractions including the King Power duty free retail complex, this upper-midscale hotel features 257 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a fitness centre and a spectacular rooftop infinity pool with views of Phuket Town and the Big Buddha. The hotel is a prime venue for events, with one of the largest ballrooms in town capable of hosting up to 400 people.
Ramada by Wyndham Aonang Krabi, owned by the Nagapura Group, is perfectly positioned in Aonang, Krabi’s most popular beachfront tourism district. The hotel features 80 rooms, including six pool villas and 15 rooms with direct access to the resort’s outdoor pool. Guests can also enjoy a wide variety of upscale facilities, including two restaurants, two swimming pools, a pool bar, a spa, a kid’s club and meeting rooms.
Days Inn by Wyndham Aonang Krabi, also owned by the Nagapura Group, is nestled on the seafront overlooking the azure Andaman Sea, and offers 38 bright and inviting rooms and suites, plus an ocean-facing restaurant, a swimming pool and pool bar.
