PARSIPPANY, N.J. (August 11, 2025) – For the eighth year in a row, Wyndham Rewards®, the world’s most generous hotel rewards program spanning more than 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals worldwide, has been voted the #1 hotel loyalty program by readers of USA TODAY. The Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card was also named Best Hotel Credit Card for the seventh consecutive year.
Part of USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, where nominees are curated by a panel of travel industry experts and winners are selected by popular vote, the wins are just the latest in a growing list of accolades for Wyndham Rewards. Earlier this year, NerdWallet named Wyndham Rewards the industry’s most valuable hotel rewards program—offering close to $12 back in rewards for every $100 spent—while for more than a decade, U.S. News & World Report has named it one their top rewards programs, noting the breadth of the Wyndham’s redemption portfolio and the speed and ease of earning a free night.
“Year after year, travelers recognize Wyndham Rewards for what it is: a program built to deliver unmatched value, ease, and reach. Whether it’s a family road trip, a last-minute business stay, or a long-awaited getaway, we’re proud to be the program making everyday travel more rewarding. Congratulations to our team members, to our franchisees and to our partners—without you and your teams, honors like these simply wouldn’t be possible.”
– Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
The Most Generous Hotel Rewards Program With approximately 120 million enrolled members globally, Wyndham Rewards continues to stand out in a crowded loyalty landscape by keeping things refreshingly straightforward. Members earn a minimum 1,000 points with every qualified stay, while three simple free night redemption tiers, starting at just 7,500 points per night, help ensure rewards aren’t only easy to earn, but easy to use.
But it doesn’t stop with free nights. Wyndham Rewards also offers the industry’s most accessible levels of status—kicking in after just five nights of stays—and continues to add new partners and program features, making membership even more rewarding. For example, the recently introduced Wyndham Rewards Experiences lets members use their points to bid on one-of-a-kind events—like VIP access to the sold-out Vans Warped Tour—while Wyndham Rewards Travel Bundles makes it easy to earn and redeem points across hotel stays, flights, cruises, rental cars, and a wide variety of tours and activities.
Credit Cards Built for Road Warriors Wyndham Rewards gets even better with its lineup of co-branded credit cards, issued in partnership with Barclays: the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card, Earner Plus® Card, and the Earner Business® Card—the first card from Wyndham created specifically with small business owners in mind.
Built to help maximize points earned on the road as well through everyday purchases, the award-winning cards offer up to 8x points on gas and stays at Wyndham hotels, up to 5x points on marketing, advertising, and utility purchases (Earner Business only) and up to 4x points on dining and groceries. What’s more, cardholders also enjoy a range of travel-friendly perks—like automatic elite status, anniversary bonuses, and no foreign transaction fees.
For a limited time, new cardholders can earn up to 90,000 points, enough for up to 12 free nights, when they apply and meet the qualifying spend requirements. (See here for full details, including terms and conditions.)

Wyndham Championship Fore! Good
Creating positive impact in the community is a hallmark of the Wyndham Championship and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good, the tournament’s signature philanthropic platform, allows the tournament to give back to worthy causes in central North Carolina and beyond.
Earlier this week, Wyndham Rewards joined the tournament and others in donating $250,000 to First Tee – Central Carolina, while also donating a combined $100,000 to the tournament’s four backpack charities: Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks, Out of the Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point. Helping feed children in and around central North Carolina, backpacks are packed with nutritionally-sound meals, which families take home every weekend. Just $5 can feed one child for a weekend while $150 can feed a child for an entire school year.
In addition to cash donations, Thursday through Sunday, should a PGA TOUR player make a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole, Wyndham Rewards will award one million points to the player and donate an additional one million points to be shared among the four charities.

Company Raises Full-Year 2025 EPS Outlook
Grows Development Pipeline by 5% and System Size by 4%
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 23, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Highlights include:
System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
Awarded 229 development contracts globally, an increase of 40% year-over-year.
Development pipeline grew 1% sequentially and 5% year-over-year to a record 255,000 rooms.
Ancillary revenues increased 19% compared to second quarter 2024 and 13% on a year-to date basis.
Diluted earnings per share increased 6% year-over-year to $13; adjusted diluted EPS grew 18% to $1.33, or 11% on a comparable basis.
Net income increased 1% year-over-year to $87 million; adjusted net income increased 13% to $103 million, or 7% on a comparable basis.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% year-over-year to $195 million, or 5% on a comparable basis.
Returned $109 million to shareholders through $77 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.41 per share.
“We delivered another solid quarter growing our global system by 4%, expanding our development pipeline by 5%, increasing our ancillary revenues by 19%, and continuing to execute our strategy focused on higher FeePAR segments and markets, which is driving growth in both domestic and international royalty rates,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Record first-half openings and a 40% second quarter increase in new contracts awarded reflect strong developer confidence in Wyndham’s powerful, owner-first value proposition. Amid a softer domestic RevPAR environment, we grew comparable adjusted EBITDA by 5% and comparable adjusted EPS by 11%. We also returned nearly $110 million to shareholders this quarter — continuing to demonstrate the value-creating power of our highly cash-generative, resilient asset-light business model. With consistent development, royalty rate, and ancillary fee growth, we remain very confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders, franchisees, and team members through the enduring appeal of our iconic brands.”
Revised International Reporting Basis As part of a recent operational review, the Company identified violations of its Super 8 master license agreement in China and issued a notice of default to the master licensee. Given the operational challenges of obtaining accurate information from this master licensee and the uncertain outcome of the compliance process, beginning this quarter, the Company has revised its reporting methodology to exclude the impact of all rooms (approximately 67,300 rooms as of March 31, 2025) under this master license agreement from its reported system size, RevPAR and royalty rate, and corresponding growth metrics. The Company’s financial results will continue to reflect fees due from the Super 8 master licensee in China, which contributed less than $3 million to the Company’s full-year 2024 consolidated adjusted EBITDA.
To provide further context, the following table reflects the impact on the Company’s global growth metrics as a result of the exclusion of its Super 8 master license agreement in China:
The Company’s global system grew 4% including 3% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S. and 5% growth in the higher RevPAR EMEA and Latin America regions.
On June 30, 2025, the Company’s pipeline consisted of approximately 2,150 hotels and 255,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 5% year-over-year increase. Key highlights include:
Awarded 229 new contracts, an increase of 40% year-over-year.
6% pipeline growth in the U.S. and 4% growth internationally
Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 5% year-over-year
Approximately 17% of the pipeline is in the extended stay segment
Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
Approximately 76% of the pipeline is new construction and approximately 35% of these projects have broken ground
RevPAR
Second quarter global RevPAR decreased 3% in constant currency compared to 2024, reflecting a 4% decline in the U.S. and 1% growth internationally.
In the U.S., second quarter results included approximately 150 basis points of unfavorable impacts from the timing of the Easter holiday and the 2024 solar eclipse. Excluding these impacts, the Company’s U.S. RevPAR declined approximately 2.3% year-over-year, driven by softer demand, partially offset by a modest increase in pricing.
Internationally, RevPAR results were driven by continued pricing power, offset by a decline in occupancy. The Company continued to see strong performance in its EMEA and Latin America regions, with year-over-year growth of 7% and 18%, respectively, reflecting robust pricing power in both regions. The Company’s Canada region grew RevPAR by 7% reflecting increased room nights from Canadian guests. In China, RevPAR decreased 8% year-over-year reflecting a decline in occupancy and continued pricing pressure.
Second Quarter Operating Results The comparability of the Company’s second quarter results is impacted by marketing fund variability. The Company’s reported results and comparable-basis results (adjusted to neutralize these impacts) are presented below to enhance transparency and provide a better understanding of the results of the Company’s ongoing operations.
Fee-related and other revenues grew 8% to $397 million compared to $366 million in second quarter 2024, which reflects a 19% increase in ancillary revenues, higher royalties and franchise fees, as well as higher pass-through revenues due to the Company’s global franchisee conference in May.
The Company generated net income of $87 million, a 1% increase compared to second quarter 2024, as higher adjusted EBITDA and lower transaction-related expenses were partially offset by the absence of a benefit in connection with the reversal of a spin-off related matter, higher restructuring costs, and increased interest expense. Adjusted net income grew 13% to $103 million compared to $91 million in second quarter 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 10% to $195 million compared to $178million in second quarter 2024. This increase included an $8 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 5% on a comparable basis, primarily reflecting increased ancillary revenues, as well as higher royalties and franchise fees, partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily related to growth in the Company’s credit card program and the absence of a benefit from insurance recoveries.
Diluted earnings per share increased 6% to $13 compared to $1.07 in second quarter 2024. This increase primarily reflects the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
Adjusted diluted EPS grew 18% to $1.33 compared to $1.13 in second quarter 2024. This increase included a favorable impact of $0.07 per share related to marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 11% year-over-year, reflecting comparable adjusted EBITDA growth, the benefit of share repurchase activity and lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher interest expense.
During second quarter 2025, the Company’s marketing fund revenues exceeded expenses by $3 million; while in second quarter 2024, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $5 million, resulting in $8 million of marketing fund variability.
Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity The Company generated $70 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $88 million of adjusted free cash flow in second quarter 2025. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $50 million and approximately $580 million in total liquidity.
The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at June 30, 2025, the midpoint of the Company’s 3 to 4 times stated target range and in line with expectations.
Share Repurchases and Dividends During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 923,000 shares of its common stock for $77 million.
The Company paid common stock dividends of $32 million, or $0.41 per share, during the second quarter 2025.
Full-Year 2025 Outlook The Company is increasing its adjusted diluted EPS outlook to reflect the impact of second quarter share repurchase activity and increasing the low-end of its year-over-year rooms growth outlook by 40 basis points to reflect the removal of the dilutive impact from its Super 8 master licensee in China.
The Company continues to expect marketing fund revenues to approximate expenses during full-year 2025 though seasonality of spend will affect the quarterly comparisons throughout the year.
More detailed projections are available in Table 8 of this press release. The Company is providing certain financial metrics only on a non-GAAP basis because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all of the adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results.

Listeners can access the webcast live through the Company’s website at https://investor.wyndhamhotels.com.

Presentation of Financial Information Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures, which include or exclude certain items. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The Company uses these measures internally to assess its operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and to make day to day operating decisions, including in the evaluation of selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the comparable non-GAAP measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of this press release.

“Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way” unites Company’s global
portfolio of brands with its top-rated rewards program, Wyndham Rewards
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 11, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is tapping into the power of simplicity and scale this summer with an all-new ad campaign, Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way. Rooted in themes of accessibility, convenience, and authenticity, the campaign positions Wyndham as a trusted travel partner while uniting its 25 brands and top-rated rewards program under a single, cohesive voice and tagline—a first for the Company.
Created in partnership with Havas New York and produced by Annex 88, Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way is more than just a clever phrase—it’s a narrative that taps into the emotion and spontaneity of real-world travel. Whether it’s an ambitious aunt racing across three states in one weekend to make milestone family events or a beach-bound couple chasing sunsets and savings, the campaign reinforces that Wyndham has your back, wherever you may be headed this summer, with approximately 9,300 hotels across 25 brands.
“This campaign is more than a new tagline, it celebrates what Wyndham does best: making hotel travel possible for all. From road trips and family reunions to beach getaways and golf escapes, we want travelers looking to Wyndham, knowing that no matter the destination, no matter the budget: Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way.”
“Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way is a super flexible platform that allows us to tell a variety of stories that will ring true for our everyday travelers. Whether you’re interested in using your Wyndham Rewards points earned from business travel for a much-needed personal trip or being able to retain your “World’s Greatest Aunt” status by being there for your nieces and nephews, there’s no shortage of relatable travel situations we can message.”
– Dan Lucey, Co-CEO and Chief Creative Officer, Havas New York
A Hero Spot Grounded in Real-Life Wyndham’s newest campaign kicks off with a 30-second hero spot titled “World’s Greatest Aunt,” showcasing a determined woman crisscrossing states to attend three family events—all with help from Wyndham’s extensive hotel portfolio and loyalty perks. It’s a funny, heartfelt ode to the everyday heroics of travelers and a microcosm of the broader campaign message.
The spot leans into grounded storytelling and humor while reflecting the range of Wyndham’s customer base. The execution also strikes a balance between aspiration and realism, avoiding over-polished travel tropes in favor of something more familiar and attainable.
A Media Strategy as Wide-Ranging as Wyndham True to its 360-degree ambition, the campaign spans broadcast, connected TV, social media, digital video, display, audio, and out-of-home. Custom content partnerships and mid-summer experiential activations will further extend the campaign’s reach and relevance, particularly at key travel planning moments.
The campaign is also supported by smart data targeting, ensuring creative is tailored to travelers’ preferences—from quick weekend getaways to longer road trips. It’s all in service of positioning Wyndham not just as a collection of brands, but as a trusted travel partner.
Building Brand Love, Driving Bookings Further unifying the campaign is messaging connecting to Wyndham Rewards®, Wyndham’s award-winning loyalty program, ranked #1 by both USA Today and U.S. News & World Report, and the benefits of the program. For example, the hero spot, “World’s Greatest Aunt,” focuses on the character’s emotional journey and demonstrates how Wyndham Rewards plays a crucial role in helping her get there. Whether it’s a planned free night’s stay or points that make an impromptu detour possible, the spot illustrates how the program offers real, usable benefits that support meaningful travel—be it planned or spontaneous.
Wyndham Rewards has more than 115 million enrolled members globally and is consistently recognized for being more generous and offering more places to redeem—over 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals globally—than any other major hotel rewards program.

From beach escapes to foodie hotspots, dynamic duos will explore top destinations and turn their trip into share-worthy content as official Days Inn-siders
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. Just in time for National Best Friends Day, the hotel brand known for spreading sunshine is launching a nationwide search to reunite five pairs of long-distance best friends as its newest brand ambassadors.
With hotels in buzz-worthy destinations coast to coast—designed for every kind of vibe – five dynamic duos will claim the title of official “Days Inn-siders.” Their mission? Spend a weekend together spotlighting the best a destination has to offer for the brand’s social media channels. In return for awesome content, each pair will receive a $10,000 payday, plus accommodations, flights and daily travel stipend.
“In a world where group chats fade and schedules collide, Days Inn is making sure one thing stays strong – closeness. With destinations that offer everything from laid-back beach escapes to vibrant city adventures, our hotels create space for best friends to share the kind of moments that stick – and that’s exactly what our Days Inn-siders will help bring to life.”
– John Henderson, VP, Brand Operations, Days Inn by Wyndham
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. And because no two friendships are the same, each getaway will be designed with a different kind of duo in mind, helping show other travelers that wherever you’re headed, the best days out, call for a Days Inn. Whether it’s a mother-daughter pair on the hunt for the best beaches or college roommates turned long-distance friends seeking adrenaline-pumping adventures, Days Inn will work with each to craft a trip that caters to their personalities and passions.
Among the types of duos Days Inn is searching for:
Nature Nomads – From misty mornings in the Pacific Northwest, stargazing in Sedona and red rock sunsets in the Southwest, these besties feel most alive on the trail.
Taste Makers – These besties plan their trips around flavor and flair – whether it’s uncovering the best deep-dish in Chicago, food truck feasts in Austin or simply café-hopping in Portland.
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.
The Responsibilities:
Able to travel for two nights between August – December 2025 (dates and destination will be coordinated with the Days Inn team).
Create original “Days Inn-sider” content (video + photo) highlighting must do experiences for the brands social media channels.
Inspire others to stop waiting and start reuniting through authentic storytelling.
Represent the Days Inn spirit like a pro – rooted in fun, adventure and warmth.
The Perks:
$10,000 cash payday ($5,000 per bestie).
Shared Days Inn hotel room for two guests for two nights.
Travel stipend ($2,000 per pair) for airfare, ground transportation, and meals.
Wyndham Rewards® DIAMOND level membership.
A suitcase full of Days Inn swag.
A real-life reunion with your favorite person.

Hotel owners and property developers remain confident in industry’s resiliency despite a news cycle dominated by tariffs, inflation, interest rates and more
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 2, 2025) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts today unveiled its first-annual Hotel Owner Trends Report. A multi-month effort spanning two industry-wide surveys of hundreds of hotel owners and property developers, the findings paint a picture of an industry that, despite the tumultuous news cycle, remains confident in its resilience and long-term growth prospects.
“There’s a lot of noise in the marketplace right now and yet, more than 90% of hotel owners and developers are optimistic about what the next five years hold for them. That’s because they know that in hospitality, they’re playing the long game. Case in point: While most admit to having concerns over current economic volatility, four-out-of-five say they still plan to expand their portfolios over the next five years.”
– Amit Sripathi, Chief Development Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Brands Matter Highlighting the critical role brands play in hotel ownership, virtually all surveyed (98%) said they’re currently open to exploring new branded offerings—underscoring the value brands bring to the table versus operating as an independent. Further, most (55%) are interested in traditional or hard brands while just under half (45%) are seeking soft brand opportunities.
Here’s what owners and developers are also looking for:
Support and Leadership Access Ranking the top two factors owners and developers look for when choosing which brand to join, support from industry experts tops the list (including marketing, revenue management and operational expertise), followed by access to executive leadership.
A Strong Loyalty Program
More than 80% of hotel owners and developers say a strong loyalty program is very important or critical to a hotel’s success, with nearly two-thirds (62%) of those open to joining a brand or switching brands citing it as a top five factor they consider.
A Robust Array of Brand Offerings When looking at expansion, interest spans virtually all segments. Just over a third (39%) have lifestyle and boutique hotels in their sights, while a similar number (36%) are looking at midscale and upper-midscale. The same is true for economy (35%).
Capitalizing on Extended-Stay Extended-stay hotels continue to be front and center for hotel owners and developers. Buoyed by historically high demand and developer ROI, nearly all surveyed (96%) see opportunity in extended-stay, highlighting it as an investment with great potential.
Here’s what else owners and developers are saying about extended-stay:
The Model Matters Operating in extended-stay means operating in a way that’s different from traditional brands. Nearly three-out-of-five surveyed (59%) recognize this, a highlight that embracing the unique operating model of extended-stay is critical to success.
All Eyes on Infrastructure With historic multi-year infrastructure spend on the rise, 100% of respondents said they anticipate an increase in new business over the next five years (including those outside of the extended-stay segment) as a result of the many projects these investments are funding.
Cross-Sell and Upsell are Key Both in extended-stay and beyond, when it comes to driving increased revenue, more than 80% of hotel owners and property developers say cross-sell and upsell opportunities are key, describing them as either critical or very important to their hotel’s success.
Fueling the Future with Technology When choosing a brand, the majority of owners and developers list access to best-in-class technology as one of their top five factors. What’s more, one-in-five (20%) say investing in technology is how they plan to differentiate their hotel from the competition.
Here’s what owners and developers are also saying about technology:
Investing in Tomorrow’s Traveler Recognizing the role technology plays in delivering a great guest experience, nearly two-thirds (61%) of hotel owners have already invested in, or are considering investing in, things like streaming, digital room keys and self-service kiosks. Meanwhile, nearly half (46%) have done or are considering the same when it comes to EV charging stations.
Harnessing the Power of AI Over 90% of hotel owners are already leveraging AI in some capacity. Notably, more than 70% are deploying the technology to support operations while more than 60% are using it for guest-facing services.
An Interconnected Guest Experience When it comes to guest messaging platforms, one-in-three hotels (33%) are already utilizing this technology, with nearly another third (30%) looking to invest in or increase their investment in it. The same is true for mobile tipping: a third of those surveyed (33%) say they already offer mobile tipping, with nearly another third (30%) expecting to invest or increase their investment in it.
“The message from today’s hotel owners and property developers is clear: it’s not just about growing their portfolios, it’s about growing their portfolios with the right brands and the right partners. They also want the best. The best technology, the best rewards program, the best support. The good news? That’s exactly what Wyndham offers, and its why our franchisee retention rate has grown to nearly 96%, including our economy brands, which are among the highest in the industry.”
– Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Proven Resilience Over the last twenty-five years, select-service hotels, like those owned and operated by most Wyndham franchisees, have repeatedly proven their resilience in weathering challenging environments. From 2000 to 2023, U.S. select-service RevPAR grew at a 2.6% CAGR, and during some of the most historic economic events on record, Wyndham’s select-service hotels have consistently outperformed STR’s upscale and above segments. In 2001, following the attacks of 9/11, they outperformed by 300 basis points. In 2008, in the wake of the global financial crisis, they outperformed by 500 basis points. And most recently, in 2020, amid the backdrop of the global pandemic, they outperformed by 2,500 basis points. These results are not coincidental and reflect the tested, long-term value proposition of Wyndham’s select-service brands.
The Wyndham Advantage As the world’s largest hotel franchisor, Wyndham takes an OwnerFirstTM approach to franchising, prioritizing the needs of hotel owners and their success. From unprecedented access to Company leaders, to launching new brands designed to take advantage of the extended-stay boom (ECHO Suites® Extended Stay by Wyndham and WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham) to investing nearly $350 million in best-in-class technology since going public in 2018, Wyndham—through the Wyndham Advantage—is making moves that not only help owners succeed today, but also help set them up to innovate and grow their business in the future.
A white paper detailing the findings of Wyndham’s first-annual Hotel Owner Trends Report is slated to be available for download later this month. To sign-up for early access, click here. For more information on franchising opportunities, visit www.wyndhamdevelopment.com.

Survey Methodology Managed by Wakefield Research, the Wyndham Survey was conducted among 325 Hotel Owners & Hotel Property Developers, with minimum seniority of VP+, in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, between February 4th and February 12th, 2025, using an email invitation and an online survey. A follow-up survey was conducted between May 16th and May 27th, 2025, with another 325 Hotel Owners & Hotel Property Developers, using similar methods. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in both studies, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 6.2 percentage points for the total data, 6.9 percentage for the U.S., 9.8 percentage points for Canada, and 19.6 percentage points for the Caribbean, from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
Anchored by its OwnerFirst™ approach, the world’s largest hotel franchisor is redefining hotel ownership through bold advancements across technology, sourcing, loyalty and marketing
LAS VEGAS (May 20, 2025) – Together, Wyndham and its franchisees are going places. That was the message heard by thousands of hotel owners, suppliers and Wyndham team members this morning as the Company officially kicked off its 2025 Global Conference in Las Vegas. Amid a packed Caesars Forum, one of the city’s newest and most modern convention centers, Company leaders laid out over half a dozen new initiatives spanning technology, sourcing, loyalty and marketing—designed to help hotel owners better serve guests all while lowering costs, unlocking operational efficiencies and growing their bottom line.
“As the world’s largest hotel franchisor, we believe in putting hotel owners first. That means listening to their needs and responding with solutions that help them take their business to the next level. Whether it’s our #1 rated rewards program, our best-in-class technology, or our top-tier sales, marketing and operational support—everything we do, every decision that we make, is grounded in their long-term success.”
– Geoff Ballotti, President and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Among the initiatives announced earlier today:
New Best-in-Class Technology Building on its best-in-class tech stack, the newly launched Wyndham Connect PLUS enhances Wyndham’s existing guest engagement platform by further embedding AI across the guest journey. Automated AI text messaging and voice assistance allows guests to easily book stays, ask questions and access tailored recommendations while newly integrated self-service check-in solutions help hotels free up critical staffing resources. Qualified franchisees can pilot the new platform at no additional cost through the end of the year.The Company also unveiled Wyndham Gateway, a new guest Wi-Fi portal that provides a consistent, centralized login experience. Available for sign-up today, the portal unlocks a new hotel revenue stream through Wi-Fi upsell opportunities while eliminating loyalty enrollment requirements for any hotels leveraging the platform. The one-two combination helps franchisees turn what has always been a staple guest utility into a must-have, high-impact upgrade.
Simplified Sourcing Solutions Great guest experiences start with well-run operations and Wyndham is investing in both. That includes Wyndham Marketplace, a new hotel shopping platform that, when combined with the new Wyndham PriceIQ, makes it faster and easier for owners to find, compare and purchase brand-approved products at deeply negotiated rates. Meanwhile, a new partnership with sbe’s- Everybody Eats food and beverage solution is helping hotel owners offer chef-driven, restaurant quality offerings without the need for extensive equipment or large back-of-house operations.Wyndham is also helping owners tackle what has become a critical and growing issue within the hospitality industry: access to affordable, high-quality insurance. Through a partnership with HUB International, the 5th largest insurance brokerage firm globally, Wyndham franchisees now have access to transparent and tailored solutions designed to ensure compliance with Wyndham brand standards, improve coverage and lower costs.
The #1 Hotel Rewards Program, Now More Rewarding Building on its reputation as the industry’s leading hotel rewards program, Wyndham Rewards® is taking member benefits to the next level with the launch of Wyndham Rewards Experiences. Leveraging partnerships with world-renowned sports and entertainment brands—Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Minor League Baseball and Caesars Rewards—members can now use their points to bid on premier live events as well as unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Wyndham Rewards members will also soon have access to new dining perks, thanks to an industry-first partnership between Wyndham and Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, part of Dine Brands Global. Launching later this year, the partnership will allow Wyndham Rewards members staying at a Hotel by Wyndham to earn points when they place a mobile order with any of nearly 1,500 Applebee’s restaurants nationwide with free hotel delivery.Finally, when it comes to franchisees, Wyndham is evolving how it reimburses hotel owners for free night stay redemptions. Currently centered around occupancy, reimbursements will soon incorporate guest satisfaction scores, aiming to reward and recognize hotels delivering great guest experiences. Launching later this year, the model is designed to retain Wyndham’s position of delivering the highest reimbursement rates of any major hotel rewards program.
Marketing that Meets Guests Where They Are Capitalizing on the power of its unparalleled portfolio, Wyndham is also taking steps to help capture more demand at lower costs for its thousands of franchisees. This summer, the Company will launch a bold new portfolio-wide marketing campaign: Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way. Uniting for the first-time both Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Wyndham Rewards under one singular identity, the campaign brings to life Wyndham’s mission of Making Hotel Travel Possible for All. The campaign runs through the fall and will appear nationwide across TV, streaming services, online video, social, out-of-home, search, metasearch and display—helping ensure Wyndham is meeting travelers in the spaces and mediums they engage in most.
The Wyndham Advantage Known throughout the industry for its OwnerFirstTM approach to franchising, Wyndham’s latest initiatives are all part of what’s known as Wyndham Advantage and reinforce a long-term strategy that has not only helped the company achieve historic levels of franchisee retention—nearly 96%—but do so while growing a record development pipeline and one of the industry’s most decorated rewards programs. What’s more, since going public in 2018, the Company has invested nearly $350 million in best-in-class technology—delivering industry-first sales, marketing and digital innovations—all while expanding on-the-ground operations support for hotels.
