PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Oct. 1, 2018): Wyndham Grand is creating new VIP areas at its pools and restaurants with perks promoting quality time for guests at five of its hotels. The catch?
You can’t check your phone.
An expansion of its innovative Reconnected Family Experience, the unique hotel family program encouraging quality time over screen time, Wyndham Grand is now challenging guests to go phone-free at its pools and restaurants. Today through November 12, the brand will offer optional Phone-Free Zones for guests who wish to spend time unplugged. Guests who participate will have access to special perks, amenities and prizes, including the chance to win 75,000 Wyndham Rewards Points – enough for a future five-night vacation.*
Wyndham Grand is collaborating with Yondr – which creates phone-free spaces using a unique locking phone case – to free guests from the temptation of checking their screens during family time, empowering them to enjoy their vacations. Wyndham Grand is the first hotel brand to partner with Yondr creating physical tech-free spaces within its hotels.
“Before the pull of technology, we would never dream of wasting time on our phones instead of jumping straight into the pool and soaking up every minute of our vacation,” said Lisa Checchio, Chief Marketing Officer for Wyndham. “But today, adults and kids are so glued to their devices that we’ve had to add more pool chairs to accommodate all the poolside swiping. With these Phone-Free Zones, we’re creating new unplugged oases and tech-free tables that challenge families to consciously put the phone away for an afternoon – or just a meal – and make memories simply being together.”
Personal devices are impacting the way today’s families travel, with 53% of people never unplugging or reducing their phone usage on a trip. The average American looks at their screen once every 12 minutes on vacation. Wyndham Grand hotels have seen the effect, witnessing guests toting more than 12 devices per family on a trip – which impacts hotels’ Wi-Fi needs, lobby traffic patterns and pool operations, including added supply of pool chairs.
Power Down, Please
To opt in to a Phone-Free Zone, guests can check in with an attendant at the pool or restaurant, or ask any Wyndham Grand team member about going phone-free. The process is simple:
Guests can visit the Phone-Free Zone and check in with a Wyndham Grand team member at the pool or restaurant to receive a Yondr case.
A Wyndham Grand team member will help the guest insert their phone in the Yondr case, which will remain locked while the guest is in the Phone-Free Zone. The phone will remain in the guest’s possession at all times while the case is locked.
When ready to access their phone again, guests can simply visit the nearest unlocking station, and with a simple tap, unlock their Yondr case.
Guests who participate will receive access to the space, which includes special perks – think exclusive pool floats and off-menu treats – along with a copy of The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions and a chance to win 75,000 Wyndham Rewards points which they can later redeem for a vacation.*
Phone-Free Zones are available from October 1, 2018 through November 12, 2018 at the following Wyndham Grand hotels offering the Reconnected Family Experience: Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort in Orlando, Fla.; Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort in Clearwater, Fla.; Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront in Chicago, Ill.; The Mills House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel in Charleston, S.C.; and Hotel Galvez & Spa, a Wyndham Grand Hotel in Galveston, Texas.
The Reconnected Revolution
Wyndham Grand is bringing quality time back to family vacations with Reconnected, a Wyndham Grand Family Experience, a unique family program addressing the dire need for quality time over screen time. While most family travel programs separate parents and kids, Reconnected enables imaginative play time together. Be it building the ultimate blanket fort, creating shadow-puppets or taking a literary adventure with The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions by Tracey Hecht, this new offering reminds families to slow down and enjoy time together, without the distraction of a screen.

Award-winning midscale hotel brand debuts in China and bolsters North American offerings;
Continued midscale growth further strengthens Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ segment leadership position
PARSIPPANY, N.J.(Sept. 25, 2018) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor with nearly 9,000 hotels and 20 powerhouse brands, is bolstering its network of midscale hotels and extending the global footprint of its award-winning Wingate by Wyndham® brand with the recent opening of 14 locations across both hemispheres, including the first Wingate hotel in China and new additions to the brand’s established presence in the U.S. and Canada.
Wingate is suited for travelers seeking balance in work, life, and everything in between, offering what’s needed to stay connected, productive, and ready for whatever comes next – like inviting, contemporary lounges; free breakfast; flexible and functional meeting space; and spacious guest rooms. The introduction of its first hotel in China, plus additions across the U.S. and British Columbia, Canada, brings the expanding brand’s global presence to nearly 170 hotels. As of June 30, 2018, Wingate’s global pipeline consisted of 74 hotels, nearly 60 percent of which were new construction.
“The global middle class, which is growing steadily at an estimated rate of 160 million people each year, continues to travel more and seek out great experiences and value,” said Tom Barber, chief development and strategy officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Expanding Wingate in high-demand markets around the world exposes the brand to new circles of travelers, and doing so with established hotel developers sharing our passion for delivering consistent, guest-centric experiences will help propel continued growth and success.”
U.S. Surge
Driving Wingate’s latest growth spurt in the U.S. is a newly-signed franchise agreement with State Bank of Texas for 10 hotels across the Midwest and Northeast; the addition of an 80-room hotel in Moses Lake, Wash.; and the opening of the newly constructed, 123-room Wingate by Wyndham Nashville Airport, the brand’s first location in Nashville, which is consistently named as one of the top places to visit. Located three miles from Nashville International Airport and 10 miles from downtown, the hotel puts travelers close to where they need to be. Features include 123 modern, spacious guest rooms; the brand’s signature comfortable communal lobby space; free Wi-Fi and daily breakfast; laundry services; and two meeting rooms.
The hotel reflects the brand’s design-driven prototype, created to meet travelers’ needs without skimping on services and amenities while also lowering development costs and capturing greater efficiencies for hotel owners. This is the first of four Wingate hotels owned by Corinthian Development Company to open in the U.S., with locations under construction and set to open in the next year in Seattle, Wash.; San Jose, Cali.; and Denver, Colo. The brand plans to add a newly built location in Long Island City, N.Y., in 2019.
Debuting in China
Wingate by Wyndham Sanya Luhuitou, located in the heart of China’s tropical island getaway in Hainan Province, is the brand’s first hotel in China and the Asia Pacific region. With its temperate climate, the expansion of international flights, and greater visa-free access for tourists arriving to Hainan from more than 50 countries, tourism and demand in Sanya is on the rise making it a prime market for hotel development.
Designed for vacationers reveling in China’s popular seaside destination, the newly constructed modern oasis features three outdoor pools, multiple bars and restaurants, a kids club with indoor and outdoor play areas, an extensive art collection, free Wi-Fi, and a 24/7 shuttle to nearby Dadonghai Beach. The resort’s 190 contemporarily-designed guest rooms and suites come complete with sitting areas, spacious bathrooms, and balconies with stunning mountain, garden, or harbor views.
Wyndham plans to expand the Wingate brand further in China, with a 345-room hotel in Xining set to open in 2020.
British Columbia Bound
The addition of the brand’s latest Canadian destination – the 83-room Wingate by Wyndham Kamloops – marks the brand’s debut in British Columbia and widens its current footprint in the country to eight hotels.
Located off the Trans-Canada Highway near the North and South Thompson Rivers, the hotel puts guests in the heart of scenic Kamloops, which saw a record year of tourism growth in 2017 with nearly two million visitors. The newly constructed hotel features modern design and natural earth tones; free hot breakfast and Wi-Fi; a relaxing indoor pool and hot tub; a well-equipped fitness center; an on-site mart; and 750 square feet of meeting space.
Wyndham will continue adding to Wingate’s Canadian roster, having recently signed deals for two hotels in Lethbridge, Alberta, and Kanata, Ontario, expected to open in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
“Regardless of their reason for staying with us, Wingate’s top priority is delivering best-in-class service to each guest who walks through our doors and each hotel owner who raises the brand’s flag,” said Larry Hambro, vice president of operations, Wingate by Wyndham. “Satisfaction scores ranking it high above the competition year after year combined with consistent high performance and an efficient, modern prototype design, are driving forces behind Wingate’s current expansion momentum in North America.”

Wyndham Rewards Expands PGA TOUR Presence, Introduces New $10 Million Bonus Raising
the Stakes for Players Heading into the Wyndham Championship and FedExCup Playoffs.
Wyndham and PGA TOUR officials celebrate the unveiling of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. From left: Bobby Long, Chairman of the Piedmont-Triad Charitable Foundation; Eliot Hamlisch, Vice President and Leader of the Wyndham Rewards program; Jay Monahan, PGA TOUR Commissioner; Mark Brazil, Tournament Director of the Wyndham Championship; and Steve Holmes, Chairman of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Wyndham Destinations.
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (September 18, 2018) – Wyndham Rewards®—the world’s most generous guest rewards program spanning more than 25,000 hotels, club resorts, affiliated resorts and vacation rentals globally—today unveiled plans to expand its presence on the PGA TOUR with the introduction of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10.
A new $10 million bonus to be split among the PGA TOUR’s top 10 regular season finishers, the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 is designed to add a new layer of drama over the course of the regular season, which culminates with the Wyndham Championship, the final event before the FedExCup Playoffs.
While Wyndham has been a proud sponsor of the Wyndham Championship since 2007, this year marked the first year that Wyndham Rewards took the role of proud title sponsor following the split of Wyndham Worldwide into two separate public companies earlier this year: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchise company, and Wyndham Destinations, the world’s largest vacation ownership and exchange company and North America’s largest professionally managed rental business.
“The Wyndham Championship plays a pivotal role in the regular season as it’s the last chance players have to secure a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs,” said Eliot Hamlisch, vice president and leader of the Wyndham Rewards program. “In joining with the PGA TOUR to introduce the Wyndham Rewards Top 10, we’re not only elevating the significance of our own tournament, but also placing a premium on great golf all season long. What’s more, as the world’s most generous rewards program, we couldn’t think of a more fitting way to recognize the PGA TOUR’s best of the best than by saying, ‘You’ve earned this.’”
The Wyndham Rewards Top 10 leader will earn a prize of $2 million, followed by $1.5 million for the runner-up, with decreasing amounts based on position from there. The 10th place finisher will receive $500,000. News of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 was shared at a PGA TOUR press event earlier today, as the organization kicks off the finale of the FedExCup Playoffs at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. The announcement was complemented with the introduction of a simplified, strokes-based scoring system for the TOUR Championship beginning next season, and the doubling of the total FedExCup bonus pool available to players, which now totals $70 million, inclusive of the prize money from the Wyndham Rewards Top 10.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (August 13, 2018) – Wyndham Rewards®—the world’s most generous guest rewards program spanning more than 25,000 hotels, club resorts, condos and vacation rentals—today checked-in to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., as it prepares to welcome tens of thousands of spectators to a vacation-themed week of fun, sun and giving back at the 79th annual Wyndham Championship.
Considered one of the most fan-friendly stops on the PGA TOUR, this year’s Wyndham Championship invites fans to escape for a tournament experience unlike any other. More than just championship golf, the Wyndham Championship is an escape from the everyday as fans and families are transported to a tropical oasis and invited to help raise funds for multiple local charities. From rock climbing and face painting with the kids to sipping drinks at Margaritaville and relaxing on a private beach, the tournament is a showcase of the best that Wyndham has to offer. Plus, every fan has the chance to experience “Key to Wyn,” where one swipe of a key card could unlock the door to any of thousands of prizes, from flat-screen TVs and coffee makers, to free nights at Wyndham Rewards destinations around the globe.
Two Distinct Travel Portfolios, One Amazing Rewards Program
While Wyndham has been the proud sponsor of the tournament since 2007, this marks the first year that Wyndham Rewards has assumed the role of title sponsor following the split of Wyndham Worldwide into two separate public companies earlier this year: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchise company, and Wyndham Destinations, the world’s largest vacation ownership and exchange company and North America’s largest professionally managed rental business. As both companies begin this exciting new chapter, they remain connected by a shared history and by Wyndham Rewards, the award-winning guest rewards program spanning both companies’ travel portfolios.
“Throughout the world, Wyndham Rewards has become known for its unmatched generosity and for championing the everyday traveler,” said Eliot Hamlisch, leader of the Wyndham Rewards program. “Those values stay top of mind here at Sedgefield, where we’re delighted to not only share with fans a one-of-a-kind tournament experience, but join them in giving back to this amazing community that helps make the Wyndham Championship possible year after year. To them, we say—You’ve Earned This!”
Wyndham Championship Fore! Good
Creating a positive impact in the community has always been a central focus of the Wyndham Championship, and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good is the signature philanthropic platform that enables the tournament to give back to those in the Piedmont Triad. Whether inspiring the next generation through education, supporting community development, or helping preserve our natural resources, the Wyndham Championship’s local impact is “Fore! Good.”
This year, Wyndham will host a silent auction featuring exciting items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences with net proceeds benefiting a host of local and regional Wyndham Championship Fore! Good charitable partners, including Birdies Fore Backpacks, The First Tee of the Triad, The Paul Tesori Foundation, The Kevin Harvick Foundation and The American Junior Golf Association, among others. Items up for auction include a total of 12 vacation packages to exciting destinations like Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort in Hawaii, Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach in Clearwater, Fla. and Dolce Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif. as well as exciting experiences with Caesars Entertainment and Roush Fenway Racing.
Other philanthropic efforts associated with the tournament include:
Youth and Education – Through “Birdies Fore Backpacks,” Wyndham Rewards works with local organizations—Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks, Out of the Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point—to help feed children from low income families around the Piedmont Triad. Backpacks are packed with nutritionally sound meals, which families take home every weekend. Since its creation in 2014, the program has provided more than 430,000 meals to thousands of local families.
Community Development – In partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro, Wyndham Rewards will, for a third consecutive year, donate the housing structure from its popular “Key to Wyn” attraction at the tournament to a deserving local family. Following the tournament, the structure will be disassembled, moved to its new location and rebuilt into a safe, affordable home for a local Greensboro family.
Environmental Sustainability – Highlighting its commitment to preserving our natural resources, Wyndham Rewards is proud to partner with the Sedgefield Country Club as the home of the Wyndham Championship. Under the management of McConnell Golf, the historic course has taken significant steps in recent years to save energy and improve its sustainability efforts, including upgraded, energy efficient lighting and new, water efficient fixtures. In addition, Sedgefield Country Club is applying for the Audubon education and certification program to protect the valuable, natural areas and wildlife habitats that golf courses provide while improving efficiencies and minimizing the impact of golf course operations.

PARSIPPANY, N.J., August 1, 2018 – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2018, which included its spin-off as an independent public company and the acquisition of La Quinta, adding over 900 hotels and nearly 89,000 rooms to its franchise system. Highlights include:
Revenues increased 31% compared with second quarter 2017, to $435 million.
Net income was $21 million for the second quarter; adjusted net income was $73 million, a 43% increase over the prior-year quarter.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 and adjusted diluted EPS were $0.73.
Further Adjusted diluted EPS (calculated as if our spin-off and our acquisition and integration of La Quinta had occurred on January 1) were $0.86, above our projection of $0.79 to $0.84.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% compared with the prior-year quarter, to $125 million.
Further Adjusted EBITDA was $159 million, consistent with our projection of $150 to $160 million.
Global RevPAR increased 9% year-over-year and 4% in constant currency and excluding our 2018 acquisitions and divestitures.
System-wide rooms grew 12% year-over-year, and 3% excluding our 2018 acquisitions and divestitures.
“Our team’s sharp focus on executing against our strategic and operating plans allowed us to deliver solid growth, in line with our prior projections, in our initial quarter as an independent public company,” said Geoffrey A. Ballotti, chief executive officer. “We also continued to strengthen our presence in the midscale hotel segment with the addition of the La Quinta brand and its over 900 hotels in May.”
Revenues were $435 million, compared with $331 million in the second quarter of 2017. Results reflect $77 million of incremental revenues from La Quinta. Excluding the impact from the acquisition of La Quinta, revenues increased 8% primarily due to 8% higher royalties and franchise fees, as well as a 17% increase in marketing, reservation and loyalty fees that in 2018 included global franchisee conference revenues that were fully offset by conference-related expenses.
Net income was $21 million compared with $48 million for the second quarter of 2017, reflecting separation-related and transaction-related costs incurred this year. Diluted EPS was $0.21.
Adjusted net income was $73 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared with $51 million in the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter earnings benefited from our revenue growth and lower taxes, partially offset by the timing of marketing expenses and higher interest expense. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to our non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.
Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $125 million, compared with $105 million in the second quarter of 2017. Results primarily reflect the growth in revenues and $12 million of adjusted EBITDA from the La Quinta acquisition, partially offset by the timing of marketing expenses.
The Company estimates that, if it had completed its spin-off and had acquired and fully integrated La Quinta prior to April, its Further Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter would have been $159 million, and its Further Adjusted diluted earnings per share would have been $0.86. See Tables 5 and 6 for additional information.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s hotel system consisted of nearly 9,000 properties and more than 792,000 rooms, a 12% increase compared with the second quarter of 2017. Room count is up 3% year-over-year excluding our 2018 acquisitions and divestitures. Our development pipeline increased to nearly 1,400 hotels and over 171,000 rooms, a 13% year-over-year room increase, reflecting the addition of 24,000 La Quinta pipeline rooms and the removal of 2,000 Knights Inn pipeline rooms. Approximately 51% of our pipeline is international and 70% is new construction.
Business Segment Discussion
The following discussion of second quarter operating results focuses on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for each of our segments.
Hotel Franchising
Revenues increased 24% compared to second quarter 2017, including $26 million of incremental revenues from La Quinta. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of La Quinta and the divestiture of Knights Inn, revenues increased 13% primarily due to 9% higher royalties and franchise fees, as well as a 17% increase in marketing, reservation and loyalty fees that included global franchisee conference revenues. The 9% growth in royalties and franchise fees reflected our 3% room growth and 5% RevPAR growth, excluding 2018 acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA grew 16% to $129 million, including $9 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA from La Quinta. Excluding the impact from the acquisition of La Quinta, Adjusted EBITDA grew 8% reflecting the growth in royalties and franchise fee revenues, partially offset by a $3 million timing-related increase in marketing expenses compared to marketing fund revenues.
Hotel Management
Revenues increased 49% compared to the prior-year period, reflecting $51 million of incremental revenues from La Quinta (including $46 million of cost-reimbursement revenues). Excluding the impact from the acquisition of La Quinta, revenues declined $3 million reflecting lower cost-reimbursement revenues and lower owned-hotel revenues. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4 million compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting $3 million of Adjusted EBITDA from La Quinta.
Other Items
Acquisition of La Quinta – The Company completed the acquisition of La Quinta on May 30, 2018, adding over 900 franchised properties with nearly 89,000 rooms to the Company’s midscale hotel system. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $2 billion, including $240 million of taxes and other items, which we are obligated to pay on behalf of La Quinta Holdings Inc. during the third quarter of 2018. The Company continues to expect to generate $55 million to $70 million in annual synergies in connection with this transaction.
Divestiture of Knights Inn – The Company in May 2018 completed the sale of its Knights Inn brand, consisting of approximately 350 franchised hotels with approximately 21,000 rooms. Knights Inn’s typical franchise agreements were much shorter, and its average U.S. RevPAR was much lower, than the Company’s other brands.
Spin-off from Former Parent Company – On May 31, 2018, the Company completed its spin-off from Wyndham Worldwide through the tax-free distribution of the Company’s stock to shareholders of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation. The Company’s stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WH” on June 1, 2018.
Share Repurchases – Following the completion of the spin-off, the Company repurchased approximately 246,000 shares of its common stock for $15 million in the second quarter.
Outlook
The Company provided the following outlook, which assumes that its spin-off and the acquisition and integration of La Quinta had all been completed on January 1, 2018, for full-year 2018:
Further Adjusted revenues of $1.99 billion to $2.04 billion.
Further Adjusted net income of $300 million to $320 million.
Further Adjusted EBITDA of $590 million to $610 million.
Further Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.98 to $3.18, based on a Further Adjusted diluted share count of 100.6 million, which excludes future share repurchases.
Rooms growth of 11% to 13%, or 2% to 4% excluding our 2018 acquisitions and divestitures.
Constant-currency RevPAR growth of 7% to 8%, or approximately 3% excluding our 2018 acquisitions and divestitures.
More detailed projections are available in Table 6 of this press release. In determining adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures, as described in Table 5 of this press release. The Company is providing an outlook for net income, EBITDA and EPS only on a non-GAAP basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of these adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future.

Microtel reclaims top seat among economy hotel chains 15 out of 17 years;
Wingate leads midscale segment for fourth consecutive year
PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 24, 2018 – Top-ranked Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) brand duo, Microtel by Wyndham and Wingate by Wyndham, secured the highest guest satisfaction rankings in J.D. Power’s 2018 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Survey for economy and midscale hotel chains, respectively. With many of its brands earning J.D. Power-favorable rankings* – notably a double-digit overall satisfaction score increase and two-rank jump for Wyndham’s recently-acquired La Quinta midscale brand addition – the world’s largest hotel franchising company with nearly 9,000 hotels and 20 powerhouse brands continues commanding this respected study.
Microtel reclaimed this year’s leading economy segment position, a distinction it’s achieved 15 out of 17 years, earning the brand more J.D. Power accolades than any other economy hotel name and underscoring its “brilliantly-efficient” advantage. Wingate, the company’s midscale hotel brand built for connected travelers seeking balance in work and life, once again earned top segment honors for the fourth straight year.
“Whether for business or pleasure, we know travel is an important part of life – that’s why we maintain such a strong focus on ensuring that quality accommodations and positive guest experiences are attainable at every price point,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “With three of the top four economy brands and three of the top four midscale brands represented by brands of the ‘by Wyndham’ family – we are continuing to provide some of the best lodging accommodations in the industry, making hotel travel affordable, valued and possible for all.”
Determined by hotel travelers, the J.D. Power Guest Satisfaction Index Survey measures seven key experience factors on a 1,000 point scale: reservation; check-in/check-out; guest room; food and beverage; hotel services; hotel facilitates; and cost and fees.
Microtel by Wyndham
Microtel scored a total of 791 points within the economy segment, owning the top spot by 27 points more than the next-ranked brand and 43 more than the segment average. The purpose-built, all new construction prototype features contemporary room designs, communal work spaces and walk-up business centers, offering an elevated guest experience at an economy price. The brand currently has more than 320 hotels throughout North America.
Wingate by Wyndham
In the midscale segment, Wingate scored a total of 841 points, 29 more than the segment average and an increase of 8 points over the brand’s previous year score. The brand’s leading design – featuring an open lobby and lounge with integrated connectivity, a communal breakfast space and contemporary guest rooms with spacious bathrooms –gives guests everything they need to stay on-schedule and ready for whatever comes next. Today, the brand has more than 150 hotels in North America.
Economy and Midscale Leadership
Leveraging demographic and travel trends, Wyndham is capitalizing on growth opportunities across economy and midscale hotel segments, most recently with the acquisitions of La Quinta® and AmericInn by Wyndham®. The company’s laser-focus on driving quality growth and elevating the guest experience is strengthening its overall industry prominence.
*Following Microtel’s award-winning suit, Days Inn by Wyndham® and Howard Johnson by Wyndham® earned third and fourth top spots, respectively, within the economy segment; midscale frontrunners La Quinta® and AmericInn by Wyndham® joined Wingate among the second and fourth top midscale segment spots, respectively.

World’s largest hotel franchisor celebrates first La Quinta to break ground since acquisition; TRYP by Wyndham’s fourth Florida destination will bring urban lifestyle to the theme park capital of the world
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 28, 2018) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor with nearly 9,000 hotels and 20 powerhouse brands, is building its presence in Orlando, commencing side-by-side construction of two hotels under its La Quinta® and TRYP by Wyndham® brand flags on the famed International Drive close to the area’s best known attractions. The hotels mark the ninth La Quinta location in the Orlando market – the first to break ground since Wyndham acquired the leading midscale brand – and the city’s first TRYP by Wyndham hotel.
The La Quinta and TRYP by Wyndham hotels – both owned and developed by Miami-based Riviera Point Development Group and set to open in 2019 and 2020, respectively – will share a three-plus-acre site in the country’s most popular destination for visitors. The city became the first in the U.S. to surpass 70 million tourists, according to Visit Orlando, attracting 72 million visitors in 2017 – up from 68 million the previous year.
The new developments will widen Wyndham’s already sizable network of more than 50 hotels across 12 brands in the Orlando market.
“Orlando continues to draw travelers at a record-setting pace, creating new opportunities through relationships with established developers like Riviera Point Development Group to offer varied accommodations meeting the ever-evolving needs of travelers,” said Chip Ohlsson, executive vice president and chief development officer, North America, at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Expanding our portfolio of offerings with these two brands in particular – our trusted La Quinta name and cosmopolitan TRYP by Wyndham flag – delivers two distinct, high-quality experiences in a top destination flowing with a diverse network of holidaymakers and business travelers from around the world.”
Rising in Orlando
La Quinta
The four-story La Quinta hotel will feature 101 modern guest rooms; a comfortable and multifunctional great room for guests to gather, relax, or work; a fully equipped fitness center; a pool; and approximately 750 square feet of meeting space. Upon opening, it will join eight hotels already operating in the market under the La Quinta flag, and it will be the first in the city to reflect the brand’s contemporary Del Sol prototype. The Del Sol design combines clean geometric lines, bold colors, and varying textures with iconic brand elements, like La Quinta’s recognizable red-clay roof, and guest-centric offerings to enhance the stay experience while also helping maximize revenue-per-square foot for hotel developers.
Like all of the brand’s approximately 900 upper-midscale and midscale La Quinta and LQ Hotel™ locations in North and Latin America, the new La Quinta in Orlando will offer guests the brand’s signature Bright Morning Bed®, free Bright Side Breakfast®, spacious in-room work areas and free high-speed internet.
“La Quinta has long been a highly desirable, fast-growing brand that both hotel developers and travelers know and trust,” said Raj Trivedi, president of the La Quinta brand at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “To continue this growth in such a viable market with our efficient, guest-focused Del Sol design – and to do so under the umbrella of a leading hospitality company in Wyndham – is a significant milestone as we focus our efforts on planting the La Quinta flag in new destinations around the country.”
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts closed on its acquisition of La Quinta in May 2018, bolstering its position as a midscale lodging leader with approximately 37 percent of branded rooms in the midscale segment. The company immediately made status match and 1:1 point transfer available between Wyndham Rewards® and La Quinta ReturnsTM as it works to integrate the brand into Wyndham’s award-winning loyalty program by the second quarter of 2019.
TRYP by Wyndham
Slated to open in 2020, the new TRYP by Wyndham in Orlando becomes the fourth hotel in Florida for the growing cosmopolitan brand. Celebrating the spirit of the urban traveler, each TRYP hotel is infused with local spirit allowing guests to uncover each destination’s individual culture and setting the stage for authentic, local experiences. The 98-room hotel will offer the brand’s hallmark social lobby, library space and small meeting room; a bar and restaurant featuring TRYP’s signature tapas, or small plates, service; a gym; and an outdoor pool.
With its unique cities and range of experiences, Florida remains a top market for the brand which recently opened TRYP by Wyndham Sebastian St. Augustine, TRYP by Wyndham Maritime Fort Lauderdale and TRYP by Wyndham Miami Bay Harbor in “The Sunshine State”. The brand’s global pipeline includes approximately 4,000 rooms and 29 hotels, including Florida locations such as Coral Gables, Miami and Kissimmee. The company also recently announced plans for a dual-branded TRYP by Wyndham and Wyndham Grand concept in Miami’s popular Brickell district.

Custom-created umbrella innovation shields from vacation rain while beaming happiness-inducing rays
Days Inn by Wyndham Forecasting Bright Skies All Summer Long Thanks to “Days InnBrella”
Custom-created umbrella innovation shields from vacation rain while beaming happiness-inducing rays
Parsippany, N.J. (June 12, 2018) – April showers may bring May flowers, but across much of the U.S. June stakes claim as the rainiest month of the year, bringing unwelcome gloom at the start of the popular summer travel season. Days Inn® by Wyndham won’t stand for it: the iconic economy hotel brand is protecting summer trips from ill-timed drizzle with its exclusive Days InnBrella, a first-of-its-kind umbrella that blocks rainfall while simultaneously emitting lit-from-within LED beams to brighten even the dreariest days.
This custom-created portable beam of happy is an overcast day’s worst enemy, thanks to light therapy-like illumination radiating from the inside. Rain stays out and sunshine stays in, making for brighter days no matter where your travels take you.
“Each day has so much to offer and at Days Inn we believe nothing—not even gloomy weather—should ruin a hard-earned vacation,” said Patrick Breen, senior vice president, brand operations for Days Inn by Wyndham. “A little travel confidence, like the promise of sun-inspired rays at your fingertips, can go a long way in helping travelers seize every day and max out their travel fun. With Days InnBrella, if it rains, it can still shine.”
At its nearly 1,500 hotels across the country, Days Inn’s warm hospitality helps make guests’ days brighter and emboldens travelers to take advantage of every possible moment, and the Days InnBrella helps do just that. This “Inn-ovation” is the first-ever umbrella to emulate the principles of LED light therapy, which research shows can help boost energy levels and improve mood. Each generates more than 4,000 LUX, giving guests boosts of energy and perking up gray days through uplifting illumination.
Beginning today, guests at Days Inn hotels in some of America’s rainiest cities can power up the Days InnBrella during their stays when the weather tries to dampen summer fun:
The brand is also giving away a limited number to travelers on its Twitter handle (@DaysInn) now through June 26, 2018. For more information and full terms and conditions, visit www.daysinn.com/innbrella.
