Wyndham Grows China Portfolio to 543 Hotels and 67,559 Rooms

Wyndham Hotel Group has expanded its portfolio of hotels in China, signing eight new Ramada hotels.

The new hotels will be added over the next two years in the cities of Linyi, Liuzhou, Changzhou, Changsha, Suzhou, Wuyishan and Xishuangbanna. These properties will join the brand’s existing 49 hotels, making Ramada the second most prolific Wyndham Hotel Group brand in China, after Super 8.

Among the eight new Ramada hotels, the Ramada Suzhou Luzhi was the first to open in November 2012 with 133 rooms in the beautiful water town draped in over 1,400 years of history.

The properties due to open in 2013 are: Ramada Changzhou; Ramada Linyi North; Ramada Plaza Liuzhou Liudong; and Ramada Plaza Xishuangbanna.

Ramada Plaza Changsha West; Ramada Wuyishan and Ramada Plaza Changsha Riverside will open in 2014.

Together, these properties will add over 1,500 rooms to the Wyndham Hotel Group portfolio.

China now accounts for the largest number of Wyndham Hotel Group properties in the Asia Pacific region with hotels under the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Days Inn and Super 8 brands. Wyndham Hotel Group now has 543 hotels and 67,559 rooms in the country.

“Wyndham Hotel Group remains committed to continued, ambitious development within China,” said Robert Loewen, chief operating officer of Wyndham Hotel Group. “The lack of quality rooms in many second-tier and third-tier cities provides us with opportunities to further expand our presence. We are proud to announce these new additions which will help grow our footprint in the region.”
