Wyndham ups presence in China and Thailand

HAVING opened nearly 100 properties across Asia-Pacific last year, Wyndham Hotel Group will add two more to its regional portfolio, one in Sanya, China, and another in Khao Lak, Thailand.

Now under construction, the beachfront Wyndham Khao Lak Resort, owned by South Sea Prakarang Resort Co., is scheduled to welcome guests by late 2011. The hotel will feature 134 resort rooms and 66 villas.

The 26-storey Wyndham Sanya Resort, to be built by Sanya Hengsen Industrial Investment Co., is expected to open in January 2014. Each of the 403 rooms will provide scenic views of the bay.

“The Asia-Pacific region continues to be a key area of focus for our company’s development,” said Eric Danziger, Wyndham Hotel Group president and CEO.

The group said the addition of the Sanya resort strengthened its position as the largest US-based hotel company in China, where the company franchises 301 hotels representing more than 46,000 rooms under the Wyndham, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Days Inn and Super 8 brands. There are now 14 Wyndham hotels open or under development in China.
