Wyndham spices up Indian portfolio with midscale entry

WYNDHAM Hotel Group is strengthening its position in India, with its first Ramada Encore hotel to open in Bangalore at the end of 2011. The brand debut follows recent announcements of the chain’s expansion plans in the country.

The group’s first Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property for the market will be unveiled this year. It will also introduce the Days Inn brand, with three new hotels to open over the next few years.

Owned by J.A.K. Associates, the eight-storey Ramada Encore will be located 15 minutes from the city centre. Geared towards value-conscious guests, the lifestyle boutique hotel will have 90 rooms featuring contemporary décor.

Ken Greene, Wyndham Hotel Group president and managing director – Asia-Pacific, said: “India is a strong growth market for us with many opportunities, especially in the mid-scale space.

“The launch of the Ramada Encore brand allows us to diversify our offerings in the country and provide travellers with yet another choice within Wyndham Hotel Group.”

Ramada Encore’s amenities include a fitness centre, a multi-cuisine restaurant, a lounge bar and meeting facilities.
