PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding its
established presence of over 1,400 hotels in China, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the
world's largest hotel franchisor with nearly 9,000 hotels and 20
iconic brands and the largest U.S.-based hotel company in
China, recently marked its
landmark 100th Ramada® by Wyndham location in the
country with the opening of the 194-room Ramada Plaza Fuxian Lake.
Wyndham, which acquired the international rights to the Ramada
flag in 2004 with just 14 hotels in China, has steadily grown the brand's presence
in key business and leisure travel markets there – including
Shanghai, Beijing, Xiamen, and Chongqing, among others – offering a
globally-recognized and trusted hotel name to the country's
ever-growing base of travelers. Today, the brand's footprint
consists of over 850 locations in more than 60 countries around the
world.
"The increasing travel habits and spending among China's burgeoning middle class – which is
expected to grow to more than 500 million people by 2022 –
continues to drive the need for a range of quality, value-driven
accommodations throughout the country, from urban to rural
destinations," said Bob Loewen,
executive vice president and chief operating officer, Wyndham
Hotels & Resorts.
"Ramada has delivered sought-after lodging options and
high-caliber service around the world for six-plus decades.
Reaching this milestone of 100 hotels in China signifies the confidence and trust hotel
owners and guests have in the internationally renowned brand, and
highlights the vast opportunities to continue expanding Ramada even
further in the region," he continued.
Located in Yunnan Province's
Changjiang County, the newly constructed Ramada Plaza Fuxian Lake is situated within
Southwest China's mountain
landscape close to the Lucong Scenic Area, Maotianshan Mountain
National Geo-Park, and Kunming International Airport. The
tranquility of nearby Fuxian Lake –
a popular attraction located just five kilometers away – inspired
the hotel's relaxing design elements, like its wavy exterior and
neutral color palettes.
Services and amenities at China's newest Ramada include two eateries,
daily free breakfast offering traditional Sichuan and Yunnan cuisine, a heated indoor pool, a
fitness center, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel's 760 square meters of
meeting and event space comprises five meeting rooms accommodating
up to 600 guests.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts currently has seven brands spanning
all segments operating in China,
including Ramada, Super 8® by Wyndham, Days Inn® by Wyndham, and
its flagship Wyndham® chain. The Company debuted two of its brands
in the country in the past year – the lifestyle TRYP by Wyndham
flag and the award-winning midscale Wingate by Wyndham® name – with
the openings of new hotels in Xian
and Sanya.
As of September, 30, 2018, Wyndham had more than 90 Ramada
hotels in its pipeline in China.
