Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is the world's largest hotel franchising company by number of properties, spun off from Wyndham Worldwide in 2018. The company's history traces back to 1981 when the first Wyndham Hotel opened in Dallas, Texas, though many of its legacy brands are much older. Headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey, Wyndham encompasses approximately 9,200 hotels across more than 95 countries, representing over 830,000 rooms worldwide. The company's portfolio of 24 brands is heavily weighted toward the economy and midscale segments, including globally recognized names like Super 8, Days Inn, Ramada, La Quinta, Howard Johnson, Travelodge, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The Wyndham Rewards loyalty program is one of the most generous in the hospitality industry, offering a simple earning and redemption structure with over 100 million enrolled members. Wyndham operates almost exclusively on a franchise model, making it an asset-light company that generates revenue primarily from franchise fees and royalties. This model has enabled rapid global expansion, particularly in China and other emerging markets. The company has invested in technology platforms to support its franchisees and has committed to sustainability through its Wyndham Green certification program. Wyndham employs approximately 2,500 corporate associates who support its vast network of franchised hotels, serving the value-conscious traveler segment with reliable, accessible accommodations worldwide.
