What Wyndham Hotels & Resorts does
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is a hotel franchising company. It licenses its brands to independent hotel owners rather than owning most hotels itself, and it says this keeps its capital needs low. It describes itself as the largest hotel franchisor by number of franchised properties, with 8,300 affiliated hotels in about 100 countries.
Its brands include Super 8, Days Inn, Travelodge, Microtel and Howard Johnson, and it has 25 brands in all. They sit mostly in the economy, midscale and upper midscale price tiers and are located largely in smaller cities. Most of its royalty income comes from the United States.
Wyndham earns royalties and other fees from its franchisees. It also reports ancillary revenues from other services. It competes with other hotel companies, online travel sites and home-sharing networks, and it says AI tools could also change how travelers find hotels.
