PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hotel giant
Wyndham Hotel Group's rapidly mounting global presence hit a major
milestone today, catapulting its presence in Latin America and the Caribbean to 200 hotels thanks to the highly
anticipated openings of South
America's first Wyndham Grand® locations.
The momentous achievement comes less than five years after
Wyndham Hotel Group welcomed its 100th hotel in the
region. Now, with the debut of its upper-upscale Wyndham Grand
brand in Asunción, Paraguay, and
Montevideo, Uruguay, 10 of the
company's 18 brands operate in 11 countries across the
continent.
Situated in the centers of these two capital cities, the newly
constructed Esplendor Asunción – A Wyndham Grand Hotel and
Esplendor Montevideo – A Wyndham Grand Hotel offer business
and leisure travelers the signature Wyndham Grand experience, where
local culture and style permeate each hotel, and unpretentious and
approachable atmospheres allow guests to enjoy the grand things in
life like pristine guest rooms, relaxing spas, one-of-a-kind dining
experiences, and more.
"Wyndham Hotel Group has made massive strides in Latin America over the last five years,
establishing our diverse brands in key markets and meeting the
needs of a growing traveler base seeking globally-recognized,
quality hotel brands," said Paulo
Pena, Wyndham Hotel Group's president and managing director,
Latin America and the Caribbean. "It's only fitting we commemorate
our 200th hotel in this growing region by introducing
one of our most aspirational brands to South America. At our newest Wyndham Grands,
travelers exploring Asunción and Montevideo will find accessible, yet
distinctly luxurious, accommodations and unmatched respites in the
hearts of these dynamic cities."
The Wyndham Grand portfolio is exploding around the world with
brand flags flying in sought-after destinations like Athens, Phuket, Shanghai, Istanbul, Chicago, and Clearwater Beach, Fla. The brand also plans to
add stunning, five-star new-construction resorts in Barbados, Belize, and Nevis over the next two years.
Esplendor Asunción – A Wyndham Grand Hotel
The
strikingly modern, 16-story hotel is conveniently positioned in
Asunción's vibrant corporate center within walking distance of top
businesses, art galleries, shopping, and restaurants. Guests at
Esplendor Asunción – A Wyndham Grand Hotel can take in panoramic
views of the city's skyline from the rooftop pool, sun terrace, and
snack bar.
Refreshingly welcoming colors adorn its 206 modern, bright guest
rooms and suites, and more than 300 square meters (more than 3,400
square feet) of meeting space can accommodate up to 180 event
guests. Additional amenities and services include a fully equipped
fitness center, treatment rooms and a sauna at the spa, free Wi-Fi,
and complimentary breakfast and locally sourced lunch and dinner
dishes at the on-site restaurant.
Esplendor Montevideo – A Wyndham Grand
Hotel
Designed by prestigious Uruguayan architect
Carlos Ott, this 241-key hotel
combines avant-garde design and comfort in Punta Carretas, one of
Montevideo's chicest neighborhoods
located just steps from the area's best known restaurants,
boutiques, and cultural sites.
Each guest room boasts modern décor and picturesque views of the
city, sea, or Club de Golf del Uruguay, the nearby golf course. Hotel
features include a sun-soaked rooftop pool, a state-of-the-art
fitness center, a spa complete with a steam room and sauna,
complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, on-site bicycle rentals, and a free
daily breakfast buffet at the hotel's restaurant. Four meeting
rooms span 780 square meters (nearly 8,400 square feet) for a
variety of business and social events.
These two latest additions to the Wyndham Grand family, both
managed by Wyndham Hotel Group, strengthen the company's collection
of managed properties which recently grew to more than 100 hotels
and resorts around the world with the acquisition of Fën Hotels, a
leading management company in Latin
America with 25 hotels across Argentina, Peru, Costa
Rica, Uruguay, Paraguay, and the U.S.
