PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels &
Resorts, the world's largest hotel franchising company with over
8,900 hotels across nearly 95 countries, today unveiled its
21st brand, Registry Collection HotelsSM,
adding a luxury offering to the upper end of the Company's growing
brand portfolio while further advancing its mission to make hotel
travel possible for all.
The launch of Registry Collection Hotels comes at a time
when a growing number of independent luxury hotel owners are
seeking out proven and established partners to help them recover
from the challenges of the global pandemic. Registry
Collection Hotels allows these owners to maintain their
independent spirit and brand individuality while tapping into the
global scale of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts along
with its award-winning Wyndham Rewards® loyalty program,
helping them to drive more direct bookings at a lower cost of
distribution.
"As the hospitality industry continues to rebound,
independent luxury hotel owners around the world have approached
our development teams seeking sales, marketing and reservations
support under a proven and established luxury brand," said Geoff
Ballotti, president and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
"The creation of Registry Collection Hotels was a natural fit,
given Registry's growing global recognition as the world's largest
luxury exchange program with over 200 high-end luxury fractional
resorts and the continued successful management of that program by
our partner Travel + Leisure Co. (formerly Wyndham Destinations).
Registry Collection Hotels now fill an important space at
the upper end of the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts portfolio,
allowing us to very selectively provide support to independent
hoteliers around the globe who meet the highest standards of
luxury service and accommodations."
Individuality, Elevated
Handpicked to deliver
incredible experiences in spectacular destinations, the hallmark of
Registry Collection Hotels is the allure
of their unmistakable individuality, elevated by
thoughtful design and world-class service. From brilliant
architectural details paired with serene backdrops to
dream-worthy locations, every stay with Registry Collection Hotels
is meant to be as unique and indulgent as the hotels
themselves.
"We are truly excited about the renewed potential of the global
travel, leisure and lifestyle industry, as the world rejoices and
reunites after more than a year of lockdowns and restrictions,"
said Michael Brown, CEO, Travel + Leisure Co. "Experts and
travelers are looking forward to exploring again for curated and
exclusive experiences around the world. The launch of Registry
Collection Hotels is a natural evolution for Wyndham Hotels
& Resorts, building on the brand's iconic
heritage and global network. As Travel + Leisure Co., the world's
leading membership and leisure travel company, with nearly 20
travel brands – including The Registry Collection – we are looking
forward to designing a new future for the global leisure
industry."

incredible location, postcard views, and world-class
service, we couldn't be more excited to be launching
Registry Collection Hotels with one of the region's premier
developers and a long-time customer of Travel + Leisure Co., Dr.
Kemil A. Rizk."
"From day one, the team at Wyndham has been holistically focused
on the needs of our resort, working closely with our team as we
collaboratively develop our strategy to announce our flagship
affiliation," said Dr. Rizk, president and CEO, Royal Resorts®. "What we value about Wyndham, in
addition to their tremendous scale and distribution, is their
appreciation for what makes Grand Residences Riviera Cancun unique
and their passion for ensuring our individuality is never
compromised. The highly esteemed reputation of Wyndham makes us
proud to be marking this milestone with them and we look forward to
continuing to develop our brand alliance."
