Wyndham Hotel Group has confirmed it will flag all of its properties with the “…by Wyndham” designation, with the process beginning next week.
The decision is largely designed to drive online engagement.
It means as many as 9,100 properties around the world will have the “…by Wyndham” branding moving forward.
Around 6,000 hotels will be renamed in the coming months.
Among the new brands will be Days Inn by Wyndham, Howard Johnson by Wyndham, Ramada by Wyndham, and Dazzler by Wyndham.
The move was revealed by Geoff Ballotti, Wyndham Hotels Group chief executive, during the company’s annual conference, this year being hosted at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
More than 6,000 delegates are in attendance at the event, with more information on the official website.
