Wyndham Expands Global Luxury Portfolio Through Strategic Partnership with HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts announced a strategic partnership with HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts to grow its luxury Registry Collection Hotels brand. More than 40 independent luxury hotels from HotelREZ's Elegant Hotels of the World portfolio will join Registry Collection by early next year, including properties in Greece, Thailand, Northern Ireland, Malta and Colombia. The deal gives Wyndham Rewards' roughly 129 million members new luxury earn-and-redeem options and opens HotelREZ's upscale independents to Wyndham's technology and distribution stack — a modest but strategically meaningful push into the luxury segment where Wyndham is underweight.
