The Wyndham Advantage—our comprehensive, personalized, and highly valuable suite of benefits for owners—provides a wide-ranging and personalized structure of support. Our goal, as a hospitality powerhouse, is to leverage our size and reach to simplify the daily operations of your hotel, reduce your total cost of doing business, and connect you to the over 92 million loyal members of Wyndham Rewards.
In 2018, we united our family of brands under the influential Wyndham banner, officially designating every brand as “by Wyndham.” Adding our family name to every front door and every ad placement will drive exceptional awareness for all of our brands, from upscale to economy. It also gives our guests a clear connection to our award-winning loyalty program, and peace of mind in booking a stay that is backed by the largest hotel company in the world.*
