With integrations already underway, more than 40 independent luxury hotels and their owners will have joined Wyndham’s Registry Collection Hotels by early next year, with more to follow.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts announced a new strategic partnership with HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts—one of the world’s largest hotel representation platforms and the operator of Elegant Hotels of the World. Under the partnership, more than 40 luxury Elegant member hotels will have joined Wyndham’s growing Registry Collection Hotels brand by early next year, with additional properties to follow.
A Marquee Collection of Independent, Design-Driven Hotels
Wyndham’s latest expansion of its Registry Collection Hotels brand is made possible by HotelREZ’s Elegant Hotels of the World, a curated portfolio of independent, design-led luxury properties in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Over the coming months, more than 40 Elegant member hotels—many small luxury boutiques averaging between 20 and 50 rooms each—will integrate into Registry Collection’s sales, marketing and distribution channels, with more expected to follow thereafter, subject to brand fit, owner participation and onboarding requirements.
Scaling Solutions for Independents
Building on the partnership, Wyndham and HotelREZ are also introducing a flexible model giving properties associated with HotelREZ’s Best Loved Hotels, a curated collection of upscale independents, selective access to Wyndham’s best-in-class technology stack—including AI-powered solutions like Wyndham Connect and Wyndham AI Concierge (formerly Wyndham Connect PLUS)—and its third-party distribution platform.
The structure, launching later this year, creates additional value for both Wyndham and HotelREZ, extending the reach of Wyndham’s commercial capabilities while broadening the opportunities available to HotelREZ’s network of independent hotels. By combining their respective strengths, the partnership helps independent hotels access commercial advantages that help support stronger performance while preserving their independence.
The Wyndham Advantage
Wyndham’s partnership with HotelREZ is built around the broader benefits of the Wyndham Advantage—a combination of world-class marketing, distribution and technology solutions designed to help hotel owners drive revenue, improve efficiency and deliver exceptional guest experiences.
The first major hotel company to operate on a fully cloud-based technology platform, Wyndham continues to differentiate itself through greater speed, flexibility and scalability across its growing global network. Building on that foundation, the Company is expanding how guests discover and book travel through integrations with leading AI platforms, including dedicated experiences within Claude, ChatGPT and most recently, Google Gemini.
Together, these capabilities are helping drive stronger demand generation and more personalised guest experiences—from discovery through booking—while enabling owners to capture greater share and operate more efficiently. As Wyndham continues to scale its global platform, the Wyndham Advantage delivers measurable value for owners while elevating the experience for travellers worldwide.
