Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor with approximately 9,200 hotels and 20 iconic brands, continued strengthening its bench of La Quinta by Wyndham destinations in key U.S. markets with eight new openings in the fourth quarter of 2018. The latest additions culminated a strong year of growth for the brand which saw nearly 30 new hotels – anchored by 16 new construction locations – join the La Quinta family.

The newly built hotels in Waco and Richmond, Texas, and Greensboro, N.C.; and transformational conversions in Jamestown, N.Y.; Raleigh, N.C.; Aurora, Colo.; Seattle, Wash.; and Madera, Calif., widened La Quinta’s presence in the U.S., bringing its footprint to just under 900 hotels nationwide.

The newly opened La Quinta hotels all embody elements of the brand’s guest-inspired, owner-friendly Del Sol prototype design, which combines clean geometric lines, bold colours, and varying textures with iconic brand elements and guest-centric offerings to enhance the experience while helping maximizing revenue-generating space for hotel developers. Thirty-five Del Sol-designed hotels are currently under construction across the U.S., with 43 already open and operating.
