Wyndham Brings 40-Plus Luxury Hotels Into Its Loyalty Fold: What It Changes, and What It Doesn't

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced a partnership with HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts that will bring more than 40 luxury independent hotels into its Registry Collection Hotels brand by early next year, with more to follow. For travelers who collect Wyndham Rewards points, the practical effect is straightforward: a loyalty program built largely around midscale hotels will soon let members redeem at small luxury boutiques, which per LODGING Magazine average between 20 and 50 rooms each. According to LODGING Magazine, the deal covers Elegant Hotels of the World, HotelREZ's curated portfolio of independent luxury properties. The first group joining this week includes Rosselli AX Privilege in Valletta, The TownHouse Mykonos, Galgorm Resort near Belfast, TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao in Thailand, Cinco Quintas Hotel Boutique in Cartagena, and Roe Valley Resort near Derry/Londonderry.
