Wyndham Hotels & Resorts delivered a strong set of results for the second quarter of 2026, with the numbers prompting an upward revision of expectations for the full year.
Revpar at US hotels recovered, being up 2% year on year. In Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, revpar was up 5%, while softer numbers of US travellers to Mexico meant Latin America revpar was down 7% compared with the same period in 2025. China was similarly down, as prices were trimmed to meet softer demand.
Solid International Growth
The group says its portfolio grew by around 4% year on year, with most of that growth being outside the US. The home market added just 2,200 rooms in the last 12 months. More than two thirds of the growth is in the midscale segment and above.
Extended stay properties, under brands such as the new Echo Suites, continue to be a significant part of the business, representing 17% of growth. And more than three quarters of Wyndham’s global pipeline is new build properties, an indication that brand conversions are becoming less significant for the group.
Across Europe, there are a slew of openings planned, with two coming to the market later in 2026. These include a rebranded German property, due to reopen as Ramada Encore by Wyndham Frankfurt Rüsselsheim; and the Vienna House by Wyndham Oldenburg.
China also figures large in Wyndham’s pipeline, with the 264 room Wyndham Grand Tianshui due to open towards the end of the year. The group will also open its first hot spring wellness hotel in the country, Wyndham Hot Spring Resort Yunzhonghe. Wyndham Grand Residence Xiamen Xiang’an is another 2026 launch, along with the 200 room Wyndham Huangshi Zhongdu.
In Europe, the group’s performance has been impacted by the collapse of the Revo Hospitality group. This third party operator filed for insolvency in early 2026, and while many of its hotels continue to trade under court supervision, there is some doubt over what may happen to those properties in future.
Revo had partnered with Revo, with many of its Vienna House and Vienna House Easy hotels in mainland Europe operated by the German company. It also operated Ramada hotels and its own Centro branded properties were part of Wyndham’s Trademark Collection.
Solving Problems in Europe
In May 2026, Wyndham took the unusual step for a hotel franchise group, of taking over ownership of two former Revo hotels in Switzerland. The H+ Hotel & SPA Engelberg and the H4 Hotel Arcadia Locarno will now both continue to operate within the Wyndham brand family.
Wyndham reported: “The Revo insolvency process is nearing conclusion and we expect to retain a subset of the Revo-related rooms, with the majority of the portfolio expected to terminate in the third and fourth quarter. We plan to enter into franchise agreements with the retained hotels’ operators.”
