Wyndham Hotel Group, the world's largest hotel company with
approximately 7,490 hotels and part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), today announced
the groundbreaking of its first Super 8® hotel in Germany, the 160-room Super 8 Munich.
Developed by GS Star GmbH, the hotel is the first of 10 Super 8 hotels to be
developed in the country as part of a previously signed multi-year agreement between
Tristar Hotel GmbH and Wyndham Hotel Group.
"As the largest U.S. based
economy hotel brand in the world with nearly 2,400 hotels across the U.S., Canada,
China and Brazil, Super 8 has proven popularity among both hotel guests and
developers alike," said Rui Barros, Wyndham Hotel Group's senior vice president and
managing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "We are delighted to pass this
significant milestone in launching the Super 8 brand in Germany and look forward to
growing the brand's presence right across Europe, the Middle East and Africa where we
continue to see buoyant demand for more affordable hotel accommodation."
Expected to open in autumn 2015, Super 8 Munich will be a six-storey, all-new
construction hotel and the first in Europe to feature the brand's newest design concept.
This innovative design includes a multi-functional lobby and guest rooms which meet
the needs of modern travellers while enabling more economical construction and
operation.
Upon opening, Super 8 will be the fifth of 15 Wyndham Hotel
Group brands to have a presence in Germany. Earlier this year, the company announced
that its portfolio in the country had surpassed 100 hotels under four brands. Through
the upscale offerings of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand, the established
midscale TRYP by Wyndham and Ramada hotels and the recently introduced economy
brand Days Inn, Wyndham Hotel Group is able to offer a hotel solution in Germany to
suit virtually every travel purpose and budget.
