Wyndham Plots International La Quinta Growth

PARSIPPANY, NJ—Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to further expand its La Quinta by Wyndham brand with the addition of two new hotels in Turkey: the 86-room La Quinta by Wyndham Giresun and the 175-room La Quinta by Wyndham Bodrum.

The new hotels join the previously announced 404-room La Quinta by Wyndham Istanbul Gunesli—the first La Quinta hotel to open outside of the Americas—and are the latest in a string of international signings and openings since Wyndham acquired the brand in May of 2018.

Earlier this year, Wyndham announced plans to open two new La Quinta hotels in New Zealand, marking the arrival of the brand in Asia-Pacific; and just last year, the company unveiled plans to open eight new La Quinta hotels in the Dominican Republic, four of which are currently under development. They build on the brand’s existing portfolio of 14 hotels throughout Latin America. Globally, the brand has opened 55 new hotels since its acquisition.

“When La Quinta joined the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts family, we saw strong potential to expand the brand internationally, and we are delighted to see its continued growth in Europe and around the world,” said Dimitris Manikis, president, EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “These exciting properties on Turkey’s charming coastline support our growth ambition and perfectly complement our other offerings in the market.”

The new additions in Turkey—where Wyndham is the largest international hotel company with more than 80 hotels—include two contemporary properties with central locations in the Black Sea coastal town of Giresun, as well as in Bodrum, one of Turkey’s most popular and trendy seaside gateways. Details on the new hotels include the following:

  • La Quinta by Wyndham Giresun
    The 86-room La Quinta by Wyndham Giresun is a waterfront hotel with views of the Black Sea and a wide range of amenities. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a fitness center with Turkish bath and sauna, four on-site restaurants and a library.
  • La Quinta by Wyndham Bodrum
    With views on the Bodrum Peninsula, the 175-room La Quinta by Wyndham Bodrum is a seaside hotel with two on-site restaurants and a rooftop bar. The property, slated to open later this month, will include an outdoor pool, sauna and a fitness center to help guests keep active while traveling. Other facilities will include a business center as well as an event space.
