Wyndham Hotel group in tie-up with Chatwal

Wyndham Hotel group, part of US-based Wyndham Worldwide family of companies, announced a tie-up with Chatwal Hotels and Resorts, Llc, US, to franchise and manage the latter's Dream and Night boutique hotel brands globally.

The brand, currently run by Wyndham Hotel, has its hotels in New York, Bangkok in Thailand and Kochi in India. It had earlier announced plans to expand its presence in South Asia.

The addition of the Dream and Night brands will complement Wyndham Hotel Group's diverse brand portfolio which focuses on meeting guest needs with a hotel product for every kind of traveller, said Eric Danziger, president and chief executive officer, Wyndham Hotel Group.

Sant Singh Chatwal, chairman and chief executive officer of Chatwal Hotels and Resorts and its management arm, Hampshire Hotels and Resorts, said, “The relationship with Wyndham will unlock the true potential of our Dream and Night brands, which have proven their success in key markets like New York and Bangkok during the last six years and are prime to further expand globally.”

Chatwal Hotels would continue to own the Dream and Night brand trademarks and intellectual property, according to a company announcement.

The Dream brand is positioned as a full-service, lifestyle brand for gateway cities and resort destinations, even as the Night brand is planned to develop as guest deejays in lounges, discounts for green motorists with hybrid and electric cars and gourmet quick-serve food and beverage options in primary and secondary markets.
