CARRYING the title of biggest hospitality company in the world has seen Wyndham Hotel Group expand at a rapid pace, especially in these last couple of years.
Its foray into Asia-Pacific has been warmly welcomed with the company’s upper upscale Wyndham Grand as well as established and mid-scale brands such as Ramada, Days Inn and TRYP by Wyndham bridging any market gaps that might have previously existed.
The brand’s stylish yet affordable brand, Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham, is also a proven leader in modern, fuss-free stays that don’t skimp on quality service.
This expansion is especially apparent in the South Pacific region. The group’s swift and steady rise cannot be overlooked with keen interest in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Here are a few properties that have helped Wyndham Hotel Group stamp its arrival in the South Pacific.
Ramada Resort Shoal Bay – Australia
Fringed along the New South Wales North Coast is this stunning waterfront property and one of “Australia’s best-kept secrets”. The white sand beach and turquoise waters that stretch out beyond the hotel’s vicinity are just precursors to the breathtaking sand shoals that clump in the waters beyond.
The hotel is also close to Tomaree National Park, a beautiful public space that’s emblematic of Australia’s many natural landscapes and terrains. Visitors can climb to the summit of the Tomaree Head and absorb sprawling views of Port Stephens, and if they’re lucky, Cabbage Tree and Boondelbah islands as well.
TRYP Fortitude Valley Hotel Brisbane – Australia
TRYP by Wyndham is a savvy, streetwise brand for the traveller who wants to connect with the pulse of the city. The Brisbane property in Fortitude Valley acts as a canvas for street art by acclaimed artists such as Fintan Magee, Numskull, Rone and Beastman, lending the building a fresh, inviting aesthetic.
Going by its urban art theme, the hotel mixes striking murals with suave finishes, such as 150-year-old renewed timber flooring. The overall property design showcases the contrast between the building’s rustic elements, its clean lines and contemporary fittings. A far cry from the more sterile business hotels in the central business district.
Wyndham Hotel Surfers Paradise – Australia
In the vibrant tourist hub of Surfers Paradise is Wyndham Hotel Surfers Paradise, a contemporary hotel for those who want to be in the thick of action and enjoy an elegant hotel stay without the price tag that commonly comes with it. Only a short stroll from the property is a stretch of beach, shopping, and food and wine precincts.
If you’re not getting the wind in your hair and surfing incredible waves, the hotel’s recreation deck features barbecue facilities, alfresco seating, an outdoor television, a heated pool, an outdoor spa and gym, and a café and restaurant precinct. The spacious apartment accommodation on offer has been designed to feel like a home away from home with kitchen and laundry facilities.
Ramada Resort Phillip Island – Australia
Phillip Island is one of Victoria’s most stunning natural locations, and this island resort showcases that natural beauty. Set across 65 acres of countryside land, it’s surrounded by native gardens and natural bushland located in the heart of Phillip Island. Bonus: It’s nearby the popular Penguin Parade, which hosts nightly penguin-watching sessions.
The resort is decked out like a family-friendly holiday home but great amenities can be expected such as a children’s pool, a fitness centre, a games room, meeting rooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. In keeping with Aussie culture, barbecue facilities are available should the need to slap seafood on the grill arise.
Ramada Resort Port Douglas – Australia
Deep in the tropics of Queensland lies Ramada Resort Port Douglas, a premier resort that showcases the area’s scenic accolades. In fact, Port Douglas is the only place in the world to host two UNESCO World Heritage areas – The Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. It is also a one-hour drive from Cairns, in itself a wonderment of nature.
While the hotel is fitted with many modern amenities, you’ll probably be itching to be out and about, exploring the area’s natural offerings. Traverse the Melaleuca rainforest, the renowned Four Mile Beach, and the Reef Marina Port Douglas. You could also take a day trip to Cape Tribulation, a remote headland and eco-tourism destination.
Ramada Eco Beach Resort Broome – Australia
Tucked 120 kilometres south of Broome, the pearl capital of Australia, is Ramada Eco Beach Resort, a unique place that brings peace and quiet to a whole new level.
This multi award-winning eco resort is set amongst the pristine and untouched Kimberley environment and provides guests an unforgettable and unique experience.
The exceptional accommodation includes 25 superbly appointed Eco Villas interlinked by over 1km of elevated wooden boardwalks, and 30 luxurious safari-style Eco Tents. For larger groups, they offer The Beach Houses, striking oceanfront accommodation with amazing views of the Indian Ocean.
This secluded resort is perfect for intimate family gatherings or anniversary couple trips to experience the best of Western Australia’s unspoiled wilderness and to reconnect with nature. Pack in a good book, put those phones away, and feel those hours melt away in this unique eco-resort.
Ramada Resort Reia Taipa Beach – New Zealand
New Zealand is not short of natural wonders and Doubtless Bay in the Northland region is just one area the nation has identified as one of the world’s most beautiful. This beachside escape located just steps from the lush waves is an ideal lookout point from where to soak in the beauty.
Within the resort itself, kick back and enjoy facilities such as an on-site café, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a fish filleting station, barbecue services, as well as activities like golfing, snorkelling, and fishing. If you’ve travelled by private boat, ample parking space is available at the dock.
Ramada Hotel & Suites Queenstown Remarkables Park – New Zealand
Nestled in the heart of Queenstown and nearby New Zealand’s premier ski fields is this modern resort. Whether you’re winter skiing, snowboarding, or mountain biking in the summer, this hotel is the ideal centrepoint to indulge in adrenaline-pumping activities that Queenstown has come to be so known for.
Plus, a golf course is just down the street while a range of restaurants, bars, and nightclubs are within a close radius. One of the perks of its setting is that it’s merely minutes away from Queenstown International Airport, which you can access easily via complimentary shuttle organised by the hotel.
