- Many hotels hold MICHELIN recognitions, enhancing the collection’s premium appeal.
Technology and commercial arrangement
Alongside the portfolio expansion, Wyndham announced a separate commercial model for selected hotels within HotelREZ’s Best Loved Hotels collection. Scheduled to launch later in 2026, the programme will give eligible operators access to Wyndham Connect, the Wyndham AI Concierge and third‑party distribution services, while allowing them to keep ownership and operational control.
The technology offering is designed to strengthen independent hotels’ digital booking capabilities and broaden their international reach.
