Accelerating its expansion across India and the surrounding region, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced a new strategic alliance with Cygnett Hotels & Resorts. The partnership will not only introduce its La Quinta by Wyndham and Registry Collection Hotels brands to the country but is expected to add more than 60 hotels across India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal over the next 10 years.
The alliance with Cygnett, an Indian hospitality group with a growing portfolio, is the latest in a series of purposeful development deals by Wyndham to meet India’s surging travel demand. With domestic travel spending hitting US$186 billion last year alone and leisure travel spending expected to grow 12 percent annually, Wyndham continues to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market, fueled by rising infrastructure investment, middle-class aspirations, and accelerated outbound and domestic tourism.
As part of the deal, Wyndham and Cygnett have signed an exclusive 10-year development agreement to introduce and grow the La Quinta by Wyndham brand across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, with plans to open over 50 hotels. This will include a mix of new builds and conversions with the first locations expected to open by the end of 2026. La Quinta hotels are known for their friendly vibe, modern amenities and value. With more than 900 locations globally, the brand is a go-to option for both business and leisure guests in the upper midscale segment.
In parallel, Wyndham and Cygnett will also introduce Registry Collection Hotels in India through a non-exclusive 10-year development agreement for 10 hotels. Hotels will be co-branded under Anamore, Cygnett’s newly launched, luxury 5-star brand, with the first hotel expected to open as early as 2026. With more than 30 locations globally, Registry Collection Hotels are unique boutique and luxury hotels.
Wyndham’s growth in Eurasia is powered by Wyndham Advantage; a combination of marketing, distribution and other resources designed to put owners on the path to success. Inclusive of nearly $350 million in innovative technology investments since 2018, owners have access to technology from industry-leading providers, including next-gen property management systems, as well as a growing member base of over 115 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members globally.
Wyndham currently has a portfolio of more than 70 hotels across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, including globally recognized names like Ramada by Wyndham, Howard Johnson by Wyndham and Wyndham Garden, among others.
