Six Wyndham Grand Properties Set to Open in 2019
Locations include California, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, Vietnam and Georgia
Wyndham Grand, the upscale brand of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, will debut in six locations this year. Openings are planned for California, Mexico City, Cam Ran in southern Vietnam, Kayseri in central Turkey, the Georgian capital Tblisi, and the Greek island of Crete. The new hotels will join the brand’s 39 existing locations, which include Istanbul, Chicago and Shanghai.
“Travelers are seeking out new destinations and crossing borders more than ever before. In the last two decades alone the number of international travelers around the world has more than doubled to nearly 1.3 billion,” said Bob Loewen, chief operating officer for Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. “We’re strategically expanding Wyndham Grand’s presence around the world in the destinations travelers so eagerly want to explore, whether it’s the shores of Greek Isles, a unique pocket of culture in Southern California, the centuries-old historic capital of Georgia or wherever their bucket list takes them.”
The new properties
Westminster California
Part of a multi-use development, Wyndham Grand in Westminster, Orange County will be the brand’s first hotel in California.
Its 144 guestrooms will make it the largest and only full-service hotel in Westminster. It will also feature meeting and event spaces and a full-service restaurant.
The location near Little Saigon tourist district on Bolsa Avenue will provide access to various Vietnamese dining options and cultural sites.
Wyndham Grand Cam Ranh, Vietnam
Wyndham Grand Cam Ranh sits on a 27-hole golf course overlooking the ocean. It will feature multiple restaurants and bars, swimming pools, spa and wellness facilities and a convention center. The coastal city of Cam Ranh is a growing tourist destination thanks to the recent expansion of its international airport.

Wyndham is collaborating on the property with Zeus International, a hotel management and development services company in Greece.
