Collaboration will see the expansion of the Trademark Collection by Wyndham and Registry Collection Hotels brands in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Romania and more Balkan countries.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company, with approximately 9,100 hotels spanning more than 95 countries, and Zeus International Hotels & Resorts – a leading hospitality player in Greece and Europe – today announced the expansion of their strategic collaboration with a new non-exclusive agreement to develop multi hospitality asset developments in the next coming years under the Trademark Collection by Wyndham and Registry Collection Hotels brands. The agreement will focus on various destinations in Southeast Europe such as Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina, Kosovo and North Macedonia.
Wyndham and Zeus International entered a strategic collaboration in 2017, which saw the opening of several flagship hotels in Greece and Italy such as Wyndham Grand Athens, Wyndham Athens Residence, Dolce by Wyndham and Ramada by Wyndham Attica Riviera, Wyndham Grand Crete Mirabello Bay and more recently Dolce by Wyndham Milan Malpensa.
The expanded collaboration will focus on growing the Trademark Collection by Wyndham upper-midscale portfolio, building on the brand’s growth momentum in Europe, while also positioning the Registry Collection Hotels’ brand in the region, with handpicked properties that will deliver a luxury experience in more spectacular destinations.
Dimitris Manikis, President Europe, Middle East, Eurasia and Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to continue to expand our fruitful collaboration with Zeus International, a like-minded partner whose growth plans and passion for hospitality perfectly match our ambitious development objectives in the region.
