Effective today, Wyndham Hotel Group, the world's largest hotel
company with over 7,340 hotels and part of Wyndham Worldwide
Corporation (NYSE: WYN), has rebranded eight hotels in major
markets throughout the United States with the upscale Wyndham®
Hotels and Resorts name and has taken on management of the
properties.
The reflagging and management services, provided by Wyndham
Hotel Group's management company, are a result of an agreement with

eight hotels.
The properties, which will undergo extensive renovations, are
located in Boston, Mass.; Charleston, S.C.; Houston, Texas; New
Orleans, La.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; San Diego,
Calif.; and Santa Monica, Calif. They will significantly add to the
Wyndham® brand's existing footprint of 76 hotels and over 18,500
rooms in the United States.
"We are very proud to welcome these prime, center-city locations
to our growing Wyndham Hotel Group family," said Eric Danziger,
Wyndham Hotel Group president and CEO. "An agreement like this with
an esteemed partner like FelCor allows us to significantly expand
both our managed hotel portfolio and the flagship Wyndham brand in
top, strategic markets without considerable capital expenditures.
We're confident that the renovation, repositioning and management
of these hotels will lead to increased revenues and successful,
best-in-class lodging and service for guests -- a win-win for
all."
The eight rebranded hotels, representing 2,523 rooms, will
become:
- Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill
- The Mills House Wyndham Grand Hotel
