Every time a new brand takes root in the United States our ears perk up. New York City's TRYP hotel is one of those instances. Though it's a Wyndham brand, TRYP's influences are distinctly Spanish and unique with Mediterranean tones and styles detailing many of the hotel's appointments. The product is a clean, warm atmosphere that seems to work well for social travelers and groups of people ...

Jan 13th, 2011 at 10:00AM: Are hotel companies illegally taking loyalty fees from hotels, where guests who don't know they've been enrolled in a hotel's loyalty program are staying? That's the question under discussion after franchisees filed class-action lawsuits against two major hotel brands.
The suits, filed in U.S. District Court in Orlando last month, allege that Wyndham Worldwide Inc. and Choice Hotels ...

Aug 8th, 2010 at 2:00PM: Big-city hoteliers will be happier sooner than their small-time counterparts. It looks like demand for rooms in smaller cities is going to take longer to come back, with rate increases unlikely, it seems until next summer. The New York market has already shown a solid recovery, thanks to the corporate cards that keep road warriors away from home. For the little guys, though, the future isn't as ...

Aug 6th, 2010 at 2:00PM: Three hotels have succumbed to weakness in the Atlanta market. Among the recent casualties is the 502-room Marriott Renaissance. Rates have been pushed lower by an abundance of capacity that has caused even top brands to get stuck charging less than $100 a night. When there's far more supply than demand, of course, this is what happens.
Joining the Renaissance in the graveyard will be the ...

Jun 4th, 2010 at 3:30PM: This drink is no joke.
The Fire Pit Bloody Mary is part of the Wyndham's Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa's new "Caliente Cocktails" and the Puerto Rico hotel is already staking claim that it's the spiciest drink in the world.
The Fire Pit Bloody Mary's key ingredient is the fiery Indian bhut jolokia chile pepper. It boosts a ranking of more than one million Scoville units (the measurement of ...

Jun 2nd, 2010 at 12:00PM: We've talked a lot about hotel promotions and packages, but how do you choose what's best for you and your budget? That's the topic of this week's question, from Cindy in San Antonio, who wants to book a nice hotel without paying for unwanted amenities.
"I want to go on vacation this year, but I'd also like to get the most bang for my buck. I don't want to seem greedy, but I want more than just ...

Looking to vacation on a budget? Wyndham Worldwide has some hot deals on 7-day vacation rentals for just $199. The availability is obviously limited, and there is a bit of fine print involved, but I was able to find several properties for the advertised price.
To clarify - the $199 price is for 7 days - and since many hotels retail for the same price for just one night, you'll understand ...

Feb 8th, 2010 at 8:00PM: A Ramada hotel might not be your first thought for a romantic hotel, but what if I told you that you can reserve a room with a sweet 50% discount? I'm guessing that suddenly makes it more interesting!
The Ramada Hotels reservation site has a promotion offering 50% off their lowest rates - and this isn't the kind of promo that makes you hunt for hours to find the "hot deal".
I spent a couple ...

Feb 27th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Nearly 200,000 travel-related jobs were lost in 2008. Another 247,000 are forecasted for 2009. And, the financial crisis is still developing. While we lament the loss of six- and seven-figure investment banking jobs, let's not forget what those big money gigs mean for the travel industry. Consider your average Wall Street titan. He's still pulling down more than $1 million a year (somehow). So, ...
