Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, a prominent US-based hospitality chain, is setting its sights on the Indian market with ambitious plans to introduce its renowned budget accommodations. Recognizing the burgeoning potential of India's hospitality sector, the company aims to launch economy brands such as Days Inn and Super 8, further expanding its global footprint.
In a strategic move to leverage the escalating spiritual tourism and infrastructure development within India, Wyndham has outlined plans to open approximately 150 hotels by 2025. This includes a mix of budget hotels aimed at strengthening the company's presence in the region. Dimitris Manikis, President of Wyndham Hotels Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa (EMEA), expressed the company's bullish stance on the Indian market in a recent interview with Moneycontrol. "We cannot miss the opportunity that India represents for the world today," Manikis stated, highlighting the importance of India in Wyndham's expansion strategy.
With nearly 60 hotels already operating in India, accounting for 5,500 rooms, and an additional 25 hotels under development plus 40 more in the pipeline, Wyndham's expansion plans are well underway. The introduction of economy brands Days Inn and Super 8, well-established in the US, marks a significant step towards catering to the diverse needs of Indian travelers and tapping into the budget accommodation segment.
Manikis also emphasized the importance of religious tourism in India, noting the company's intent to open hotels in key pilgrim places. "It is crucial for us to open hotels in some of the country's pilgrim places," Manikis said, revealing that Wyndham has a couple of hotels in the pipeline, with locations to be announced soon.
Over the next three to four years, Wyndham expects a balanced mix of budget/economy properties and midscale to upper midscale hotels in India. The company's focus will not be limited to major cities but will also extend to smaller cities, targeting India’s tier II and III cities.
In October 2023, Wyndham further solidified its commitment to the Indian market by entering into a franchise deal with Saryu Ratna Hotel & Resort to open a new Ramada Encore by Wyndham branded property in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. This move is indicative of Wyndham's broader strategy to offer diverse lodging options across India, catering to the needs of both domestic and international travelers.
As Wyndham Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its portfolio in India, the company is poised to play a significant role in the country's evolving hospitality landscape, offering affordable and quality accommodations to a wide range of travelers.

As Goa transforms into a lush green paradise during the monsoon, Ronil Goa – A JdV by Hyatt Hotel is inviting travellers to discover a different side of the destination through its "Beyond the Room" philosophy. Positioned in the heart of North Goa, the lifestyle boutique resort is encouraging guests to embrace slower days, meaningful experiences, and the simple pleasures that define the state's green season.
While Goa is often associated with bustling beaches and peak-season energy, the monsoon months offer a more relaxed and authentic experience. With fewer crowds, cooler weather, and landscapes painted in vibrant shades of green, the season creates the perfect backdrop for travellers seeking a refreshing escape.
Located along the popular Calangute-Baga Road, Ronil Goa has designed its monsoon offering around comfort, connection, and unhurried experiences. Rather than focusing solely on accommodation, the hotel extends its hospitality through thoughtfully curated spaces, wellness experiences, dining concepts, and social interactions that encourage guests to immerse themselves in the destination.
The experience begins with a warm welcome at Patrão's, where guests are greeted with a signature arrival shot. Throughout the stay, visitors can choose between the lively atmosphere of the Hub Pool, complete with a swim-up bar, or the more relaxed setting of the Tranquil Pool, inspired by Art Deco aesthetics and designed for peaceful moments of relaxation.
For guests looking to unwind further, The Spa at Ronil Goa offers a selection of therapies aimed at helping travellers recharge while enjoying the soothing ambience created by the monsoon season.
Dining remains a key part of the resort experience. Mornings begin with leisurely breakfasts at Ronil Bistro, while the all-day menu features a blend of comfort food and contemporary favourites. Guests can enjoy wood-fired pizzas, grilled specialities, and a variety of dishes designed to complement relaxed holiday moods. Whether gathering for a casual meal, enjoying a quiet drink, or spending an evening with friends, the hotel's dining venues are designed to encourage social connections and memorable moments.
As the day transitions into evening, the atmosphere takes on a more vibrant character. Live music, cocktails, karaoke sessions at The Loft, and poolside gatherings create opportunities for guests to relax and connect in an informal setting. The hotel's rooms and suites, many featuring private balconies and interconnecting options, cater equally well to couples, families, and groups of friends.
Adding further value to the monsoon experience, the resort is offering an exclusive World of Hyatt Member Bed and Breakfast package available through Hyatt's official channels. The offer includes daily breakfast, 20 percent savings on food and soft beverages across hotel venues, 10 percent savings on alcohol, and 15 percent savings on spa rituals lasting 60 minutes or longer.
The package has been designed to encourage guests to make the most of their stay, whether through culinary experiences, wellness treatments, or simply spending additional time enjoying the relaxed pace of the season.
Originally established in 1987 as Ronil Beach Resort, the property entered a new chapter in December 2023 when it was reintroduced as Ronil Goa under Hyatt's lifestyle-focused JdV by Hyatt brand. Today, the resort features 135 rooms with private balconies, Indo-Portuguese-inspired design elements, wellness facilities, multiple dining venues, and vibrant social spaces that reflect the warmth and character of Goan hospitality.
As monsoon travel continues to gain popularity among travellers seeking quieter and more immersive experiences, Ronil Goa aims to position itself as a destination where guests can enjoy Goa at a slower pace, focusing on meaningful moments rather than packed itineraries.

The Anam Cam Ranh has introduced a unique immersive wellness experience titled “From Husk to Health,” allowing guests to witness and participate in coconut harvesting directly within the resort grounds.
Unlike conventional luxury hospitality experiences where beverages are prepared behind a bar, the resort brings the origin of the drink into view, starting from the coconut trees themselves.
Held every Thursday from 10–11 am at the entrance of the resort’s wellness and recreation precinct, the experience sees gardeners climb coconut palms to harvest mature coconuts in front of guests. Visitors are then guided through the process of trimming, opening, and understanding different stages of coconut growth.
Guests are introduced to how coconuts mature, how ripeness affects flavour and texture, and why younger coconuts tend to produce sweeter water while mature ones offer richer flesh. The freshly opened coconuts are served immediately, offering naturally hydrating water rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium, along with nutrient-dense coconut meat.
Speaking about the initiative, Laurent Myter, Group General Manager of The Anam Group, said, “A freshly harvested coconut, in my opinion, resonates more than a glass of champagne. We have received great feedback from our guests about this simple yet authentic experience. Learning the story behind the humble coconut further connects you to Vietnam’s remarkable landscape.”
The experience is part of the resort’s broader wellness and recreation ecosystem, which includes an organic farm, mini-golf course, sports facilities, and curated farm-to-table dining experiences.
Ingredients from the resort’s farm are actively integrated into its culinary offerings across restaurants, with herbs, vegetables, and fruits used in both Vietnamese and international dishes, as well as in signature cocktails.
The initiative reflects The Anam Cam Ranh’s growing focus on immersive, nature-connected luxury experiences that blend wellness, education, and sustainability within hospitality
