    Hotel owners and property developers remain confident in industry's resiliency despite a news cycle dominated by tariffs, inflation, interest rates and more

    PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts today unveiled its first-annual Hotel Owner Trends Report. A multi-month effort spanning two industry-wide surveys of hundreds of hotel owners and property developers, the findings paint a picture of an industry that, despite the tumultuous news cycle, remains confident in its resilience and long-term growth prospects.

    Wyndham's first-annual Hotel Owner Trends Report reveals owners and developers are optimistic about the long-term prospects of the industry with virtually all respondents (99%) expressing confidence in the industry's overall resilience.

     


    "There's a lot of noise in the marketplace right now and yet, more than 90% of hotel owners and developers are optimistic about what the next five years hold for them. That's because they know that in hospitality, they're playing the long game. Case in point: While most admit to having concerns over current economic volatility, four-out-of-five say they still plan to expand their portfolios over the next five years."

    - Amit Sripathi, Chief Development Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


    Brands Matter

    Highlighting the critical role brands play in hotel ownership, virtually all surveyed (98%) said they're currently open to exploring new branded offerings—underscoring the value brands bring to the table versus operating as an independent. Further, most (55%) are interested in traditional or hard brands while just under half (45%) are seeking soft brand opportunities.

    Here's what owners and developers are also looking for:

    • Support and Leadership Access

      Ranking the top two factors owners and developers look for when choosing which brand to join, support from industry experts tops the list (including marketing, revenue management and operational expertise), followed by access to executive leadership.

       
    • A Strong Loyalty Program

      More than 80% of hotel owners and developers say a strong loyalty program is very important or critical to a hotel's success, with nearly two-thirds (62%) of those open to joining a brand or switching brands citing it as a top five factor they consider.

       
    • A Robust Array of Brand Offerings

      When looking at expansion, interest spans virtually all segments. Just over a third (39%) have lifestyle and boutique hotels in their sights, while a similar number (36%) are looking at midscale and upper-midscale. The same is true for economy (35%).

    Capitalizing on Extended-Stay

    Extended-stay hotels continue to be front and center for hotel owners and developers. Buoyed by historically high demand and developer ROI, nearly all surveyed (96%) see opportunity in extended-stay, highlighting it as an investment with great potential.

    Here's what else owners and developers are saying about extended-stay:

    • The Model Matters

      Operating in extended-stay means operating in a way that's different from traditional brands. Nearly three-out-of-five surveyed (59%) recognize this, a highlight that embracing the unique operating model of extended-stay is critical to success.

       
    • All Eyes on Infrastructure

      With historic multi-year infrastructure spend on the rise, 100% of respondents said they anticipate an increase in new business over the next five years (including those outside of the extended-stay segment) as a result of the many projects these investments are funding.

       
    • Cross-Sell and Upsell are Key

      Both in extended-stay and beyond, when it comes to driving increased revenue, more than 80% of hotel owners and property developers say cross-sell and upsell opportunities are key, describing them as either critical or very important to their hotel's success.

    Fueling the Future with Technology

    When choosing a brand, the majority of owners and developers list access to best-in-class technology as one of their top five factors. What's more, one-in-five (20%) say investing in technology is how they plan to differentiate their hotel from the competition.

    Here's what owners and developers are also saying about technology:

    • Investing in Tomorrow's Traveler

      Recognizing the role technology plays in delivering a great guest experience, nearly two-thirds (61%) of hotel owners have already invested in, or are considering investing in, things like streaming, digital room keys and self-service kiosks. Meanwhile, nearly half (46%) have done or are considering the same when it comes to EV charging stations.

       
    • Harnessing the Power of AI

      Over 90% of hotel owners are already leveraging AI in some capacity. Notably, more than 70% are deploying the technology to support operations while more than 60% are using it for guest-facing services.

       
    • An Interconnected Guest Experience

      When it comes to guest messaging platforms, one-in-three hotels (33%) are already utilizing this technology, with nearly another third (30%) looking to invest in or increase their investment in it. The same is true for mobile tipping: a third of those surveyed (33%) say they already offer mobile tipping, with nearly another third (30%) expecting to invest or increase their investment in it.

     


    "The message from today's hotel owners and property developers is clear: it's not just about growing their portfolios, it's about growing their portfolios with the right brands and the right partners. They also want the best. The best technology, the best rewards program, the best support. The good news? That's exactly what Wyndham offers, and its why our franchisee retention rate has grown to nearly 96%, including our economy brands, which are among the highest in the industry."

    - Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts


    Proven Resilience

    Over the last twenty-five years, select-service hotels, like those owned and operated by most Wyndham franchisees, have repeatedly proven their resilience in weathering challenging environments. From 2000 to 2023, U.S. select-service RevPAR grew at a 2.6% CAGR, and during some of the most historic economic events on record, Wyndham's select-service hotels have consistently outperformed STR's upscale and above segments. In 2001, following the attacks of 9/11, they outperformed by 300 basis points. In 2008, in the wake of the global financial crisis, they outperformed by 500 basis points. And most recently, in 2020, amid the backdrop of the global pandemic, they outperformed by 2,500 basis points. These results are not coincidental and reflect the tested, long-term value proposition of Wyndham's select-service brands.

    The Wyndham Advantage 

    As the world's largest hotel franchisor, Wyndham takes an OwnerFirst™ approach to franchising, prioritizing the needs of hotel owners and their success. From unprecedented access to Company leaders, to launching new brands designed to take advantage of the extended-stay boom (ECHO Suites® Extended Stay by Wyndham and WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham) to investing nearly $350 million in best-in-class technology since going public in 2018, Wyndham—through the Wyndham Advantage—is making moves that not only help owners succeed today, but also help set them up to innovate and grow their business in the future.

    A white paper detailing the findings of Wyndham's first-annual Hotel Owner Trends Report is slated to be available for download later this month. To sign-up for early access, click here. For more information on franchising opportunities, visit www.wyndhamdevelopment.com.

    Survey Methodology

    Managed by Wakefield Research, the Wyndham Survey was conducted among 325 Hotel Owners & Hotel Property Developers, with minimum seniority of VP+, in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, between February 4th and February 12th, 2025, using an email invitation and an online survey. A follow-up survey was conducted between May 16th and May 27th, 2025, with another 325 Hotel Owners & Hotel Property Developers, using similar methods. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in both studies, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 6.2 percentage points for the total data, 6.9 percentage for the U.S., 9.8 percentage points for Canada, and 19.6 percentage points for the Caribbean, from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
