All three hotels are part of larger efforts by the company to significantly expand its footprint across the Indian subcontinent and are complemented by four additional properties in the region that either recently opened or are slated to open over the next nine months.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the hotel franchising company with approximately 9,300 hotels across 90 countries, today unveils plans to open its first hotels in Nepal and Bhutan with plans to open a new-build hotel in the capital of Bangladesh by the end of the year, while also announcing the opening of the Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Dwarka — the first Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham hotel in India.

All three hotels are part of larger efforts by the company to significantly expand its footprint across the Indian subcontinent and are complemented by four additional properties in the region that either recently opened or are slated to open over the next nine months. Wyndham is currently one of the largest international hotel companies in India and plans to have 47 hotels open across the country by the end of this year.

Commenting on the development, Nikhil Sharma, Area Director, Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts said, “Over the last few years Bhutan and Nepal have seen a steady increase in tourism, making them ideal destinations for us to expand into. What’s more, they perfectly complement the opportunity and uptick of the midscale market in India, which we’ve strengthened today with the introduction of our Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham brand. As the Indian subcontinent continues making waves in the hospitality industry, Wyndham remains laser focused on tapping into its key markets and fulfilling our mission of making hotel travel possible for all.”
