Wyndham Hotels has seen its global development pipeline reach a record of more than 2,200 hotels in the first quarter ended 31 March 2026.
Over the period, the hotel group saw system-wide rooms grow by 4% compared with the previous year. In the US, development contracts awarded during the quarter increased by 8%, contributing to a total pipeline of more than 259,000 rooms.
Net income remained flat at $61m (£48.4m), while adjusted net income rose by 9% to $73m (£57.9m). Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to reach $156m (£123.8m), and ancillary revenues grew by 21% year-on-year.
Domestic revenue per available room (RevPAR) remained flat however, but was still 250 basis points ahead of its earlier expectations.
The group also noted that sequential RevPAR performance in the US improved throughout the quarter. Occupancy levels in key states such as Florida, Texas, and California supported this recovery.
Chief executive Geoff Ballotti said: “We delivered a strong start to the year, highlighted by record-level first-quarter openings and a continued expansion of our development pipeline. As U.S. RevPAR in our economy and midscale segments continues to recover ahead of expectations, we approach the peak leisure summer season with increasing optimism.
“We’ve never been more confident in our ability to drive sustained long-term value creation for franchisees, guests and shareholders by adding high-quality, FeePAR-accretive hotels to our portfolio, growing ancillary revenues and scaling AI to further differentiate our industry-leading technology platform.”
