Who Owns Wyndham Hotels

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is one of the world’s largest hotel companies with over 8,800 locations and more than 700,000 rooms in 90 countries. But who actually owns Wyndham Hotels?

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation is the owner of the Wyndham Hotels brand and was spun off from Cendant Corp. in 2006. The company itself is owned almost exclusively by outside investors and Wyndham Hotels stockholders. In fact, about 97% of the Wyndham’s stock is held by individual investors, with the remaining 3% owned by the company’s board.

So who are these outside investors and stockholders? Top financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and T. Rowe Price are among the company’s largest holders, with the Big Three together controlling around 13% of the company’s shares.

The remaining 84% of the stock is split among hedge funds, mutual funds, banks, and private investors. This diversification helps ensure that a broad range of investors are invested in the company’s success and take an active role in managing the portfolio.

In addition to individual investors, Wyndham also owns properties, including resort properties, vacation ownership properties, and residential properties, across five brands: Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Wyndham Grand, Ramada, Days Inn, and Wingate by Wyndham.

Overall, Wyndham Hotels is an incredibly successful company, and its ownership structure speaks to the sound financial management of the company. With its broad investor base, Wyndham is well-positioned to grow and expand in the coming years.
