Wyndham Enters Exciting New Era with Launch of Asia Pacific Headquarters in Singapore

SINGAPORE, January 26, 2022 – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,000 hotels across nearly 95 countries, is embarking on an exciting new era in Asia Pacific, as it moves into a state-of-the-art regional headquarters in Singapore.

Perfectly timed to coincide with the start of 2022, thus starting a new chapter in the company’s rich history, the head office is located in CapitaSpring, a spectacular 280-meter-high skyscraper and tech-integrated “office of the future” situated in the Raffles Place district, the heart of Singapore's business and financial centre – better known as the Central Business District. Conveniently located near Raffles Place MRT station and Telok Ayer MRT station, and featuring a cycling path with bicycle lots and end-of-trip facilities, you can choose to commute to work or play in any way you prefer. Designed by the starchitects at BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, its eye-catching exteriors weave tropical vegetation into a textured steel and glass frame, making it a striking landmark on the city’s skyline.

Elevated on the 47th floor, Wyndham’s new HQ aims to bring the vibrancy and diversity of Asia Pacific into a bright, inviting and modern office – a place to work, unwind and entertain. The interiors have been inspired by Wyndham’s all-encompassing portfolio of brands, with color palettes, furnishings and fittings that reflect the characteristics of each unique concept. For example, the front-of-house-style Lobby is based on Wyndham Garden, with the use of plants and natural materials like stone and wood to welcome team members and guests into an urban sanctuary.

Blurring the boundaries between work and play, this reception area flows seamlessly into a TRYP by Wyndham-inspired Pantry. TRYP’s edgy, urban aesthetic lends itself perfectly to the hip, steampunk F&B outlet, where colleagues can socialize and friendships are brewed over premium coffee and light bites. This social hub also features creative working spaces and meeting pods. 

The heart of the new headquarters is the General Office, a hospitality command centre in the sky. Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that offer boundless views of Marina Bay and out to sea, this energizing space is influenced by the flagship Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' brand, with a soft blue palette and high-table elements that encourage collaboration and interaction. While the open-plan nature of the office enables co-working, Wyndham also understands the need for peace and quiet, so a series of sound-proofed phone booths allow associates to make and take calls.

The executive Boardroom reflects the essence of a Howard Johnson by Wyndham hotel, with modern furniture, polished finishes and cutting-edge meeting technology, such as advanced video-conferencing, air-conditioning and lighting, and acoustic ceilings for sound absorption. Resembling a gallery, this space also features a photo wall of Wyndham’s newest hotels and resorts. The President’s Office meanwhile, showcases the art and luxury of Dolce Hotels & Resorts by Wyndham with carefully curated details and classic furniture, and a series of Directors’ Rooms will each have the character of its own brand, reinforced through imagery and taglines.

Naturally, sustainability is woven into every aspect of the new office. In line with the global Wyndham Green commitment, the design incorporates eco-certified and energy-efficient materials throughout. The CapitaSpring complex is also home to the “Green Oasis”, a breathtaking open-air garden where its tenants can work, relax and exercise in a deeply soothing setting.

“We are delighted and excited to reveal our new regional headquarters here in Singapore. Progress and innovation always start with the sharing of ideas, and this new space will help to usher in a new era of collaboration and interaction. By blurring the boundaries between the corporate and social worlds, we hope to stimulate creativity, encourage teamwork and unlock the full potential of our team members to drive our entire business forward,” said Carl Wee, Vice President, Technical Services Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is already an employer-of-choice in the global hospitality industry. The group was fourth on Newsweek’s “Most Loved Workplaces” list for 2021, which ranks the top 100 U.S. companies based on employee happiness and satisfaction. Following the launch of its new Singapore HQ, Wyndham is now perfectly positioned to accelerate its expansion strategy in 2022 and beyond, building on its leading position in the Asia Pacific with over 1,600 hotels in 20 markets and territories.
