Wyndham Opens New Hotel in Cusco, Peru

Wyndham Hotel Group has opened the Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman in Cusco, Peru, the first property to fly the upscale Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand flag in the South American country.

Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman is located just a short ride from downtown Cusco, the Inca ruins of Macchu Picchu and the Andes Mountains.

The 79-room hotel features a premier lounge and oxygen bar, a skywalk balcony offering local and international cuisine and the Samay Wasi Inka Spa, which combines ancient Inca healing techniques with modern luxury spa treatments.

The hotel becomes the second full-service Wyndham property in South America and the fifth Wyndham Hotel Group property in Peru, following the expansion of the Ramada brand in the country last year to four hotels.

The new Wyndham hotel, owned by Cuzco II Ventures, joins the Hotel Costa Del Sol Ramada Cusco in the city of Cusco, one of the country’s most significant tourist destinations, once the capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most prominent gateways to Machu Picchu. 

“We are proud to introduce the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand to Peru with the opening of the Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman in one of the country’s most popular and historic cities,” said Daniel del Olmo, senior vice president and managing director of Latin America for Wyndham Hotel Group. “The expansion of our diverse portfolio of hotels is a priority for Wyndham Hotel Group as the region continues to experience economic growth and a robust landscape for development, especially in the burgeoning country of Peru.”

As of 30 June 2013, Wyndham Hotel Group has 110 hotels and over 13,800 rooms in Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean operating under the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Howard Johnson, Days Inn, Ramada, Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham, Wingate by Wyndham and TRYP by Wyndham brand flags.
