Wyndham Hotels and Resorts announce the debut of the Howard Johnson brand in Thailand, marking a significant milestone in Wyndham’s ongoing expansion in Southeast Asia.
In search of a relaxing getaway filled with sun and sand amid Thailand’s inviting Gulf Coast? Look no further than the newly opened Howard Johnson by Wyndham Pattaya JC.
Close to popular attractions like Pattaya Floating Market, Tiger Park and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, the 193-room resort—Howard Johnson by Wyndham’s first in Thailand—offers travelers a tranquil retreat from the everyday.
A Tranquil Escape from Urban Life
Located just 20 minutes from U-Tapao Rayong–Pattaya International Airport and 90 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport, Howard Johnson by Wyndham Pattaya JC is an ideal homebase for guests looking to take in the spirit of Pattaya.
Rooms are modern in design featuring natural wood finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows with coastal views, as well as sitting areas and desk space for those mixing business and leisure travel.
When hunger strikes, guests can head to the Moby Mart for convenient snacks and treats, hit the fitness center for a quick sweat or take in the views at the luxurious infinity pool overlooking the city.
The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi, laundry, EV charging and more than 100 square meters of event space. Pet friendly accommodations are also available.
The opening of the Howard Johnson by Wyndham, which is owned and operated by JunCheng Group— comes amidst booming tourism growth in Thailand. This year alone, the country is expected to welcome 35.99 million foreign travelers and bring in $53 billion in revenue, up 32% from the prior year.
“Stunning beaches, historic architecture and iconic landmarks and temples— that’s the natural beauty of Pattaya. With Howard Johnson by Wyndham—our guests get to experience it all.
It’s truly a one-of-a-kind destination and one every traveler, especially Wyndham Rewards members, should have on their bucket list.” said Alvis Zhang, Executive Vice President and President of Hotel Operations, JunCheng Group
“Thailand is a thriving market and for good reason: more than ever, travelers from around the globe want to experience its unique food, culture and beauty. That steadfast demand is driving a flurry of hotel development, which is where Wyndham comes in.
With best-in-class tech, powerful distribution and the industry’s #1 rewards program—we give hoteliers the tools and resources they need to make their hotel a success.” said Joon Aun OOI, President, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Driving Growth Across Southeast Asia
Over the last five years, Wyndham has significantly grown its presence across Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, expanding its hotel portfolio in the region by more than 25%. Today, the company has more than 25 hotels in Thailand alone—including Wyndham Jomtien Pattaya, Wyndham Garden Bangkok Sukhumvit 42 and Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Bangkok Menam Riverside, among others—and over 180 across Southeast Asia.
Wyndham’s continued growth in the region follows industry trends and comes amidst an increasing focus on hotel franchising in Southeast Asia, where industry data shows the number of hotels operating under the model have doubled over the last decade.
What’s more, with RevPAR recovery reaching 93% of pre-pandemic levels in APAC in 2023, the region is seeing a rise in investor interest in the hotel segment.
The Company’s growth in the region is powered by the Wyndham Advantage—a combination of world-class marketing, distribution and other resources designed to put owners on the path to success.
Inclusive of more than $325 million in innovative technology investments over the past six years, owners have access to best-in-class technology from industry-leading providers, including next-gen property management systems, as well as a growing member base of approximately 112 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members globally.
