Baymont_Inn_Suites Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Wyndham Hotels" or the "Company") is a leading global hotel franchisor, licensing its renowned hotel brands to hotel owners in over 95 countries around the world.
Wyndham Hotels' primary segment is hotel franchising which principally consists of licensing the Company's lodging brands and providing related services to third-party hotel owners and others.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2023, as a result of the changes in its Hotel Management segment including the exit from the select-service management business, the sale of its two owned hotels and the exit from substantially all of its U.S. full-service management business, the Hotel Management segment no longer met the quantitative thresholds to be disclosed as a reportable segment. As a result, the Company has aggregated, on a prospective basis, the remaining hotel management business, which is predominately the full-service international managed business within its Hotel Franchising segment.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc.'s primary business segment is hotel franchising. This segment mainly involves licensing the company's lodging brands, including Baymont Inn Suites, to third-party hotel owners. Additionally, Wyndham Hotels provides related services to these owners and other parties.
In 2023, Wyndham Hotels made changes to its Hotel Management segment, including exiting the select-service management business and selling its two owned hotels. It also exited substantially all of its U.S. full-service management business. As a result, the Hotel Management segment no longer met the requirements to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment.
Consequently, Wyndham Hotels aggregated the remaining hotel management business, primarily the full-service international managed business, within its Hotel Franchising segment. This means that the Hotel Franchising segment now includes both the licensing of hotel brands like Baymont Inn Suites and the management of full-service international hotels.
