Microtel by Wyndham has entered into a multi-unit agreement with Pete Patel, president and CEO of RevPAR Development, for five new hotels, expanding the brand’s growing pipeline.

The new properties are built under the brand’s Moda prototype design, which is expected to increase operational efficiencies, lower development costs for hoteliers and drive greater returns for franchisees.

Microtel by Wyndham hotels will come up in Destin and Fort Walton Beach, Florida; Saint Rose and Chalmette, Louisiana; and Midland, Texas.

Pete Patel said: “The Wyndham team included us in the creative process as they were designing the Moda prototype for Microtel, which shows me that they care about evolving their brands in ways that work for those of us who build and operate them.

“It’s all about having a collaborative relationship with the brand, which is why we are excited to build these new Microtel hotels.”

KM Hotels has also recently signed agreements for a prototypical Microtel by Wyndham hotel in Asheville, North Carolina and a La Quinta by Wyndham in Richmond, Virginia.

Keri Putera – Microtel by Wyndham Brand Operations vice president said: “The Moda prototype represents the evolution of Microtel, and we’re seeing that evolution come to life as we bring on new franchisees who value its efficiencies and smart design.

“The entire design was created in partnership with franchisees and developers who shared their expertise to help us craft one of the most efficient buildings in the business.”

The first hotels, which are built on the new prototype design, are set to break ground later this year.

As of June 2019, Microtel has 93 hotels in the development pipeline including 67 in the US and 26 worldwide.

Microtel by Wyndham is a chain of more than 340 economy hotels located throughout North America, Mexico and the Philippines.

With approximately 9,200 hotels across more than 80 countries on six continents, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is a hotel franchising company.
