Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of La Quinta by Wyndham Parnell Auckland, New Zealand.
In collaboration with Safari Group of New Zealand, a strategic partner of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the 116-room La Quinta by Wyndham Parnell Auckland becomes the third La Quinta by Wyndham property in the country and the second in Auckland. This will follow the successful opening of La Quinta by Wyndham Ellerslie Auckland in 2023, further strengthening Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ expanding presence in the region.
The opening has come amid a backdrop of a thriving tourism sector in New Zealand, which saw a remarkable 159 percent surge in ‘bleisure’ travel planning in 2023, as reported by Booking.com. In 2023, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts opened key properties in New Zealand, including La Quinta by Wyndham Ellerslie Auckland and TRYP by Wyndham Tory Street Wellington, underscoring Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to enhancing its hospitality offerings in this key tourism market.
“We are delighted to expand our long-standing partnership with Safari Group by opening the second La Quinta by Wyndham property in Auckland, New Zealand. Renowned for its stunning natural scenery and dynamic tourism industry, New Zealand is a top destination for both business and leisure travellers. As the trend of bleisure continues to rise, we remain dedicated to making hotel travel possible for all in this highly desirable market,” said Ben Schumacher, Vice President of Operations for Southeast Asia, and Pacific Rim at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Benjamin Trotter, CFO and COO of Safari Hotels, a division of the Safari Group, said the long-term partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has been a cornerstone of Safari Group's success in New Zealand's hospitality sector.
"Through this strategic collaboration, we have leveraged Wyndham's extensive global network and robust commercial and operational best practices. This has allowed us to enhance our service offerings, optimise operational efficiency, and deliver exceptional guest experiences. Our shared vision and commitment to excellence have fostered a culture of continuous improvement and strategic growth, enabling us to set new benchmarks in hospitality standards and expand our presence in the market."
