Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has stepped up the rollout of its upscale Dolce by Wyndham brand in the United States, unveiling three new properties in Miami Beach, Palm Springs and New York’s Hudson Valley as it sharpens its pitch to design-conscious corporate and leisure travellers.
The trio of openings, in Miami Beach, Florida; Palm Springs, California; and Tarrytown in the Hudson Valley, extends the boutique-leaning brand into some of the country’s most-visited business and leisure destinations, and signals Wyndham’s intent to compete more aggressively in the upscale, lifestyle-led segment of the market.
The group says the strategy is a direct response to growing demand for stays that fuse a strong sense of place with distinctive design and cultural credentials. Each new property has been tailored to its setting, blending boutique-style accommodation with the meeting and event facilities that group bookers increasingly expect.
In South Beach, the 90-room Dolce by Wyndham Miami Beach offers a design-forward bolthole within walking distance of the Miami Beach Convention Center and Lincoln Road. Bedrooms feature private balconies, plush bedding and light-filled interiors that lean on Mediterranean warmth, complemented by works from the internationally acclaimed photographer Greg Lotus displayed throughout the hotel. Social spaces, elevated dining and easy access to the city’s beaches, nightlife and cultural attractions are aimed at delegates extending convention trips into a long weekend, as well as leisure guests.
On the West Coast, V Capri Palm Springs, a Dolce by Wyndham, offers a retro-chic desert retreat against the backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains and just minutes from Palm Springs International Airport. The hotel houses more than 140 guest rooms and suites, many with mountain or pool outlooks, and pairs mid-century-inspired interiors with resort-style pools, cabanas and an adults-only poolside bar. GiGi’s restaurant anchors the food and beverage offer, while a 24/7 fitness centre and flexible gathering spaces are designed to appeal equally to incentive groups and independent travellers.
In the Hudson Valley, the Sleepy Hollow Hotel, a Dolce by Wyndham, sits 30 minutes from Manhattan and is positioned as the brand’s standout pick for meetings and events. The estate-style property offers more than 240 guest rooms and suites, an indoor pool, fitness centre and on-site dining, set across 11 acres of landscaped grounds and within easy reach of landmarks such as Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate and Lyndhurst Mansion. Crucially for the corporate market, it delivers more than 30,000 sq ft of flexible meeting and event space, including one of the largest ballrooms in Westchester County, a draw for conferences, off-sites and large-scale incentives that need scale without straying far from New York City.
The expansion underlines Dolce’s positioning as a destination-led brand within the wider Wyndham stable. Internationally, the portfolio takes in Dolce by Wyndham Versailles, set within the historic Domaine du Montcel in France; Dolce by Wyndham Çeşme Alaçatı on Türkiye’s Aegean coast; and Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa in Sicily, each leaning into local character while plugging into Wyndham’s global infrastructure.
For owners, the group is pitching Dolce as a flexible upscale platform that combines boutique appeal with the distribution clout of one of the world’s largest hotel companies and the pulling power of Wyndham Rewards, which now counts more than 122 million enrolled members. For business travel buyers and event planners, the message is more straightforward: three new design-led options in the US, each engineered to handle groups as comfortably as it does individual guests.
