It may not be the flashiest brand out there, but if you haven’t looked at Wyndham lately, you may be missing out.
The company, which includes a mix of brands heavy in the budget and mid-range segments like La Quinta and Ramada, has expanded its luxury footprint lately. Newer brands like the luxury-focused Registry Collection and the Wyndham Alltra all-inclusive chain offer high-end getaways in several destinations across North and South America, as well as Europe.
But there are other lesser-known gems like Wyndham Grand and Dolce, and you can even deploy Wyndham Rewards points on Caesars Entertainment hotels like the Nobu Hotel Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. It’s worth checking these properties out and finding ways to earn enough Wyndham Rewards points to use on your next getaway to one of them. A Wyndham Rewards credit card is a good way to start, as you can bank these points before you even check into your first hotel.
Here are a few of the best Wyndham hotels around the world for when you’re ready to book.

Enjoy proximity to Disney World amid the Mediterranean vibes of the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek. The resort’s meeting and event spaces mean the property is just as much of a draw for business travelers as it is for families in town to head to Disney or Universal. This translates to the on-site dining scene, which ranges from Tesoro Cove’s buffet for casual meals to the higher-end Deep Blu Seafood Grille & Sushi. The laid-back Back Bay Bar & Grille, which also fields live music, is available as well.
Guest rooms and suites are simple and spotless. Some come with lake views, while more family-friendly options include bunk beds. For parents needing a little rejuvenation from a full day at Disney, the Wyndham Grand’s Blue Harmony Spa offers a variety of treatments like deep-tissue massages and facials.
Rates at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek start at $420 or 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points per night.

For nature lovers, the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort’s location is hard to beat. The resort sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the rainforest of El Yunque National Forest. If a beach day or a rainforest hike isn’t enough, the resort also features two golf courses, a tennis court and even a casino.
Given its location, guest rooms and suites all come with views of the ocean or rainforest. But the biggest splurge of your stay might be at Mandara Spa, featuring a wide range of Balinese-inspired treatments.

Nobu Hotel’s Las Vegas outpost might be a little more rambunctious than others in the refined chain. This is Sin City, after all. But make no mistake: This is still a very serene way to experience Las Vegas. Plus, the Japanese aesthetic is a welcome, calming contrast to all the Roman flair within the surrounding Caesars Palace complex.
The spa-style bathroom in each Nobu guest room and suite is the focal point of this hotel-within-a-hotel. The deep sink, wooden accents and walk-in rain shower make primping a pleasurable affair. If you’re craving a more traditional spa experience, you’re welcome to book a treatment at the sprawling Qua Baths & Spa, which also serves the greater Caesars Palace resort.
There’s obviously a Nobu restaurant within the Nobu Hotel, and in fact, it’s the largest Nobu in the world. Go big or go home. It is Vegas, after all.
Rates at the Nobu Hotel Las Vegas at Caesars Palace start at $389 per night. Full points rewards are limited, though rates start at 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points per night. Most award nights require cash and points redemptions beginning at 6,000 points per night.

It’s hard to find a more picturesque resort in the Wyndham network than the Dolce by Wyndham CampoReal Lisboa. The rolling hills and pristine condition of the hotel exude serenity. This is also a golfer’s paradise thanks to the Donald Steel-designed golf course on-site.
Rooms are luxuriously appointed with comfortable bedding and feature golf course or courtyard views. They also come with balconies for some private outdoor space.
If golf isn’t your cup of tea, fear not: The hotel also has its own equestrian center, a heated indoor pool and an outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi.

Checking into the Bristol Panama feels more like experiencing a beloved boutique hotel in a European capital than a towering hotel in one of Latin America’s largest cities.
Rooms here are luxurious, with cream-colored bedding and Egyptian cotton linens, as well as high ceilings and decor sourced from Panamanian artists. Enjoy city vistas from soundproofed windows before retreating to your spa-inspired bathroom bedecked in marble and outfitted with stand-alone bathtubs and walk-in showers.
Indulge in Panamanian and global fare at the street market-inspired Salsipuedes, or just unwind on the 25th-floor Spa at Bristol Panama. Begin with a welcome cocktail, unwind with a facial and round out your visit with a few minutes in the steam room or under the massage jets of a Vichy shower.

This family-friendly resort may appeal to all ages, but it’s also a push forward in Wyndham’s quest to offer more of a luxury experience to its network of hotels and loyalty members. These sandy shores, a little removed from tourist-heavy Cancun, Mexico, make this resort an important outpost in that high-end mission.
The all-suite accommodations range from junior suites to more spacious options with private terraces and hot tubs. Guests are treated to welcome margaritas, Bulgari bath products and fresh fruit served poolside while they soak in the sun. There’s even a kids club to keep little ones busy with a mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
You certainly won’t go hungry here, either. While the Grand Residences Riviera Cancun includes all-day surf and turf at El Faro Grill and upscale Mexican cuisine at the dinner-only Flor de Canela, consider splurging on a chef-in-suite experience, where the resort’s private chef will come and cook a personalized feast for you and your travel companions in the comfort of your own accommodation.
Rates at the Grand Residences Riviera Cancun, a Registry Collection Hotel start at $534 or 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points per night.

There’s a time for over-the-top opulence, and the Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake might be just that moment should you find yourself in Hanoi, Vietnam, as its Versailles-inspired public spaces and dripping-with-gold rooms are a feast for the eyes.
This deluxe property features a rooftop pool that is the epitome of places to go to pose and make social media followers jealous. If sunbathing from a roof doesn’t do it for you, the guest rooms at the Dolce surely will.
Wyndham may not typically be associated with ultra-luxury, but this Hanoi hotel delivers. The gold-plated, stand-alone bathtubs found in many rooms are certainly conversation starters (and photo-ops). Some rooms also come with balconies with skyline views.
For those looking to get out and explore, Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake sits next to Giang Vo Lake and is only a four-minute drive to the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum.
