DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2001--Wyndham International, Inc. (NYSE:WYN) is pleased to announce the opening of its newest flagship hotel at one of the nation's busiest airports.
After a $35 million renovation and transformation, the 396-room Wyndham Newark Airport in Elizabeth, N.J., will officially open its doors December 21.
In light of our nation's current economic environment, it was important to strategically proceed with hotel projects that could successfully weather the downturn, said Fred J. Kleisner, chairman and chief executive officer for Wyndham. We are very confident that the Wyndham Newark Airport will not only be an immediate financial success for our company, but will also be the preferred hotel in the Newark market.
