Wyndham Hotel Group
plans to add to its stable of midscale brands with the acquisition of AmercInn
from Northcott Hospitality.
The $170 million
acquisition includes AmercInn's management company, Three Rivers Hospitality
and 10 owned hotels, real estate that Wyndham Hotel Group plans to sell.
AmericInn has about 200
hotels in 21 states, predominately in the Midwestern U.S., Ohio Valley, and
Mountain states. Most of the hotels are franchised properties. The brand has 23
hotels in development.
The deal is subject to
regulatory approval. When the deal is done, Wyndham Hotel Group will have 20
brands. Wyndham is already well-represented in the upper-midscale and midscale
segments with Baymont, Hawthorn Suites, Tryp, Ramada and Wyndham Garden.
