Wyndham launches new prototype Arbor for Garden brand

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts launched the new Arbor prototype for its upper-midscale Wyndham Garden brand during the Americas Lodging Investment Summit this week in Los Angeles.

The new-construction prototype is meant to be cost-effective with “a fresh perspective on guest experience and a smart layout designed to maximize efficiencies and challenge rising construction costs,” the company claimed in a statement. The four-story, 110-room prototype is reportedly “inspired by the harmony of nature,” incorporating dappled light, textured wood, natural fabrics and flexible outdoor space. 

The blueprint offers developers a scalable option at under 58,000 square feet, fitted for fewer than two acres of land. Designed by architectural firm CallisonRTKL, the Arbor prototype offers simple framing and foundation across approximately 57,500 gross square feet to help reduce construction costs and meet land requirements in a range of markets. The brand enlisted a developer advisory council, made up of a dozen developers across multiple brands and segments, to provide feedback on critical elements of the prototype including back-of-house design and lobby configuration.
