Dallas-based Wyndham International Inc. on Nov. 1, will brand the 850-room Nassau Marriott Resort & Crystal Palace Casino, the company’s largest-ever property franchise contract.
The resort also marks the hotel operator’s re-entry into the Bahamas market, Wyndham said.
“With the addition of the Wyndham Nassau to our resort portfolio, we’re now the largest U.S.-based hotel brand representing the highest number of guestrooms in the Caribbean,” Fred Kleisner, Wyndham’s chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
The new Wyndham Nassau is owned and managed by Ruffin’s Crystal Palace Hotel Corporation Ltd., and is currently undergoing a $12 million renovation to its guestrooms and public areas. In addition, the hotel also will undergo an exterior repainting and roof restoration project.
The Wyndham Nassau is an oceanfront resort located halfway between the airport and downtown. Other features include eight food and beverage outlets, one of the Caribbean’s largest casinos, more than 30,000 square feet of meeting space, and a swimming pool with waterfall, spiral rock waterslide, Jacuzzi and swim-up bar.
