Wyndham Hotel Group, part of the Wyndham Worldwide family of companies, has recently announced the opening of the first TRYP by Wyndham hotel in Colombia, the 140-room TRYP Medellín in Medellín, the country’s second-largest city. It becomes the brand’s fourteenth hotel in South America, joining properties in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The 14-story, four-star, select-service TRYP Medellín is located on Calle Colombia in the heart of the Colombian state of Antioquia’s capital city. The hotel’s opening reflects Wyndham Hotel Group’s strategy of introducing the TRYP by Wyndham brand in key urban markets throughout the Americas.

The hotel’s 140 spacious guest rooms include junior suites and TRYP by Wyndham’s signature family rooms, which feature a large bed for parents and bunk beds for children. The hotel also offers the brand’s specialty fitness rooms, equipped with elliptical machines, treadmills or stationary bikes and a complimentary fitness kit complete with a workout outfit, exercise mat, mineral water and extra towels.

Guests staying at the TRYP Medellín can maintain their fitness routines and relax outside their rooms at the on-site fitness center, Turkish bath, solarium and sauna. The hotel also offers complimentary high-speed Internet access, private parking lot, business center and bar. The hotel’s restaurant offers TRYP by Wyndham’s signature buffet breakfast that includes a variety of items with special emphasis on healthy, fresh ingredients.

Four function rooms comprising more than 300 square meters (3,200 square feet) of space are equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and can accommodate up to 400 people.

Continuing its expansion in the Americas, the TRYP by Wyndham brand will welcome its second Colombian property, TRYP Bogotá, in the fourth quarter of 2011 and will introduce its first location in North America with the summer 2011 opening of the 173-room TRYP New York City – Times Square South.
