The first La Quinta by Wyndham in Batumi, Georgia

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has introduced the La Quinta by Wyndham brand to the Georgian market with the opening of the beachfront La Quinta® by Wyndham Batumi, in one of the fastest-growing travel destinations on the Black Sea coast. Known as the “Pearl of the Black Sea,” Batumi is renowned for its vibrant mix of modern and historic architecture, beautiful beaches, subtropical climate, and delicious food scene.

Georgia’s tourism sector is booming, with Batumi leading the way as one of the country’s top travel destinations, thanks to its stunning Black Sea coastline and vibrant urban character. In 2024 alone, Georgia welcomed 7.4 million international visitors, a 4.2% increase over the previous year. La Quinta by Wyndham Batumi is ideally positioned as a premier choice for leisure travelers, business travelers, and digital nomads seeking a combination of quality, comfort, and global consistency.

Mr. Dimitris Manikis, President, Europe, Middle East, Eurasia and Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said: “Wyndham’s mission is simple: to make hotel stays affordable for everyone, which means expanding wherever people travel. Georgia has become an increasingly important destination in the region, with tourism growing year after year. The introduction of the La Quinta by Wyndham brand in Georgia is a significant step in strengthening our presence in this dynamic market. We see tremendous long-term potential in Georgia, and our long-term commitment is to expand our footprint across the country, as part of our broader growth strategy in the EMEA region.”

Located just steps from the sandy beaches of Batumi Beach and just two kilometers from Batumi International Airport, the hotel puts guests in the heart of the action. From here, guests can explore nearby restaurants, shop at MetroCity Batumi, or visit top city attractions such as the iconic Ali and Nino Statue, Miracle Park, Piazza Square, the Dancing Fountains, and the elegant Colonnades, all within easy reach.
