"Since 2015,Wyndham has successfully introduced four new brands to the China market," said Leo Liu,president and managing director of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in Greater China. "With inbound and domestic tourism in China rising year over year,this creates tremendous opportunity for brands like Microtel,which is purpose-built for the needs of today's modern travelers,particularly millennials,with stylish rooms and efficient,tech- centric amenities."

The newly-built,192-room Microtel by Wyndham Guiyang is situated in building 4 of the International Finance Center in the Guanshanhu District. The 21-floor hotel is in in the heart of Guiyang's core financial district,and only a 10-minute walk from the Ecological Conference Center and five-minute walk from the nearby metro station. Offering sweeping city views,it is the first intelligent hotel in Guiyang thanks to in-room voice automation,which allows guests to control lighting,temperature and the television,and check weather conditions and traffic patterns by speaking to a small,table top device. Further,a self-check- in and check-out kiosk is available for an accelerated arrival and exit experience. The kiosk supports fast electronic payment through scanning a QR code,so guests can spend more time enjoying other amenities and exploring sites around Guiyang.
In addition to one all-day dining restaurant,the hotel will feature two meeting facilities that cater to 50 and 100 guests,respectively. Additionally,complimentary laundry and free access to the gym are available for every staying guest.
Wyndham already has plans to continue expanding Microtel's footprint across Greater China,as two more Microtel hotels have been signed and are scheduled to open later this year. This includes a new Microtel in Hangzhou,which will incorporate in-room technology from Xiaomi Youpin,a top electronics company in China. Microtel will leverage its collaboration with Xiaomi Youpin in an effort to further explore hotel automation and artificial intelligence functions.
