Wyndham Grand Comes Ashore in Clearwater Beach
January 19, 2017
Wyndham Hotel Group opened on January 19 its latest resort destination, the new-construction, 343-room Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach. The striking two-tower resort, owned by Florida philanthropist Dr. Kiran Patel and managed by Wyndham Hotel Group, sits just steps from Pier 60 and the white sands of Clearwater Beach, named the best beach in the U.S. It offers direct Gulf Coast views, signature dining, contemporary décor, and more than 22,000 sf of event space — including the Dunes Ballroom, the largest in Pinellas County — for memorable meetings and events.
Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach is the brand’s 14th location in the U.S. — and the third in Florida, joining established resorts in Orlando and Jupiter — as it continues widening its footprint in destinations such as Athens, Phuket, Shanghai, Istanbul, Chicago, and Frankfurt. Wyndham Hotel Group recently unveiled plans for new-construction Wyndham Grand hotels in Barbados, Nevis, Uruguay and Paraguay.
The resort, located within 30 minutes of the area’s two international airports, offers 12 meeting rooms including the nearly 11,000-sf Dunes Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 800 people — complete with terraces, outdoor function space, free Wi-Fi and state-of-the-art technology such as programmable chandeliers that can change colors and light patterns at the touch of a button. With each event at Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, professional and novice planners can earn loyalty points with go meet, the first formal rewards program of its kind for meeting planners. Planners who are members of the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program can earn one point for every dollar spent on qualifying revenue, regardless of billing method, with no minimum spend requirement and no maximum point limit.
Each contemporary guest room at Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach faces the ocean or Intracoastal Waterway and features water-inspired décor and floor-to-ceiling windows, with most offering balconies. The hotel’s two bi-level presidential suites offer the utmost in waterfront luxury with three bedrooms, separate dining and living areas, and private terraces.
Guests can dine and imbibe at DocK’s, the pool bar and grill; eSKPades, the barista and lobby bar; or Ocean Hai, the resort’s signature dining experience and the only Asian Fusion restaurant in Clearwater Beach. Additional services and amenities include an open-air lobby, a pool overlooking the beach, the full-service Spa Pallavi, and a 24-hour fitness center.
