Ramada Worldwide Approaches 900 Hotels and 115,000 Rooms

In 2008, Ramada Worldwide reportedly operated approximately 897 franchised hotels with nearly 115,000 guest rooms across its global network. The brand was part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, which had assumed responsibility for Ramada following its separation from Cendant Corporation on 31/07/2006. Ramada's portfolio extended across North America and international markets, reflecting decades of expansion from its original hotel operations in Arizona during the 1950s. The network operated primarily through franchise agreements, allowing independently owned and managed properties to use the Ramada name under established brand standards. The reported figures represented an average of approximately 128 rooms per hotel, illustrating the scale of Ramada's accommodation network at the time. As a Wyndham Worldwide brand, Ramada competed in the midscale hotel segment, serving business travellers, families, and leisure guests in urban centres, suburban markets, and highway locations. The franchise model enabled the company to maintain an international presence without directly owning most of its hotels. The precise reporting date for the 897-property and 115,000-room figures requires confirmation against Wyndham Worldwide's 2008 corporate disclosures.
