Wyndham Plans Allergen-Free Rooms and Meeting Spaces

Wyndham

hotels worldwide will soon cater to travelers suffering from allergies

and asthma, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts recently announced. As part of

the brand's new Wyndham ClearAir initiative, all Wyndham properties

will be required to make 10 percent of their room inventory, or a

minimum of 25 rooms, allergy-friendly by the end of 2009.

" We want to offer Wyndham guests amenities that are smart,

innovative and, more important, useful, " Wyndham President

Strebel said in a statement. " As travelers continue to focus on

wellness, we're excited to offr ClearAir rooms as a healthy amenity

for Wyndham guests and meeting attendees. "

Already available in eight Wyndham hotels, ClearAir rooms feature

walls, carpeting, bedcovers and fabrics that are sanitized and treated

with a long-lasting microbial shield that makes them free of odors and

resistant to both bacteria and viruses. What's more, they sport

medical-grade air purification systems that remove up to 98 percent of

all allergens and are cleaned with tea tree oil, which acts as a

natural antiseptic and disinfectant in order to maintain clean air

conditions.

Meeting rooms at Wyndham hotels will feature similar but even

stronger air purification systems; they'll purify air at greater

intensity and filter it eight times more frequently than standard

air-handling systems in order to achieve 99.9 percent effective

treatment of air and surfaces inside hotels' meeting spaces.

Wyndham, which is the first national upscale lodging chain to

mandate allergy-friendly rooms, says its ClearAir rooms are a response

to guest concerns over rising consumer health issues and costs

associated with allergic reactions. One in four Americans suffer from

asthma and allergies, it points out, citing the Asthma and Allergy

Foundation of America.
