The global distribution systems code for all Corinthia hotels has been changed to WY for the Wyndham hotel brand.

The code change follows announcement of a recent joint venture between Corinthia Hotels and Wyndham Hotel Group International for management and development efforts.

Under the joint venture, Wyndham Hotel Group International will represent all Corinthia hotels for distribution via GDS, the Internet and third-party vendors.

Under the joint venture, some Corinthia Hotels will be branded as Ramada Plaza or Wyndham hotels.

The seven luxury hotels in the portfolio – the Corinthia Lisboa Hotel in Lisbon; Corinthia Nevskij Palace Hotel in St Petersburg; Corinthia Towers Hotel in Prague; Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal in Budapest; Corinthia San Gorg Hotel and Corinthia Palace Hotel, both in Malta; and the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel in Tripoli – will retain the Corinthia name and be associated with the Wyndham Grand Collection.
