Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is sending a message to travelers coast-to-coast this holiday season: stay close to your loved ones without actually staying with them.

It’s all part of the Company’s new ad campaign, dubbed “Stay Close,” which is now live across social, digital, email and brand.com in the U.S. and Canada.

Created in partnership with Havas New York and produced by Annex 88, Stay Close delivers a comedic spin on the universal truths of travel while poking fun at the common pitfalls of holiday family gatherings.

Whether its escaping “aunt-arazzi” – the aspiring midlife influencer, Cousin Carl’s relentless investment pitches or simply avoiding that dreaded pull-out couch at Grandma’s, staying at a Hotel by Wyndham means happily embracing the chance to connect while knowing you can escape to a personal retreat at night.

Marissa Yoss, VP Media and Brand Marketing, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said, “The holidays can be a magical time with family and friends, but let’s face it, a little personal space and a real bed go a long way. No matter where your travels may take you across the U.S. this holiday season, chances are there’s a Hotel by Wyndham just 10 minutes away.”

Wyndham’s holiday campaign will launch with a comprehensive omnichannel strategy running through the end of 2025 and featuring 6- and 15-second ads on digital video and connected TV on YouTube, along with social media and email, reaching travelers with the all-too-relatable moments of holiday travel.

Travelers taking advantage of this limited-time offer can earn 7,500 bonus Wyndham Rewards points—enough for a free stay at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham—when they book two nights, now through January 20, 2025.

Nights do not need to be consecutive, and Wyndham Rewards members may take advantage of the promotion two times to earn a total of 15,000 bonus points.
