Voronezh, Russia—Wyndham Hotel Group has signed to open a Ramada Plaza City Centre hotel in Voronezh, Russia. The 201-key property will open in October in a 16 story tower, marking the debut of the hotel group in the city, while adding to the group’s portfolio in Russia which includes properties in Ekaterinburg, Kazan, and at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow.

“Our expansion within Russia through the signing of the newly built Ramada Plaza Voronezh City Centre comes just as the country is reportedly experiencing a rebound in airline passenger traffic,” commented Dan Ruff, Wyndham Hotel Group’s president and managing director, Europe, Middle East, Eurasia and Africa. “Voronezh is an important historic city, providing a fitting location for our iconic, globally-renowned Ramada brand. Its thriving culture and major center of higher education attracts a variety of travelers, which Ramada is well placed to serve.”

Guests of Ramada Plaza Voronezh City Centre will benefit from the hotel’s extensive leisure facilities including a spa, relaxation area, gym, and a steam room. They will be able to choose from the hotel’s main restaurant or lobby bar, or experience the views from the Sky Bar and barbecue terrace located 164 feet above the historic city center. Business travelers can choose from five fully equipped conference rooms. Furthermore, the hotel will participate in Wyndham Rewards.

“The property’s excellent facilities, including the Sky Bar with stunning views over Voronezh city center, are certain to impress its guests,” said Denis Mushtaev, the hotel’s general manager. “We’re very pleased to be creating a substantial 200 jobs in this growing city by bringing the Ramada brand to Voronezh.”
