Inspired by the Italian philosophy of il dolce far niente, or “the sweetness of doing nothing”, Wyndham introduces Dolce Nova, an upper-upscale extension of Dolce Hotels & Resorts.
Dolce Nova embraces a more intentional way of travelling, encouraging guests to slow down, savour the moment and engage more deeply with the people and places around them. Its distinctive design is rooted in authenticity, discovery and a strong sense of place and caters to growing demand for experience-led hospitality among both travellers and owners.
Dolce Nova centres on connection, wellbeing and the simple luxury of time, creating spaces where guests can slow down, immerse themselves in their surroundings and enjoy meaningful moments.
Affluent travellers are increasingly redefining luxury around authenticity, personal wellbeing and meaningful fulfilment, despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Dolce Nova has been created with the hopes to meet the needs of this evolving traveller, while providing owners and developers with a differentiated upper-upscale proposition backed by the scale, distribution and loyalty power of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The launch comes at a time of significant opportunity, with the global lifestyle hotel market projected to nearly double by 2034.
“Dolce delivers on a simple idea: that where people come together matters. Over time, we’ve seen travellers place greater value on something that often feels in short supply: time. Time to slow down, to be present, to reconnect with loved ones, and to experience destinations in a more meaningful way. Dolce Nova is a natural extension of the Dolce family, bringing its ethos into the upper-upscale lifestyle segment through design and experiences inspired by il dolce far niente and the simple luxury of time well spent,” said Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
“As demand for meaningful, experience-led travel continues growing, Dolce Nova offers owners and developers a distinctive new opportunity, combining European-inspired design, curated social experiences and a strong sense of place with the scale, technology and commercial power of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.”
Dolce Nova creates an experience that encourages guests to slow down, connect and savour each moment of their stay. From personalised experiences to authentic local connections and sensory details that engage the senses, every element is designed to inspire presence, discovery and the simple luxury of time well spent.
