Nevis tourism minister Mark Brantley said: "The Nevis Island Government is delighted with the announcement from Wyndham Hotels of its expansion into Nevis.
"This is fantastic news for tourism on the island that we can attract another international brand to complement our bespoke Plantation Inns and the grand dame of Caribbean luxury Resorts, the Four Seasons Nevis.
“We look forward to continuing to work closely with the developers to bring this much anticipated development to successful completion and welcome Wyndham to our shores."
The announcement of the hotel project will add to the portfolio of 13 hotels currently operated by the Wyndham Hotel Group in the Caribbean.
The company has also recently opened 23 hotels which are now operational.
