Owned and operated by Operadora Casa Grande and located at Av. Lazaro Cardenas 2305 in San Pedro Garza Garcia, the former Radisson hotel is minutes from fine dining and shopping in downtown Monterrey. Nearby attractions include the Museum of Mexican History, Alfa Planetarium, Contemporary Art Museum, Monterrey Arena and area convention centers such as CONVEX and CINTERMEX.

“The opening of the Wyndham Casa Grande Monterrey underscores our commitment to expanding the Wyndham portfolio in key markets throughout Mexico,” said Jeff Wagoner, (bottom right photo)  president of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. “Its close proximity to key corporate complexes as well as numerous tourist attractions makes this a prime destination for business and leisure travelers alike.”

 Four other upscale all-inclusive resorts recently joined the Wyndham brand in Mexico: Beach Palace®, Wyndham Grande Resort in Cancun; Isla Mujeres Palace®, Wyndham Grand Resort in Isla Mujeres; Playacar Palace®, Wyndham Grand Resort in Riviera Maya and Xpu-Ha Palace®, Wyndham Resort, also in Riviera Maya.

According to General Director Gerardo Murray of Grupo Hotelero Casa Grande, the hotel’s management company, the “already elegant hotel underwent a half-million dollar renovation to further enhance the guest experience and meet brand standards before joining the upscale Wyndham system.”
