Driving Innovation with Owners in Mind
With accent pieces that bring the vibrancy of Super 8 to life, combined with sleek, easy-to-clean furniture, resilient flooring, and fresh, triple-sheeted bedding, INNOV8TE 2.0 offers a stylish upgrade to hotels.

Beyond aesthetics, the package delivers practical benefits by streamlining housekeeping for more efficient maintenance, using durable, long-lasting materials to cut replacement costs, and optimizing every inch of space to enhance room functionality. These combined improvements make it a game-changer for hotel operations. Upgraded features include:

  • Sleek and Efficient Case Goods: New lighter-colored finishes brighten the room and are designed to maximize every inch of space. Upgrades include a combo unit that integrates the refrigerator, microwave, TV, along with new bedside tables, all with an open-front design that helps prevent guests from leaving personal items behind and minimizes cleaning time. Additionally, furniture arrives fully assembled, helping owners bypass setup hassles for a smooth installation.
  • Vibrant Accents: For road warriors who love Super 8's iconic colors, new accents like red desk lamps and seating, and bold yellow accents seamlessly incorporate these hues, infusing the space with vibrant energy. A fresh addition to the INNOV8TE design, a new 3-hook wall-mounted panel replaces traditional clothes racks with a space-efficient alternative.
  • Modern Window Treatments: Roller shades offer an easy-to-clean, simple-to-install, and durable solution that helps enhance energy efficiency by blocking excess sunlight. For those who prefer traditional drapes, a selection of new, modern patterns is available to complement the room decor.
  • Stylish Flooring Options: With easy installation and excellent resistance to stains, scratches, and everyday wear, LVT flooring combines durability with a sleek, sophisticated appearance. Owners who prefer carpeting will find the new versatile gray and charcoal designs both durable and well-suited for high foot traffic.
  • Sleek Seating: The lounge chair, a seating staple, is compact to maximize room space while mixing in a vibrant splash of red. Featuring durable vinyl upholstery, it blends comfort with easy maintenance.
  • Signature Black-And-White Headboard Art: A hallmark of the Super 8 room, the iconic headboard returns with a vibrant pop of yellow. Loved by both guests and owners, it features hyper-local artwork that offers a unique sense of place at every hotel. More than just stylish, it's durability and easy cleaning, provide lasting quality with minimal upkeep.

Saving Owners Time and Money
The beauty of INNOV8TE 2.0 lies in its flexibility, with owners able to opt for either a complete guestroom upgrade or gradual improvements, so they can update rooms at their own pace or all at once.

For those who prefer a more traditional renovation route, Wyndham offers support through its Procurement Service Providers.
