The Wyndham Hotel Group represents nearly 6,500 hotels and more than 535,000 hotel rooms on six continents.

Through the NAHB Member Advantage program, NAHB members can get a 10% discount off the hotel chain’s best rate, its brand Internet rate.

To book rooms online, visit the Wyndham Hotel Group page of the Member Advantage discount pages on the NAHB Web site by clicking here and follow the simple steps to make your reservation. The Web pages also enable you to review key hotel amenities, hotel descriptions and directions.

*“Best Available Rate” is defined as the best, non-qualified, publicly available rate on the Internet for the hotel, date and accommodations requested. The discount for International properties may be less than or equal to 10% off Best Available Rate. Certain restrictions apply. To redeem this offer, click our URL link on Organization’s website or call the hotel brand phone number above and give ID at the time of reservation.

Free NAHB Kit Gives Builders Back-to-Basics Tips to Navigate the Slowdown

What was once expected to be a relatively mild housing slump following three years of record new home construction and sales has given way to a significant downturn.

To help members navigate the uncharted waters of this slowdown, NAHB has compiled a comprehensive “Back to Basics” online toolkit — the best of the basics, the tried and true and the truly new. To access the toolkit, click here.

To access the “Back to Basics” toolkit, you must be an NAHB member and have a login to www.nahb.org. To create a login, go to www.nahb.org/login or click on the log-in button on the main menu bar.

For assistance, call the NAHB Member Service Center at 800-368-5242.
