Historic Wye River Conference Center Joins Premier Dolce Hotels and Resorts Brand

Wyndham Hotel Group, hotel giant with an unmatched global presence of nearly 8,000 hotels, fortifies its
leading groups and meetings brand Dolce Hotels and Resorts with the addition of Wye River, a Dolce
Conference Center, an exclusive group destination. Nestled on 1,000 acres of private rolling countryside along
Maryland’s tranquil Wye River, Dolce’s Wye River Conference Center is designed for intimate groups seeking
shared experiences. Once the summer home of William Paca, first governor of Maryland and signatory on the
Declaration of Independence, the center has a rich American history as a pasture herding Wye Angus cattle
and later as a classified location for historic meetings including the 1998 Wye Accord for Peace in the Middle
East. Dolce Hotels and Resorts offers the best in meetings with creative spaces and trailblazing standards for
meeting packages that redefined the industry. The Wye River Conference Center, developed in partnership
with The Aspen Institute, is the ideal addition to the venerated meetings brand in a prime location outside of
Washington D.C., one of the top 10 meetings destinations in the U.S. Home to two historic estates and 4,900
square feet of flexible meeting and event space, Dolce’s Wye River Conference Center offers guests dedicated
conference support, state-of-the-art amenities, farm-to-table cuisine and working space across the estate’s
striking landscape including 18th-century English gardens. “Dolce hotels are designed to foster imaginative
thinking with exquisitely distinct environments and one-of-a-kind shared experiences – and Wye River
Conference Center is no exception,” said Mark Kukulski, president, Wyndham Hotel Group Management. “This
historic complex is tucked away from distraction advocating for the exchange of ideas and meaningful
leadership, values at the core of both The Aspen Institute and Dolce Hotels and Resorts.” Wye River, a Dolce
Conference Center, is the sister hotel to Dolce Aspen Meadows, also developed in partnership with The Aspen
Institute. A trusted partner of Dolce, The Aspen Institute promotes creativity and provocative thinking as a
means of sparking positive innovation. The hotel also joins several new additions to the Dolce Hotels and
Resorts portfolio including Dolce Washington Dulles also outside of Washington, D.C., and The Summit, A
Dolce Hotel, in Cincinnati, both scheduled to open by 2018. Guests of Wye River, a Dolce Conference Center,
