History
Andy Dolce built a company for the off-site day. Headquarters were in Montvale, New Jersey, and in Paris. The properties met International Association of Conference Centers standards. In August 2008, at a lunch at The Modern in New York, he announced the new name, Dolce Hotels and Resorts, and a wider welcome for leisure and transient guests. Meetings stayed the core. On 2 February 2015 Wyndham Hotel Group said it had acquired the company for 57 million dollars in cash: 24 properties and more than 5,500 rooms in seven countries, at that moment. Founder Andy Dolce, chairman Philip F. Maritz, and president Steven Rudnitsky backed the sale. The flag survived inside a much larger system.
