Wyndham didn’t sell the building. They never owned it. They had a lease with the owners. The owners sold to another company who choose to kick Wyndham out.
Oh no! We went to this resort last year and really enjoyed our time there...we were hoping to go back soon.....

I have been trying to book there for the past year and they never told me why I wasnt seeing inventory. Makes sense now, I wonder if owner care has any idea.

Here's the thread that contains all of the links regarding what happened with Wyndham Grand Chicago:
tugbbs.com
Long story short, HPT owns the building - and decided to exit their entire relationship with Wyndham - which impacted 22 Wyndham branded hotels all told. The only timeshare location that was impacted was the Wyndham Grand Chicago - it converted over to Royal Sonesta effective 11/1/2019. I do believe certain reservations that were already made were honored - however as of last October - net new reservations were no longer possible. Owner Care is aware - the only reason the system still has Wyndham Chicago accessible is because of existing reservations - if they were to remove it from the system - existing reservations would disappear along with it. This topic came up at the annual owner's meeting as well - and while Wyndham tried to re-negotiate the long term lease contract (a 30+ year long term lease with Wyndham was terminated effective 10/31/2019), the building owner demanded a 30 day termination clause - including cancelation of all existing reservations - and would not back down. Given Wyndham has a 10-13 month reservation window - the COO indicated he could not in good faith accept the termination clause as existing owner reservations would be lost - which would have significantly negatively impacted existing Wyndham timeshare owners. Therefore they had to walk away from the location.

Wyndham Grand Chicago
Great time in Chicago this weekend. I would highly recommend the Wyndham Grand Chicago. No pressure to attend the sales pitch. Stayed in a 1 bedroom suite end unit. Very nice view of river and a city view.

We had our last bittersweet stay this past month over valentine's weekend. The new owners still honored our reservation made months in advance in a presidential unit. We've loved the resort and the location since the year opened as a Wyndham. We knew one of the bellmen from our former stays. That bellman has now been there through 3 different hotel names!
