The Wyndham hotel chain plans to reopen the former Ramada hotel downtown, closed since 2012.
By email, Gabriella Chiara, director of Global Communications for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc., said the hotel on First Street will be part of the Wyndham brand when it reopens next year.
The hotel's top floor now sports a "Wyndham" banner.
The 297-room hotel was built in 1969. It has had many owners over the years and has operated under several flagships - Crowne Plaza, Hilton and Macon Downtown Hotel. It was a Radisson for a period in the 1990s.
It has passed in and out of foreclosure several times in the past decade.
It's currently owned by a Canadian businessman. In 2014, construction workers told 13WMAZ that Sangha planned to reopen the hotel as a Park Inn by Radisson before the end of the year, but those plans apparently fell through.
Bibb County tax records show that the hotel was sold for $4.1 million in 2007 but is now valued at just over $1.5 million.
