Guests in search of contemporary, upscale, residence-style accommodations in urban environments now have a range of new options to consider in key cities, including Houston and Washington, D.C. This development is the result of a decade-long partnership between Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Reside, a leading company in residential hospitality management.
The franchise agreements introduce five residence-style hotels to the Wyndham brand, marking the launch of its Wyndham Residence tier in the U.S. This initiative aims to expand offerings across the top 50 markets in the country. The model caters to guests seeking long-term, home-away-from-home accommodations and those looking for a quick getaway. Reside has managed and operated alternative accommodations and multifamily units for over three decades, focusing strongly on furnished corporate housing. Currently, through its partnerships, the company has a presence in 60 countries worldwide.
This partnership enhances Wyndham's presence in the extended-stay segment, complementing its current offerings, which include ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham, Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham, and WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham. By adding Wyndham Residence properties in the U.S., the company reinforces its commitment to offering hotel opportunities for every owner and guest across various segments.
