PARSIPPANY, New Jersey–Guests seeking upscale residence-style accommodations in urban destinations have new offerings to consider in cities like Houston, Washington, D.C., and more as a result of a 10-year development relationship between Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Reside.
The franchise agreements bring five residence-style hotels that are open or under development to the Wyndham brand—marking the debut of its Wyndham Residence tier in the United States—with a focus on expanding its offerings across the top 50 markets in the country. For more than three decades, Reside has managed and operated alternative accommodations and multi-family units with a focus on furnished corporate housing. Today, through its partnerships, the company has a presence in 60 countries around the world.
This partnership builds on Wyndham’s foothold in the extended-stay segment, complementing its existing offerings across segments with ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham, Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham, and WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham. With the addition of Wyndham Residence properties in the United States, the company reinforces its commitment to providing hotel opportunities for every owner and guest across segments.
“Reside has a proven track record as one of the most successful names in corporate housing. Whether you need a comfortable place to live for a prolonged time, or you simply need more space while traveling with a larger group, Reside’s model expands our extended-stay offerings, delivering premium, professionally managed accommodations in locations we know guests want to visit. By tapping into Wyndham’s distribution network, we help unlock new demand generators that can help scale their business to the next level,” said Amit Sripathi, chief development officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Several Wyndham Residences are already established in other parts of the world, including the United Arab Emirates, Greece, and more. Through Reside, Wyndham Residences will bring guests to some of the country’s urban destinations, such as Seattle’s waterfront neighborhoods, the arts district of downtown Houston, and the country’s capitol, Washington, D.C.
