PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 28, 2024 — Guests seeking contemporary, upscale residence-style accommodations in urban destinations now have new offerings to consider in key cities like Houston, Washington D.C and more as a result of a 10-year development relationship between Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor, and Reside, a leading residential hospitality management company.
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 U.S.—with a focus on expanding its offerings across top 50 markets in the U.S. The model caters to guests looking for both long-term, home-away-from-home units as well as those looking for a homebase for a quicker getaway. For more than three decades, Reside has successfully managed and operated alternative accommodations and multi-family units with a key focus on furnished corporate housing. Today, through its partnerships, the company boasts a presence in 60 countries around the world.
What’s more, 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 StaySM by Wyndham. With the addition of Wyndham Residence® properties in the U.S., the Company reinforces its commitment to providing hotel opportunities for every owner and guest across segments.

By tapping into Wyndham’s distribution network, we help unlock new demand generators that can help scale their business to the next level.” – Amit Sripathi, Chief Development Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
