Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has formed a 10-year development relationship with Reside, a 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. and focus on expanding its offerings across top 50 markets in the U.S.
For more than three decades, Reside has managed and operated alternative accommodations and multi-family units with a key focus on furnished corporate housing. Through its partnerships, the company has a presence in 60 countries around the world.
The partnership builds on Wyndham’s foothold in the extended-stay segment, along with its existing offerings across segments with ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham, Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham and WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham.
“Reside has a proven track record as one of the most successful names in corporate housing," Amit Sripathi, chief development officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. "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.”
Several Wyndham Residences are already established in other parts of the world, including the United Arab Emirates and Greece. Through Reside, Wyndham Residences will bring guests to some of the country’s most iconic urban destinations, such as Seattle’s waterfront neighborhoods, the arts district of downtown Houston and the country’s historic capitol, Washington, D.C.
