U.S.
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Guests seeking contemporary,

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.
"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
