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.

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.

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."
