Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has formed a partnership with a residential management company to launch an extended-stay concept in the U.S.

The hotel giant is partnering with Seattle-based Reside to open five residential-style hotels under the Wyndham Residences brand, the companies announced Monday. […] With apartment-style features like full kitchens and in-unit laundry, the brand is geared toward longer-term stays, but Wyndham said it also accommodates groups looking for short trips.

Wyndham decided to partner with Reside for the brand because it is “one of the most successful names in corporate housing,” Wyndham Chief Development Officer Amit Sripathi said in a release. Reside has operated for three decades and has locations in 60 countries.

Wyndham isn’t the only major hotel franchise looking to dip into the short-term rental apartment market. Marriott struck a licensing agreement with Sonder in August, allowing it to list 9,000 units on Marriott’s platforms under the Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy branding.
