Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is making significant strides in the upscale extended-stay market by forging a strategic alliance with WaterWalk, a pioneering player in the hospitality industry. This collaboration heralds the arrival of the newly christened WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham brand, which seamlessly integrates 11 hotels and over 1,500 rooms into Wyndham's already diverse portfolio.

WaterWalk's distinctive approach to extended stays, conceptualized by industry luminary Jack DeBoer and perpetuated by CEO Mimi Oliver, represents a paradigm shift in the sector. The brand's innovative LIVE|STAY model offers guests a novel blend of fully furnished STAY units and unfurnished LIVE units, empowering them to tailor their lodging experience to their individual preferences. Whether guests seek a traditional extended stay or a more personalized long-term residence, WaterWalk delivers flexibility and choice.

The inclusion of WaterWalk within Wyndham's extended stay family alongside Echo Suites Extended Stay and Hawthorn Extended Stay underscores Wyndham's unwavering commitment to providing a comprehensive array of extended stay options. This strategic move comes in response to the surging demand for extended stays observed over the past year, ensuring that Wyndham remains at the forefront of meeting the diverse needs of today's travelers.

By expanding its portfolio to encompass WaterWalk's upscale extended-stay offerings, Wyndham not only enhances its ability to cater to a broader spectrum of guests, including construction workers and digital nomads, but also creates compelling opportunities for property owners to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for extended accommodations.
