WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is launching a new brand in the upscale extended stay segment. The new brand which comes after a strategic relationship with industry innovator WaterWalk, adds 11 hotels and over 1,500 rooms to the Wyndham ecosystem. They will be rebranded under the newly created WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham brand, which is the 25th in Wyndham’s portfolio.
WaterWalk brings a fresh take to the traditional extended stay experience with its unique LIVE|STAY model. STAY units are fully furnished and cater to guests looking for a traditional extended-stay, residential-like experience, while LIVE units are unfurnished and allow guests to create a long-term space that truly feels like home. The flexibility of the model is one of the brand’s strategic assets as units can transform and adapt in real-time to market and customer needs. WaterWalk’s current portfolio consists of 11 hotels throughout the U.S.
WaterWalk marks Wyndham’s third extended stay brand, joining ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham and Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham. ECHO Suites launched in 2022 and has over 265 economy new construction hotels in its development pipeline, half a dozen of which are nearing completion. Hawthorn in 2023 saw 30% growth in its midscale conversion and new construction development pipeline.
