Extended stay hotels have emerged as a pivotal sector within the hospitality industry, serving guests who require longer-term accommodations. These properties are designed to provide the comfort and convenience of home, emphasizing operational efficiencies and a model that’s notably resilient in the face of fluctuating market conditions. Ideal for business travelers, situational guests (such as relocating families, extended medical stays, etc.), and those on longer stays for projects or vacations, the extended stay segment offers a compelling value proposition to investors and developers.
One key segment driving extended stay demand is infrastructure travelers, which represents a ~$3.3 billion opportunity for Wyndham hotel owners and developers. Learn more about “How Infrastructure Investment is Changing the Hotel Market” in this blog.
The demand for extended stay accommodations is on the rise, driven by changing work patterns, increased mobility, and a growing preference for accommodations that offer more space and home-like amenities.
