Wyndham Hotels & Resorts opened its 20th Echo Suites extended‑stay hotel in Bozeman, Montana, adding 72 rooms to the brand’s portfolio. The Echo Suites brand, launched in 2024, has grown rapidly and now targets 300 locations by 2032.
The Bozeman property joins recent openings in Springfield, Missouri; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Round Rock, Texas, underscoring Wyndham’s focus on secondary and tertiary markets where extended‑stay demand remains strong.
Extended‑stay hotels offer stable demand fundamentals and higher fee‑related revenue per available room. Hotels that have been operating for six months or more are exceeding 70% occupancy through the first quarter of 2026, a benchmark that reflects the model’s resilience and the brand’s operational efficiency.
Mike Mueller, president of Wyndham’s extended‑stay brands, said, 'Opening 20 ECHO Suites hotels in such a short time—including our latest opening in Bozeman, in the heart of Montana’s Big Sky Country—speaks to the brand’s momentum and strong developer confidence. With industry analysts projecting nearly 10% growth through 2030, extended stay remains a compelling opportunity, and ECHO is proving that a purpose‑built, developer‑informed model can deliver strong returns while meeting the needs of today’s long‑term guests.'
Paige York, owner and developer of the Bozeman property, added, 'When we looked at Bozeman, we saw a clear opportunity to introduce a purpose‑built extended stay concept that meets the needs of today’s travelers, and ECHO Suites perfectly aligned with that vision.'
Wyndham’s expansion of the Echo Suites brand demonstrates the company’s ability to execute its development pipeline and capture market share in the growing extended‑stay segment. The brand’s rapid growth, combined with its focus on secondary and tertiary markets, positions Wyndham to benefit from workforce mobility, infrastructure investment, and longer‑term travel trends that continue to drive demand for extended‑stay accommodations.
