Wyndham Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of its 20th ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham hotel in Bozeman, Mont., marking a growth milestone for the brand since its 2024 launch. Recent openings also include locations in Springfield, Mo.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Round Rock, Texas.
Hotels open six months or more are averaging occupancy above 70% based on Q1 2026 results, Wyndham said, with the most established locations exceeding 80%. A majority of hotels open more than a year are posting RevPAR index levels above 100%. More than 70% of stays exceed seven nights, with over half extending beyond 60 days.
ECHO Suites hotels average approximately 50,000 square feet, with nearly 74% rented space and guest rooms averaging about 300 square feet. In 2025, Wyndham’s extended-stay portfolio recorded more than 60 new executions, including 20 under ECHO Suites, growing the pipeline to approximately 45,000 rooms across its ECHO Suites, Hawthorn Extended Stay and WaterWalk brands.
“We set out to reach 300 executed contracts by 2027 and we’ve already exceeded our goal. 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,” said Mike Mueller, president of extended stay brands, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “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.”
“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,” said said Paige York, owner and developer of ECHO Suites Extended Stay Bozeman. “Equally important was the strength of Wyndham behind the brand, from their proven model to the hands-on support and extensive distribution network, which made moving forward with the project an easy decision, creating a standout addition to the local hospitality market.”
Wyndham’s long-term target is 300 ECHO Suites hotels open or under construction by 2032, with approximately one dozen additional locations currently under development. Wyndham estimates a $3.3 billion incremental room revenue opportunity for its franchisees tied to expected federal infrastructure spending of approximately $1.5 trillion under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and CHIPS and Science Act.
