Overview
- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts opened the 20th ECHO Suites property in Bozeman, Montana, extending a nationwide rollout that began in 2024.
- ECHO locations operating for six months or more are averaging occupancy above 70%, and many are out-earning comparable hotels on revenue per available room.
- The company says nearly a dozen new ECHO builds are underway, with a long-term goal of 300 hotels open or under construction by 2032.
- Mike Mueller said Wyndham has already surpassed an earlier internal goal to reach 300 executed contracts by 2027 for the brand.
- Wyndham estimates a $3.3 billion revenue lift for franchisees from federal infrastructure and chip-plant spending, supported by $425 million in tech investments including the AI-driven Wyndham Connect.
