Extended-Stay Hotels
The extended-stay hotel segment began when Marriott’s Residence Inn brand was
established in the United States in the 1980s. This segment is growing quickly, hav-
ing expanded nearly fivefold between 1995 and 2002. Sometimes all-suite hotels are
classified as extended-stay properties. When these properties that offer only suites
are included, the extended-stay segment represents approximately 10 percent of the
entire hotel market.
