10/4/2012
 BETHESDA, Md.—At the Worldwide ERC Global Workforce Symposium, Marriott International, Inc. announced that its extended-stay portfolio now accounts for one-third of the company's North American development pipeline. Residence Inn by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott lead the U.S. market in this segment and have a combined pipeline of more than 180 hotels under development, including 140 new unit openings planned by 2015. Internationally, extended-stay demand is rising with Marriott Executive Apartments, located wholly outside of the U.S., expecting nearly a 50 percent increase in hotel distribution by 2016.
"The worldwide workforce is increasingly mobile with rising demand for extended-stay lodging products," said Thomas Kay, global account director, Marriott Global Sales, in an announcement. "Marriott is a leader in the extended-stay space, demonstrating our understanding and commitment to serve this rapidly growing community of traveling professionals."
Residence Inn's expansion signals widespread demand for the brand
A long-standing leader in the extended-stay segment, Residence Inn has the third-largest number of hotels in the Marriott International portfolio worldwide.

TownePlace Suites tops mid-price extended-stay brands in the industry
Driven by strong franchise demand for the brand, TownePlace Suites expects to grow its number of hotels by more than 40 percent by 2015, focusing on urban locations and secondary markets in the U.S. and Canada.
