Mr Dembiec will be spearheading Reside’s flagship branded residences offering, which includes the newly-launched ‘Reside, a Wyndham Residence’, which launched earlier in 2024.
He will be responsible for the line’s expansion in the upscale extended-stay segment through a 10-year tie-up with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor.
Mr Dembiec, who joined Reside in 2018 as Executive Vice President and General Counsel, brings over three decades of legal and business expertise to his new role.
Through an alliance with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, five residence-style hotels are currently open or under development, in locations including Seattle, Houston, Washington, D.C. and New Orleans. Expansion is planned across top urban markets with a focus on the top fifty U.S. markets. The launch of this deal also marks the debut of the Wyndham Residence tier in the U.S.
Mr Dembiec said he is“ truly excited to take on this role and help shape the future of our branded residences offering, in particular our strategic tie-up with Wyndham. Extended-stay travel is rapidly evolving, and our goal is to create spaces that feel like home while offering the reliability and quality our guests expect.
“I’m looking forward to collaborating with our valuable stakeholders and incredible team to deliver thoughtful, comfortable solutions that meet the real needs of today’s travellers, whether they’re staying for a week or a year.”
