Extended-Stay hotels, such as Residence Inn by Marriott, offer accommodations designed for longer stays, featuring larger rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and are aimed at people who are relocating, or guests needing temporary housing.

These offer an all-in-one urban experience, often encompassing the skyscrapers or properties combined with shopping malls or residential buildings.

Each type of hotel development caters to a wide range of market needs, from budget stays to high-end luxury experiences.
