In June 2005, the Blackstone Group acquired Wyndham International for $3.2 billion.
Summerfield Suites, Wyndham's extended-stay offering, was included in the deal.
On December 1, 2005, Global Hyatt confirmed that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the 21-hotel Summerfield Suites brand from Blackstone for an undisclosed price.
It took AmeriSuites' former position in the Hyatt lineup and competed in the upscale tier of the extended-stay market with Residence Inn, Homewood Suites, and Staybridge Suites.
The new offering provides fully equipped 1 and 2 bedroom suites, a free hot breakfast buffet, an outdoor BBQ area, 24-hour convenience store, movie rental, dry cleaning and recreational facilities.
