- Sonder Holdings Inc. operates as a technology-enabled hospitality company offering short-term rentals of designed apartments, suites, and intimate boutique hotels for leisure travelers, families, digital nomads, and business travelers; core products include 1-, 2-, and 3+-bedroom furnished apartments with full kitchens, separate living areas, and in-unit laundry, alongside stylish 1-bedroom hotel rooms featuring mobile check-in, keyless entry, and 24/7 digital concierge support via the Sonder app; the company manages over 9,000 units across more than 40 cities in 10 countries spanning North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Founded in 2012 in Montreal, Canada, by Francis Davidson and Lucas Pellan, and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Sonder partners with property owners for leasing, renovation, and revenue management using dynamic pricing, data analytics, and marketing through its website, app, and channels. In 2024, Sonder initiated integration with Marriott International's Bonvoy platform, receiving $7.5 million in key money and planning full rollout of properties under the Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy collection by mid-2025 alongside $50 million in annualized cost reductions; however, Marriott terminated the licensing agreement on November 9, 2025, due to Sonder's default, removing properties from Marriott channels and prompting an immediate wind-down of operations.
