Sonder (company)

Sonder Holdings Inc. was a company that managed short-term rentals, such as apartment hotels, in North America, Europe, and Dubai. It was founded in Montreal, Canada in 2014 and after 2016 was based in San Francisco, California.

Sonder managed over 9,000 units in over 40 cities and served over 1 million guests. Although it competed with Airbnb, Sonder leased and managed its own rentals. It targeted travelers who prefer larger accommodations than a hotel room but wanted a more predictable experience than renting from an amateur host. Guests used a mobile app to check in and get customer support. The company outsourced maintenance and housekeeping services. Guests could request this service via its app.

Following loss of business from the COVID-19 pandemic and an unsuccessful partnership with Marriott International, Sonder filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in November 2025.
