Sonder, a platform for short-term rentals offering both apartments and boutique hotels, has recently joined forces with Marriott, bringing its offerings under the "Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy" label. This partnership extends early access to Marriott Bonvoy members, allowing them to earn and redeem points at Sonder locations via the Sonder website. The complete integration into Marriott's systems is set to occur later in 2025.
Founded in 2014, Sonder manages about 9,000 units across ten countries. Its focus is on urban locales such as New Orleans, Paris, and Dubai, providing both apartment-style accommodations with amenities like in-unit laundry and kitchens, and competitively priced boutique hotel rooms with coworking spaces.
Sonder operates its properties under long-term lease agreements, positioning itself apart from Airbnb's private rental model. Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points during Sonder's early access phase by booking directly through Sonder.
