Sonder Corp. is an apartment-hotel company that manages short-term rentals in North America and Europe.[1][2] It is based in San Francisco, California, in the United States.[3]
History and services
With 3,500 rental units managed, Sonder was the largest professional host on the lodging website Airbnb as of 2019.[4] Sonder has also been described as a competitor to Airbnb.[5] Its competitors in the short-term rental market include Domio Inc., Lyric Hospitality and The Guild.[6][7]
In addition to managing apartments in existing buildings, Sonder is constructing its own housing. As of January 2020, Sonder had apartment construction projects planned in Dallas, Denver, Miami, New York City and Philadelphia.[8][9][10][11][12]
The company had raised $400 million in capital funding as of 2019 and claimed its worth at $1 billion.[13]
Controversy
The city of Boston fined Sonder $11,700 in December 2019 under a new law banning absentee landlords from short-term rentals. Sonder, which accounted for 39 of the 288 fines in the city, said it would appeal.[14]
