Founded in Montreal back in 2014, Sonder soon saw rapid growth and now have a presence in cities across the globe. What began with the aim of providing a better stay has grown into a large-scale international operation. They work with world-class architects and designers to create unique spaces – ones that transcend ordinary perceptions of hospitality.
As a result, Sonder have emerged as a major disruptor in the hospitality sector, combining many of the benefits of a hotel and serviced apartment all in one. They list a huge choice of studios, lofts, hotel rooms, and apartments in cities around the world, each offering perks such as concierge services and 24/7 maintenance. Indeed, Sonder manage and professionally run all of their inventory, ensuring that guests never have to deal with a middleman, unlike in a traditional short-let apartment.
Sonder’s pre-arrival verification process is also simplified for maximum convenience by allowing guests to complete it online and not have to deal with the hassle of meeting anyone face-to-face at the property. All you do is provide some basic information about yourself, verify your email and phone number, a credit card for incidentals, and if necessary, provide a photo ID.
