Salary benchmarks
Our take
Sonder is out to revolutionize the hospitality industry through tech-powered services and thoughtfully designed accommodations. The company manages thousands of live and contracted units, including spacious rooms, fully equipped suites and apartments, and hotels.
The company partners with real estate owners and landlords to manage and operate entire multi-unit buildings. This allows the company to create consistently good experiences. Its apartments feature luxury hotel perks like modern design, professional cleaning, fresh towels, boutique toiletries, and an innovative app-based concierge.
The company’s continued global expansion and innovative technological guest experiences show that it has had its share of success. Unfortunately, an announcement in late 2025 appears to indicate the business will stop operating due to severe financial constraints - news that we will follow closely as it develops.
