Sunday, April 10Two Toronto boutique hotels, Templar Hotel (now The Slate) and The Beverley Hotel, are now operated through Sonder. Although the company has been compared to Airbnb, Sonder describes themselves as a global hospitality provider, not a platform. Sonder leases the hotel or apartment unit and then takes over the daily operations of the property. In January 2022, Sonder announced an expansion in Toronto with over 110 units contracted in four additional locations. These units are in addition to the over 120 live units across the five existing Sonder locations in Toronto.
Skift Note: Sonder, which has made vocal its desire to upend the hospitality industry, is focused on adding high-end properties in popular destinations to its portfolio.
