Marriott Terminates Sonder Agreement After Default, Cuts 2025 Rooms Growth Outlook to About 4.5%

Marriott says Sonder defaulted, prompting removal of the inventory from its booking system.

Overview

  • Marriott confirmed the Sonder licensing agreement is no longer in effect due to Sonder’s default.
  • Sonder rooms have been removed from Marriott’s system, with the formerly listed properties no longer findable via Marriott channels.
  • Marriott now expects 2025 net rooms growth to approach 4.5 percent, and it left all other guidance from November 4 unchanged.
  • Travel outlets advise customers with upcoming stays at former Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy locations to verify reservations or secure alternatives given potential disruption.
  • The collapse follows a 2024 deal to add roughly 200 Sonder properties that fully rolled into Marriott channels by June 4, 2025, as Sonder later disclosed liquidity risks and saw its stock plunge, postponed its shareholder meeting, and reportedly entered creditor talks.
