Chaos as Marriott-branded hotels abruptly file for bankruptcy – and guests are kicked out mid-stay

Hotel guests around the world were left “homeless” when they were evicted from their rentals with only hours of notice after Marriott-backed chain Sonder filed for bankruptcy, creating a vacation “nightmare” for thousands.

Sonder Holdings Inc. announced an “immediate wind-down of operations” on Monday after filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, initiating a liquidation of its US businesses and beginning insolvency proceedings overseas.

Marriott terminated its licensing agreement with the San Francisco-based company on Sunday, after the apartment-style accommodations purveyor defaulted on its August 2024 agreement.
