Sonder Holdings has expanded its presence in Europe and has added five new properties to its EMEA portfolio. The new properties are located in France, Italy and Spain.
These properties join Sonder’s existing 54-hotel portfolio across the EMEA region.
Sonder is keen on exploring more growth opportunities in EMEA, including hotel and aparthotel takeovers, office conversions and ground-up developments, said Lia Prendergast, managing director of real estate – EMEA, Sonder.
“Sonder partners with property owners to lease, manage and operate a variety of asset types in prime locations. As an experienced global operator of hotels, resorts, and serviced apartment properties, ranging in size from boutique to 350+ key, we drive value for owners with our efficient operating model, unique revenue management and marketing capabilities, and brand, which is loved by the next generation of travelers,” Prendergast said.
These five newly added properties comprise both new and renovated historic buildings across key leisure and business destinations in the region, Sonder said.
