Marriott terminates licensing agreement with Sonder due to default

Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) announced that its licensing agreement with Sonder Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SOND) is no longer in effect due to Sonder's default. The termination means Sonder is no longer affiliated with Marriott Bonvoy and Sonder properties are not available for new bookings on Marriott's channels.

The hotel company said it will contact guests who booked directly through Marriott channels, including marriott.com, the Marriott Bonvoy App and Marriott's reservation centers, to address their reservation and booking needs. Guests who booked through third-party online travel agencies were advised to contact those organizations directly.

Marriott stated its immediate priority is supporting guests currently staying at Sonder properties and those with upcoming reservations. The company said it remains committed to minimizing disruption to guests' travel plans.

According to the press release, Marriott operates over 9,700 properties across more than 30 brands in 143 countries and territories as of September 30, 2025. The company is based in Bethesda, Maryland.
