Sonder, a leading next-generation hospitality company with more than 160 spaces in Dubai has seen strong demand for its tech-enabled offering both in the UAE and across the globe during the pandemic with an average occupancy rate of 70 percent.
Since the onset of COVID-19, the duration of stays at Sonder properties across the world has grown from an average of four days to 10. A majority of Sonder guests (80 percent) are leisure travelers, with most under the age of 50 (74 percent), a report said.
Present in 35 cities in eight countries, with more than 4,500 listings worldwide, Sonder partners with real estate owners and landlords to lease hotel and apartment buildings, and designs, manages and operates them to provide a high-quality experience for travelers around the world.
Sonder currently operates 164 units, including one-, two-, four-, and five-bedroom guest rooms, as well as six-bedroom penthouses at its JBR Suites in the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR).
The space features a shared fitness center, outdoor pool, and a quick walk downstairs to four famous restaurants as well as effortless access to sandy beaches.
Sonder’s units at JBR are owned by Al Fattan Properties LLC, a leading UAE organization that has created spectacular landmark projects over the last 40 years.
Sonder distinguishes itself in the hospitality industry through forward-thinking design and by infusing technology into its guest experience, allowing them to access everything they need –- from booking to check-out –- via their mobile, right at their fingertips.
“Since launching Dubai in late 2019, we’ve been thrilled to see interest from travelers across the world, who crave a tech-enabled, design-forward hospitality experience,” said Martin Picard, Global Head of Real Estate.
