Why this AI travel company is bringing Sonder back from the dead
TravelAI, a Canadian AI travel company, acquired the Sonder brand and website, relaunching it as an AI-curated platform for urban stays. The original Sonder filed for bankruptcy in November 2023 after Marriott International ended its partnership, leaving customers stranded. The new Sonder will partner with third-party booking sites like Expedia and Vrbo.
