Jennifer Hsieh, who headed Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy, said Marriott International made “a fairly quick decision” to make guests aware of Sonder’s demise so they wouldn’t abruptly lose access to their rooms. Speaking on a panel at the Phocuswright conference in San Diego on Thursday, Hsieh said Sonder was facing a severe liquidity crisis. Sonder’s properties became bookable on Marriott channels in mid-June, but on November 9, Marriott emailed guests staying at Sonder locations, instructing them to vacate by the next morning. Sonder officially shut down the following day. https://hubs.li/Q03VmMZN0
