Summer escapes: what's your scene?

Your summer. Your scene. Whatever your summer looks like, we’ve got you covered. With spaces in over 40 cities worldwide, there’s a Sonder for every vibe. Begin planning your season with a peek inside our sunny scenes. And take the quiz to find out which character you’ll play. Don’t worry — we never said you had to choose just one.

Living la dolce vita

The Good Timer is an expert in maximizing summer. And what better place to summer than Bella Italia? Where caffè e cornetto is your sweet way to start the day, and aperitivo is at any hour. Lose yourself in sunbleached piazzas, ancient architecture, and cobbled alleys in Roma. Strut your way through Milano’s design and fashion scene. Then put your feet up at Sonder Missori, in the heart of the action. Top it all off with a gondola ride along the iconic canals of Venezia.

You don’t choose the sweet life — la dolce vita chooses you.

Every. Second. Savored.

The Tastemaker knows exactly where to go for the best al fresco flavors this season — and so do we. It takes a certain skill to suss out that perfect rooftop terrace for a pitcher of sangria in Barcelona (hello, Plaça Reial). Or the ideal sidewalk spot for an afternoon pick-me-up in NYC (try out Hole in the Wall at Henri on 24). And if your search for Manhattan’s best libations takes you underground, we’ve still got you covered. Just below Sonder Flatiron, Apotheke NoMad crafts soul-reviving cocktails.

With Sonders in all the tastiest neighborhoods, finding your new favorite eatery just got easier. Check out the guides in our app (curated by locals) to get started.

Sketchbook scribbles

Sometimes your ideas notebook is the only travel companion you need. The Culture Connoisseur is on the hunt for inspiration. Why not start with the classics to find it? Modeled after the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Philadelphia’s Museum Mile is dripping with art and architecture. Soak up the culture at the Barnes Foundation or the sculpture garden of the Rodin Museum. And put those creative thoughts to paper while you kick back in a spacious apartment at Sonder Onyx.

Or find your next bright idea in the City of Light, Paris. Among the Monets at l’Orangerie. In the murals of Pigalle. Or on a stroll through the bouquinistes’ art stalls on the Seine. You can see the artistry in everything — at Sonder Atala, it’s everywhere.

Green and serene

The Bon Voyager loves to watch the scenery go by. With rail and road trips on the rise this year, slow travel means minimum rush and maximum relaxation. All while doing your bit to keep a happy planet.

Kick off your tour of the Pacific Northwest with a stay in Revival, Vancouver. Bike or hike the Seawall — 28 km of pure views from the harbor to English Bay. The world’s longest waterfront path and the perfect intro to your oceanfront adventure. Next up, all roads lead to the Emerald City, Seattle. Fresh seafood at Pike Place Market. Locally roasted coffee at Fulcrum Café. Selections of used books at Twice Sold Tales. Your fuel for the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco.

Manage your stay from check-in to checkout with the Sonder app. So you can make all the detours you like en route.

Endless summer vacation

Fun first, work later. The Blissness Traveler knows how to make the most of their time offline (and online). Spend a glorious week lounging by the pool at The Beacon in Santa Monica. Or strolling the seafront Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Returning to work doesn’t mean you have to return home. Take a conference call on a cafe terrace. Lead your team meeting by the beach. Bring the laptop poolside and add some bliss to business.

If you can’t take time off during the summer months, extend your sunshine season with a work-and-play stay in Mexico City or Dubai. Because the trip doesn’t have to end when you clock back in.
