Sonesta’s New Prototype Redefines Extended-Stay Living

SONESTA INTERNATIONAL HOTELS Corp. introduced a new Sonesta Simply Suites prototype for modern extended stays, offering two layouts: a 4-story, 122-key and 3-story, 89-key. The suites feature in-suite kitchens, workspaces and storage.

The brand’s public areas feature a grab-and-go market, fitness center and outdoor spaces, while its back-of-house layout boosts efficiency, streamlining staffing while reducing costs, Sonesta said in a statement.


Sonesta Simply Suites continues to evolve to meet the needs of extended-stay guests, and our new prototype reflects that commitment,” said Bridget Rooks, Sonesta’s vice president of architecture, design and construction. “With a thoughtful design that maximizes space, enhances functionality, and prioritizes guest comfort, this prototype is a game-changer for developers and travelers alike.”

Brian Quinn, Sonesta’s chief development officer, said the new prototype ensures long-term success with a cost-effective, scalable design for developers and an exceptional guest experience.

“This launch reinforces our commitment to grow our extended-stay segment with a product that offers a cost-effective, adaptable solution for developers and ensures a best-in-class stay for guests,” Quinn said.

Sonesta added 37 franchised hotels in the second half of 2024, nearly doubling first-half openings and expanding in the U.S. and internationally.
