About Sonesta Hotel Surquillo
Sonesta Hotel was founded by real estate mogul A.M. “Sonny” Sonnabend. In 1937, he shared his savings with other investors to buy the Preston Beach Hotel in Massachusetts. This marked the beginning of the mogul’s crossover from real estate to hospitality. This switch of industry may seem too close but the inner workings are different. Still, Sonny was able to provide an unmatched service to all his guests even right at the beginning. More than 7 decades later, the Sonesta Hotel remains a successful brand now with operations all over the world. The brand is now a collection of hotels with more than 66 properties in 99 countries.
Its United States properties are in Baltimore, Boston, Miami, Hilton Head, Houston, New Orleans and Philadelphia. Its international establishments are in unique establishments like Saint Maarten, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Panama, Ecuador, and Egypt. The brand is still expanding its operations all over the world. Its focus is no longer just in the United States market given its proven success in the international markets. With the modern day managers of the brand, they are also updated with the changing trends in travel and travelers’ preferences. This attention to shifts in the clients’ behavior is part of the decades-long mission heritage of the brand which is to offer unique and personalized services.
