After nearly five years in business in Old Town, an apartment hotel is poised to change hands.
San Francisco-based Kasa Living, Inc. filed paperwork with the city last month to take over ownership of the Sonder, a Marriott Bonvoy 15-room apartment hotel at 805 King Street.
The studio and one-bedroom apartments cost upward of $200 per night. The facility is light on staff, with one maintenance worker on-site to handle requests from guests, who check in and out and submit requests via their phones.
The special use permit application (SUP) request did not announce any major changes to operations, aside from the branding.
According to the SUP:
The existing use on the property is currently for a 15 room apartment hotel. Kasa Living, Inc. is proposing to take over operations of the use from its current operator. There are no proposed changes to the structure or the existing use. The number of patrons and employees will be consistent with current operations. Assistance for guests is available through an “on-call” 24-hour system. One employee with cleaning responsibilities in on-site at all times and available to assist guests. No changes are proposed to the previously approved conditions.
The last day for public comments on the SUP was April 10.
