Boycott Sondland's hotels. Problem is which ones does he own?
I found some:

(34,069 posts)Depending on the day/location, the ones I checked had rooms for under $100 midweek, with an average rage in the 130-160 range.
They're not Extended Stay America, but they aren't the top prices in the market either.

(3,047 posts)Vancouver is too working class for him. We do have a Hilton in Vancouver so save half on the room rate and drive 30mins in soul crushing traffic.
Cannot wait to see him love tRumps ass on Wednesday.

(4,919 posts)He's certainly not looking to Trump to keep his fortune... He's going to save his ass and try to redeem himself by throwing Trump under the bus. That's my prediction.
Previous reporting has indicated he's already taking a lot of heat from his wife about how this whole thing is affecting their reputations.

Donald Trump, Gordon Sondland

By Jeff Manning | The Oregonian/OregonLive
The Constitutional crisis brewing in Washington, D.C., may cost Gordon Sondland.
Congressman Earl Blumenauer on Wednesday called for a boycott of the hotels owned by the businessman-turned diplomat. He did so after Sondland declined to testify before the House Intelligence Committee as part of the Trump impeachment proceedings.

There must be both a carrot and a stick. If he hides the truth and protects Trump, then by all means boycott!
But we need to give him an incentive to tell the truth. If he's forthcoming, then there should be no boycott.

(23,313 posts)Its my favorite place stay when headed to Portland or Vancouver for a concert. Not too pricey at all. The restaurant is amazing and you cant get a seat in there without a reservation even if youre a guest at the hotel. Guess it was my favorite place to stay...dang it.

(2,533 posts)And I came across a description of his wife as a Democrat.
The poor little rich kid had dreams of being a bigger ass than he already was. He hit the jackpot this time.
He has a serious choice now. He used to do philanthropy to cover his love of Ayn Rand-if you call re-locating the homeless as a philanthropic cause.
He was a society hoity toit and now he faces serious jail time.
Cover the malignant tumor that is Trump or beg for mercy. Those are his choices.
I hope the dude is part canary.

(12,022 posts)He liked the "aura" of being an international diplomat. He paid $1 million dollars for the privilege. Now he could lose it all.

(12,022 posts)And then he changed his mind and donated $1 million. He seems to be primarily an opportunist.

(22,756 posts)I believe the reason he changed his tune is because his wife feared losing money by boycott??
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/eu-ambassador-gordon-sondland-faces-pressure-from-his-wife-to-turn-on-trump/
One local company in Portland, Oregon, where the couple lives, has already cut ties with Provenance Hotels over Sondlands role in the foreign scandal, and Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer has called for a boycott until the ambassador cooperates fully in the impeachment inquiry.

(58,648 posts)People in Portland OR have already protested his properties, I think.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)He has destroyed his brand. His best option is to sell the hotels while they are still valuable.
I read some in this thread claiming that we can't afford his hotels. What bullshit. Anyone who has booked multiple nights at a NYC, Boston, LA or San Fran top hotel can afford his shit. It is the MAGATS who would be stretched, they can send Trump $50 that they can't afford, but they are not going to fork over hundreds of dollars per night for a hotel room.
A boycott will hurt his ass badly. His wife appears to be the smart one of the two, she likely realizes that it's time to sell their chain of hotels before their value plunge.
