History
editHotel Sogo was established by two individuals in 1992. One was a hotel professional who was involved in the hotel industry for 20 years and the other was a commercial developer and a contractor with an "AAA" license. The word "Sogo" was included as part of the hotel's chain name which mean "harmony" and adopted a Japanese theme.[3][4] In the Philippines, the hotel brand brought many innovation to the hospitality industry by introducing free wifi, giving skateboards to the floor personnel, and launching a 24/7 call center.[4]
In 2016, Hotel Sogo launched the hoverboard-based service. The waiters of the hotel chain are using the self-balancing two-wheel electrical motorized boards, locally known as hoverboard for F&B drive-in services.[5] In February 2019, Hotel Sogo launched a new, simpler design throughout its branded locations.[4]
