The ‘Utopia’ That Everyone Dreams Of
SONO means ‘Dream’ or ‘Utopia’.
The background of SONO's inception is the transformation of an Italian word SOGNO (dream, or utopia) into a more easily pronounced form. SONO was initially used by the company's hotels & resorts brand, SONO FELICE (Utopian concept of enjoying a happy life) as its concept. SONO thereafter became the essential concept integrated into all of the DAEMYUNG HOTELS & RESORTS's master brands, affiliates, and subsidiaries.
SONO conveys a dream.
That dream is realized by the culmination of experiences; the moments when people feel happy. So SONO is not just a dream. It is another name for ‘A world that creates happiness’.
