Thani Bangkok, the flagship hotel of Dusit International, one of Thailand’s
leading hotel and property development companies, has made its highly anticipated return after a
stunning transformation as part of the upcoming Dusit Central Park project
opposite Lumpini Park in the heart of the city.
The
opening, held on 27 September 2024, was marked by a special ceremony featuring Mr
Chanin Donavanik, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the
Executive Committee, Dusit International, who had the honour of being the first
guest to check in. This gesture pays
tribute to his mother’s enduring legacy in launching the original hotel in
1970.
Guests
from across the globe travelled to be among the first to experience the hotel’s
exquisitely designed Suites and Club Rooms, where expansive, cantilevered
picture frame windows capture breathtaking, uninterrupted views of Lumpini
Park, providing an unmatched accommodation experience in the city.
The
newly transformed hotel also unveiled its expansive meeting and events space, which
in keeping with the grandeur of its predecessor, boasts one of the largest
ballrooms in Bangkok. The Napalai Grand Ballroom, with its soaring
eight-metre-high ceiling and full-width, 55-metre-wide panoramic window, frames
picturesque park and cityscape views, creating a dramatic backdrop for any
event.
The
hotel’s dining venues are equally captivating, each with its own signature
touch. The initial offerings include The Pavilion, where guests can savour
Thai, Chinese, and international delicacies, and Dusit Gourmet, which offers
artisanal bites and international favourites from an open kitchen. Soon, guests
will be able to enjoy four more dining concepts, including collaborations with
world-class chefs and a chic, multi-level rooftop bar situated alongside the
hotel’s iconic spire.
Also
launching soon is Devarana Wellness, a unique urban wellness sanctuary concept
designed to provide tailored wellness experiences for guests, visitors, and
locals, ensuring that every stay is an opportunity for rejuvenation.
“Just
as my mother envisioned the original Dusit Thani Bangkok as a beacon of Thai
hospitality on the world stage, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok aims to elevate
that legacy,” said Mr Donavanik. “This opening marks not only a new chapter for
Dusit but also a new era for Thai hospitality. We are excited to welcome our
guests to experience this extraordinary transformation, where heritage and
tradition seamlessly blend with innovation to establish a new benchmark for
luxury accommodation in Bangkok.”
The
new Dusit Thani Bangkok is the centrepiece of Dusit Central Park, a landmark
THB 46 billion mixed-use development also comprising ultra-luxury residences
(Dusit Residences and Dusit Parkside), a state-of-the-art office tower, a
high-end retail centre, and an 11,200 sq m Roof Park. These additional
components are expected to open gradually in 2025.
Special
opening offers with exclusive privileges, including a complimentary airport
limousine service in a Porsche Panamera Executive – the first of its kind in
Thailand – are now available for booking at dusit.com/bangkok.
