The reimagined Dusit Thani Bangkok will be located in the same prime spot as the original, which stood from 1970 to 2019. The new hotel will be a centerpiece of Dusit Central Park, a landmark mixed-use development that will also include ultra-luxury residences, a state-of-the-art office tower, a high-end retail center, and a 11,200 sq m Roof Park, all set to open in 2025.
Featuring 257 elegantly designed rooms, including suites crafted by the renowned Asian interior design firm André Fu Studio, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok offers expansive spaces starting at 50 sq m. Floor-to-ceiling windows and window seating in every room provide stunning views of Lumpini Park, blending tranquility with luxury.
The hotel will also introduce a unique urban wellness concept, elevated dining experiences with renowned chefs, a multi-level rooftop bar created with award-winning mixologists, and expansive banquet and meeting facilities. The grand ballroom, one of the largest in Bangkok, boasts an eight-meter-high ceiling and panoramic views of Lumpini Park, alongside diverse meeting spaces for various events. This new standard in service, design, and guest experience will set a benchmark for Dusit Hotels and Resorts globally.
