Rebuilt from the ground up, the outstanding new property pays homage to the original hotel's rich heritage while setting new benchmarks for service and design that will ripple through Dusit Hotels and Resorts worldwide. Breathtaking Lumpini Park  views from every guest room are just one of the highlights.

Dusit International, one of Thailand's leading hotel and property development companies, has confirmed that its reimagined flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel will officially open to guests on 27 September 2024, signalling an exciting new chapter for the company in Thailand and internationally.

Completely rebuilt from the ground up as part of the Dusit Central Park mixed-use development, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok pays homage to its 50-year legacy while setting a new standard for luxury hospitality. Designed with discerning travellers in mind, the hotel promises to make history once again, establishing groundbreaking benchmarks in service and design.

Rising on the same prestigious site as its predecessor, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok boasts a unique distinction: all 257 of its luxurious guest rooms boast breathtaking, uninterrupted views of Lumpini Park. Elegant, cantilevered window seats extend from each guest room, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the stunning panorama.

The hotel's considerate approach to redevelopment was recently unveiled at an exclusive media event in Bangkok. Ms Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO of Dusit International, emphasised the company's commitment to merging contemporary trends with the timeless spirit of the original Dusit Thani Bangkok, which was the city's tallest, grandest building when it first opened in 1970.

Ms Natapa Sriyuksiri, Managing Director - Dusit Estate and Group Creative Strategy, Dusit International, said that the main challenge in designing the new Dusit Thani Bangkok was capturing the essence of the original hotel's warmth and character while ensuring a fresh, modern aesthetic.

Envisaged by Architects 49 International Limited and OMA Asia Hong Kong Limited, a division of the esteemed Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), renowned for its groundbreaking contributions to architecture and urban planning, the new hotel's architecture pays homage to the unique style of its predecessor. Its elegant interiors, exquisitely crafted by internationally acclaimed Asian interior design firm, André Fu Studio, seamlessly blend the original hotel's rich heritage with contemporary Thai aesthetics, incorporating warm colour tones and subtle traditional motifs for a modern interpretation of classic Thai artistry and craftsmanship.

Further honouring the hotel's storied past, a signature 'Heritage Floor' designed by Thai interior design firm P49 Deesign & Associates Co. Ltd captures the spirit of the original property. This floor is adorned with exclusive artworks by local artists, each inspired by the hotel's legacy.

The reimagined Dusit Thani Bangkok goes beyond design to celebrate its heritage. The original hotel's iconic golden spire, a beloved landmark, has returned and is now contained within a new, three-times-larger spire. Guests can also admire paintings and murals from the original hotel's Benjarong Thai Restaurant, including the restaurant's meticulously preserved main pillars, which were carefully removed and reinstalled in the new hotel's main lobby. The intricate carved teak ceiling from the same restaurant has also been meticulously reassembled and given a new life within the new hotel.

The four key pillars of Dusit Graciousness - Service (personalised and gracious), Locality (uniquely linking guests to the local community), Well-being (delivering wellness experiences beyond the spa); and Sustainability (social, economic, and environmental) - that inspire the guest experience at Dusit Hotels and Resorts worldwide also influenced the new hotel's design.

To complete this luxurious sanctuary, the new hotel features just 257 guest rooms - a thoughtful reduction from its predecessor's 517, prioritising spaciousness. These exquisite rooms, starting at an impressive 50 square metres, were designed by the aforementioned André Fu Studio to seamlessly blend traditional elegance with modern luxury while uniquely framing the expansive park views beyond.

In addition to the luxurious rooms, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok boasts a unique urban wellness concept delivering well-being experiences beyond the spa, and ten restaurants and bars, including new venues created in collaboration with renowned chefs and mixologists. For business travellers and event planners, the hotel boasts over 5,000 square metres of dedicated meeting and event space. The centrepiece is one of Bangkok's largest grand ballrooms, featuring a dramatic eight-metre ceiling and a panoramic view of Lumpini Park. Additional meeting spaces cater to both intimate gatherings and large-scale events.

Additional elements of Dusit Central Park, including 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, are all slated to open in 2025.
