Dusit Thani Group continues to emphasize its commitment to excellence with world-class standards, as two flagship hotels, Dusit Thani Bangkok and Dusit Thani Kyoto, have been awarded the "Michelin Key." Dusit Thani Bangkok, which just opened on September 27, 2023, has received this award in its first year, while Dusit Thani Kyoto has been recognized for the second consecutive year. This reflects the ongoing success of Dusit Thani, a Thai brand recognized internationally.

Mr. Jill Kretaletch, Chief Operating Officer of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited (DUSIT), stated that the "Michelin Key" award, officially announced on the Michelin Guide website on October 8, 2023, serves as a global quality certification awarded to hotels that provide exceptional accommodation and service experiences. The awards received by both hotels reflect the dedication, creativity, and commitment of the team to elevate Thai hospitality to a new international standard.

“The fact that Dusit Thani Bangkok has won the Michelin Key award along with numerous other global accolades in its first year of reopening is an impressive achievement. At the same time, Dusit Thani Kyoto has been recognized for the second consecutive year, reflecting the strength of the Dusit brand and the team's commitment to delivering high-quality Thai service on the international stage,” the Chief Operating Officer of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited remarked.

Dusit Thani Bangkok first opened its doors in 1970 as one of Thailand's first luxury hotels and has become a significant landmark in the city, known for its outstanding architecture and warm, hospitable service. After over five years of continuous development and renovation, the newly revamped Dusit Thani Bangkok reopened on September 27, 2023, under the landmark mixed-use project “Dusit Central Park,” located opposite Lumphini Park in the heart of Bangkok. The hotel has been elegantly redesigned to blend classic elements with contemporary style, offering premium health services, cutting-edge dining experiences, and exceptional international service. Each guest room is designed to connect with nature through views of Lumphini Park, creating a serene atmosphere amidst the vibrant city.

The "Michelin Key" award is yet another global achievement for Dusit Thani Bangkok in its first year of reopening, reflecting its excellence in design and service. Additionally, the hotel has been recognized by various international platforms with numerous other awards, including:

Meanwhile, Dusit Thani Kyoto, which opened in September 2023 in the heart of Kyoto, Japan, continues to build its international reputation by receiving the "Michelin Key" for the second consecutive year, reflecting the brand's excellence in design, innovation, and service.

Recently, the hotel was also awarded a four-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide’s 2025 Star Awards, one of the most prestigious and internationally recognized awards, confirming the seamless integration of Thai service standards with Japanese culture.

This hotel is located in the tranquil Hongwanji Monzenmachi area of Kyoto, just 850 meters from Kyoto Station, distinguished by its blend of exquisite Thai service with the Japanese concept of omotenashi, which emphasizes genuine care for guests. The hotel’s design reflects Kyoto's rich cultural heritage, combined with Thai-inspired details such as patterns inspired by the pagodas of Ayutthaya, along with simple lines, natural materials, and calming color tones that are characteristic of Kyoto. This meticulous attention to detail is also reflected in the 147 guest rooms, which are elegantly decorated to provide a balance between timeless elegance and contemporary comfort.
