After reopening for just over a year, Dusit Thani Bangkok has made a remarkable impact as a Thai brand hotel, continuously winning global awards. Recently, it ranked 60th among the 100 best hotels in the world according to The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025. Previously, it also received the "Michelin Key" for the first time. Chanin Thonvannit shared insights into the bold decision to transform the original Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel and the five years spent creating the new hotel, which has achieved great success as a leader in Thai hospitality on the global stage.

Mr. Chanin Thonvannit, Acting Chairman and CEO of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited (DUSIT), revealed that after the Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel officially reopened for the first time on September 27, 2023, within just over a year, it has managed to win the Michelin Key from the Michelin Guide for the first time. Most recently, Dusit Thani Bangkok was honored to be ranked 60th on the list of the 100 best hotels in the world by The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025, which was officially announced for the first time this year.

The ranking of the world's best hotels by The World’s 50 Best Hotels Academy consists of over 800 independent experts from around the globe, including professional travelers, travel writers, and leaders in the hospitality industry, reflecting the excellence, diversity, and dedication of the teams behind each hotel worldwide. This is considered one of the most internationally recognized awards in the service industry.

“International and global awards are a source of pride for everyone at Dusit Thani and reaffirm our correct decision on that day to take a bold step by closing the original Dusit Thani Bangkok and spending over five years on a significant investment to create the new Dusit Thani Bangkok, which is part of the landmark mixed-use project 'Dusit Central Park' in the heart of Bangkok. This comeback not only transforms the legend of Thai hospitality into a contemporary experience but also elevates the luxury experience to connect with wellness and sustainability concepts in every dimension. We are committed to harmoniously integrating 'Thai identity' with 'contemporary service innovation' to reinforce the role of the 'Dusit Thani' brand as a Thai brand on the global stage, representing warmth, beauty, and pride in the Thai service industry, as envisioned by the founder, Khunying Chanat Piyawut,”Mr. Chanin stated.

The new Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel perfectly blends the elegance of traditional Thai architecture with contemporary design. Each guest room is designed to offer views of the lush Lumphini Park through expansive five-meter-wide windows, along with comprehensive wellness services that include an infinity pool, gym, and Devarana Wellness, providing an elevated relaxation experience with treatments, spa services, and personalized health programs. Additionally, this hotel features a complete range of premium dining experiences, including the Italian restaurant Canubie, Pavilion restaurant, Dusit Gourmet Café, rooftop bar The Spire, 1970 Bar, and Grand Lobby Lounge, all reflecting the art of Thai hospitality in a contemporary atmosphere with international service standards.

The Acting Chairman and CEO of Dusit Thani Group also stated that another source of pride for Dusit Thani Group is the positive response to Dusit Arune Park at Dusit Central Park, a 7-rai rooftop garden in the 'Dusit Central Park' project, which reflects the group's intention to provide a green space for the public to experience nature in the heart of Bangkok. This not only signifies its importance as a key landmark but also demonstrates Dusit Thani Group's commitment to giving back to society and creating sustainability through the Dusit Arune Park project.

“All of this embodies the spirit of Dusit Thani and the Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel. Although the exterior has changed, the heart of warm Thai hospitality that has been passed down since 1970, when we first opened, remains the same. We are ready to further develop our services in line with the changing world, the times, and the needs of all age groups to meet customer demands and create memorable experiences worthy of being honored as one of the best hotels in the world,”Mr. Chanin concluded.
