Dusit Thani Bangkok


Ultimate Luxury 5 Star Dusit Thani Hotel, Thailand

A millennia in the makingIn the early 1900’s King Rama VI of Thailand envisioned a wondrous utopian kingdom that was the personification of a culture that had been a millennia in the making.

He called it Dusit Thani, a ‘town in heaven’.

For over 30 years it has been our inspiration for the experience we aim to create for our guests at every moment of every day.

For over 36 years, the famed Dusit Thani Hotel has been a 'social and business' landmark in Bangkok. Its international standards delivered with distinctive Thai artistry and graciousness personify the earthly manifestation of its name which means in Thai, a town in heaven.
Ideally located in the heart of the 'City of Angels', it sits opposite Lumpini Park with its broad boulevards and expanse of lakes. The hotel is adjacent to both the sky train and subway systems within easy proximity to major business, shopping and entertainment centres.

Dusit Thani's 517 rooms and executive suites are sumptuously appointed with distinctive Thai inspirations and well-designed facilities. The Dusit Grand Rooms offer 60 square meters with a separate bedroom, living area and larger bathroom, the 'Thai Heritage Suites' are each inspired by the characters and touches of ancient Thai cities.


Complementing the excellent accommodation is an unrivalled choice of eight signature dining experiences, whilst the Devarana Spa and DFiT offer state-of-perfection facilities ready to help you wind down or wind up.
