A Legacy Reimagined
Originally opened in 1970 as one of Thailand’s first luxury hotels, Dusit Thani Bangkok became a symbol of modern Thai hospitality and a beloved city landmark. Following a five-year transformation under the Dusit Central Park mixed-use development, the hotel reopened in September 2024, redefining the essence of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality for a new generation of travelers.
Honoring the rich legacy of the original property, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok seamlessly weaves heritage into contemporary design. The hotel’s iconic spire, now encased within a gleaming new crown overlooking Lumpini Park, stands as a beacon of continuity. Ornate decorative pillars, frangipani trees planted by Dusit’s founder, and cherished artworks from the original hotel have been lovingly restored, preserving the spirit of a Thai icon while embracing a new era of design excellence.

A New Standard of Refined Living
Inside, interiors crafted by internationally acclaimed designer André Fu reinterpret the hotel’s storied past with modern sophistication. Spacious guest rooms and suites offer panoramic views of Lumpini Park, while curated dining concepts and the signature Devarana Wellness center reflect Dusit’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, culture, and care.

A Milestone of Global Prestige
“To be named among the world’s 100 best hotels just one year after reopening is an incredible milestone that reaffirms our commitment to excellence, innovation, and authenticity,” shared Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer of Dusit International. “This achievement celebrates not only the extraordinary work of our team at Dusit Thani Bangkok but also the collective ambition driving every Dusit property worldwide to deliver experiences that are deeply rooted in local culture, elevated by design, and brought to life with heartfelt service.”
Dusit Thani Bangkok was officially recognized alongside other distinguished properties at The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025 ceremony held at London’s Old Billingsgate on 30 October 2025.
