Dusit International, a leading hotel and property development company based in Thailand, is set to expand its footprint in the Philippines by managing two new hotels under its Dusit Princess brand in Northern Mindanao. This development comes through a partnership with IDC Prime, a subsidiary of Italpinas Development Corp, known for its sustainable property designs in emerging cities.

The two properties, Dusit Princess Moena and Dusit Princess Firenze, will showcase a harmonious blend of sustainability, innovation, and high-quality hospitality.

Dusit Princess Moena: A Sustainability-Focused Retreat

Situated in the serene mountains of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, Dusit Princess Moena will be part of the Moena Mountain Estate, a mixed-use development emphasizing eco-friendly practices. Slated to open in late 2029, this 184-key hotel will feature premium facilities such as an outdoor pool, a yoga room, a fully equipped gym, and versatile multipurpose spaces.

The location, often referred to as the "Baguio of Mindanao," already attracts nature enthusiasts with its cool climate and breathtaking scenery. By offering contemporary accommodation and comprehensive amenities, Dusit Princess Moena aims to enhance the region’s appeal, complementing local attractions like Dahilayan Adventure Park and Del Monte Pineapple plantations.

Dusit Princess Firenze: A Modern Icon in Cagayan de Oro

Further north, Dusit Princess Firenze will rise as part of IDC's Firenze Green Tower project in Cagayan de Oro’s bustling Limketkai area. This 14-storey mixed-use development will combine commercial, residential, and hospitality spaces, with Dusit managing 180 hotel rooms on the upper floors.

Designed to provide comfort and convenience, the hotel will feature a spa, gym, swimming pool, and multipurpose spaces, catering to both business and leisure travelers. Its strategic location, near Cagayan de Oro’s commercial districts, positions it as a key destination in the "Adventure Capital of the Philippines."

Commitment to Sustainable Growth

Both projects are aligned with Dusit’s and IDC Prime’s shared commitment to sustainability. Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer of Dusit International, remarked, "With IDC Prime's dedication to sustainability and innovation, we are excited to bring our distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to Mindanao, delivering meaningful experiences while creating lasting value for the community."

Arch. Romolo Nati, CEO and Chairman of IDC Prime, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing how these hotels will elevate their developments while highlighting the untapped potential of Northern Mindanao.

Dusit’s Expanding Portfolio

These projects add to Dusit International's robust portfolio, which includes over 300 properties operating across 19 countries. In the Philippines, Dusit currently operates several hotels, including Dusit Thani Manila and dusitD2 Davao, further cementing its position as a leading player in the hospitality sector.

By combining sustainable practices, architectural innovation, and gracious hospitality, Dusit Princess Moena and Dusit Princess Firenze are poised to become iconic destinations in the region, offering guests unforgettable experiences amidst the natural and urban landscapes of Northern Mindanao.
