One year after its grand reopening, Dusit Thani Bangkok, the reimagined flagship of Dusit Hotels and Resorts, has been awarded a prestigious Michelin Key, recognising its excellence in delivering exceptional stays and world-class hospitality.

The accolade, announced on 8 October 2025 on the official Michelin Guide website, places Dusit Thani Bangkok among the most distinguished hotels in Thailand. It celebrates the brand’s continued commitment to refined design, service excellence, and Thai-inspired graciousness that has made Dusit a global name in hospitality.

A Legacy Reimagined in the Heart of Bangkok

First opened in 1970, the original Dusit Thani Bangkok was one of Thailand’s earliest luxury hotels and a beloved city landmark, admired for its distinctive architecture and warm service. After a five-year transformation as part of the Dusit Central Park development near Lumpini Park, the new property reopened in 2024, blending the charm of its heritage with contemporary design and innovative experiences.

Global Recognition for Dusit Thani Kyoto

Located in Kyoto’s Hongwanji Monzen-machi district, just minutes from Kyoto Station, Dusit Thani Kyoto blends Thai-inspired graciousness with Japan’s tradition of omotenashi (wholehearted guest care). Its architecture harmonises Kyoto’s calm aesthetic with subtle Thai touches — from chedi-inspired motifs to a serene natural palette. The hotel’s 147 rooms balance elegance with comfort, reflecting the same meticulous design philosophy that defines the brand.Dusit Hotels and Resorts: A Global Standard for Thai Hospitality
