Dusit to share robust expansion plans to double its portfolio at ATM Dubai

Dusit International will assert its position as one of Asia’s leading hospitality groups at the upcoming Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai later this month.

Led by newly appointed Chief Operating Officer Mr Lim Boon Kwee, senior executives from Dusit’s corporate office, as well as representatives from its Middle Eastern and international properties, will be on hand throughout the event on Stand HC1030 to showcase the brand’s current products, share the latest offers and discuss the company’s ambitious expansion plans with the press and travel trade. Topics will include:

Company Growth and Development

With 29 properties in operation across four brands in four continents, the group is in a growth phase which will see the number of Dusit properties reach 70 within the next 4 to 5 years. Over 40 projects are confirmed in the pipeline, including in the GCC region, South East Asia, China, sub-Saharan Africa and more. 

Recent openings include the Dusit Thani Guam (July 2015), the tallest building on the island and the newest build on the U.S. territory since 1999. 2015 also saw the launch of the Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort, located on a secluded stretch of beautiful Klong Muang Beach on the west coast of Thailand.

Scheduled to open in July 2016 is the dusitD2 Kenz Dubai, an upscale hotel from the company’s chic and contemporary brand and the first D2 to launch in the U.A.E. Located in the TECOM district of Dubai, the hotel will offer 237 guest rooms and suites, two casual dining restaurants including one Thai “street food” concept, meeting facilities, a rooftop pool, spa and more. Introductory rates for the dusitD2 Kenz Dubai start from just AED234++ per night. 

Future confirmed projects in the region include: the Dusit Suites and Hotel Doha, which will offer Condé Nast’s Vogue Café (Q1 2017), and the dusitD2 Salwa (2018), both in Qatar; the dusitD2 Palm Mall in Muscat, Oman (2018); and the Dusit Thani Jeddah in Saudi Arabia (2018). Additional projects are under discussion in: Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Sohar and Salalah in the Sultanate of Oman; and in Makkah and Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  

In Thailand, the dusitD2 Khao Yai, a boutique hotel located just a few minutes’ drive from the UNECSO World heritage Site of Khao Yai National Park, is set to launch in June 2016 and in China, the DusitPrincess Serviced Residences, Shanghai (Q1 2017) will be the first Dusit project to open in the country’s financial capital.

Property Updates    

Since 2010, the Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo has stood as an oasis of greenery and lakes in the heart of New Cairo. This year sees the launch of the brand new Lake House The Club, located adjacent to the hotel. This exclusive club will offer its members and hotel guests an array of state-of-the-art facilities and services, featuring “The Body Temple” with its dedicated team of personal trainers, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a health bar called Energia, Dusit’s signature Devarana Spa with Thai-inspired treatments and more.

The vibrant city hotel where style, entertainment and art converge will launch the DEN event space in July 2016, perfect for cocktail receptions, art exhibitions, weddings, banquets and more, allowing the hotel to cater for an even greater segment of guests to the “green city in the sun.”
