Fourteen hotels and resorts are set to be added to Dusit’s portfolio this year across China, Greece, India, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, and Thailand.

Dusit Hotels and Resorts under Dusit International has announced its expansion plans for 2023, including debuting its unique brand of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality in Japan and Europe – and further expanding its global footprint in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, and Thailand.

In Japan, Dusit is set to open two new hotels in the ancient capital of Kyoto – ASAI Kyoto Shijo and Dusit Thani Kyoto – in Q2 and Q3, respectively. Each has been carefully crafted to establish a strong foundation for further expansion in Japan.

Another owned property, ASAI Bangkok Sathorn, is scheduled to open in Q2.

Dusit’s global expansion will also be driven by hotels opening under management agreements. This includes Dusit’s first entry into Europe with the arrival of Dusit Suites Athens, an exclusive boutique property slated to open in Greece in Q1.

Another exciting destination where Dusit is set to debut is Nepal, where the company will open Dusit Princess Kathmandu and Dusit Thani Himalayan Resort Dhulikhel
in Q2.

This year will also mark the return of Dusit Hotels and Resorts in India and Kenya, with the opening of Dusit Princess Serviced Suites Kolkata (Q4), dusitD2 Fagu, Shimla (Q4), and Dusit Princess Residences Nairobi (Q1).

In China, where Dusit already operates 11 hotels, three wellness-oriented properties are set to open, including Dusit Thani Mogan Mountain, Huzhou (Q1), Dusit Devarana Hangzhou (Q3), and Dusit Princess Suites Hotel Ganzhou (Q3).

In Thailand, alongside the aforementioned ASAI Bangkok Sathorn, Dusit will welcome its first dusitD2-branded property in Bangkok, dusitD2 Samyan Bangkok (Q2), and also expand further south with Dusit Princess Patthalung (Q4), raising its tally of domestic properties to 18.

Dusit also established dusitD2 Khao Yai hotel, opening a luxurious safari-themed all-villa extension, ASILI Village, in Q2.

In total, 14 hotels and resorts are set to be added to Dusit’s global portfolio this year, resulting in 62 hotels operating across 17 countries worldwide. More than 60 properties are in the pipeline and expected to open within the next three-to-four years.

"At Dusit Hotels and Resorts, we understand that quality is the key to sustainable success and the long-term growth of our business,” said Mr Gilles Cretallaz, COO, Dusit International.

“As travel continues to rebound, we remain steadfast in our commitment to quality over quantity and delivering exceptional experiences in the world’s finest destinations."
