Dusit International expands its Japanese portfolio with a new Dusit Thani hotel strategically located near Kyoto Station, blending Japanese and Thai design to enchant Kyoto's annual influx of travelers.
Strategically located just 850 meters from Kyoto Station, a popular tourist attraction and a major transport hub, the hotel aims to provide a seamless experience for the millions of travelers visiting Kyoto each year.
The highly anticipated Dusit Thani Kyoto follows the success of the lifestyle-oriented Asai Kyoto Shijo, Dusit International's first hotel in Japan, which opened in June. With 147 well-appointed rooms, the new hotel showcases Kyoto's rich cultural heritage and stunning architecture. Drawing inspiration from the ancient capital of Ayutthaya in Thailand, the interior design pays homage to the city's renowned chedis, creating a harmonious fusion of Japanese and Thai influences.
Step inside this elegant establishment, and guests will be greeted by a serene courtyard and a wide range of facilities designed to cater to business and leisure travelers. From a selection of enticing food and beverage outlets to versatile event spaces accommodating up to 240 guests, the hotel prioritizes guests' comfort and convenience.
Additional amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor swimming pool, and the exclusive Devarana Spa and Wellness Center, providing a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Gilles Cretallaz, COO of Dusit International, expresses his confidence in delivering impeccable service and exceptional experiences to the discerning guests at Dusit Thani Kyoto. With a unique blend of Thai and Japanese hospitality, the hotel aims to offer a one-of-a-kind rendezvous for luxury travelers seeking relaxation, cultural immersion, and fine dining opportunities.
Strategically situated near Kyoto Station, Dusit Thani Kyoto puts the city's rich cultural heritage and iconic landmarks within easy reach. Guests can explore revered sites such as the Nishi Honganji Temple or venture further to discover the tranquil bamboo groves of Arashiyama or the historic charm of the Gion district. By providing a luxurious base for immersing oneself in Kyoto's treasures, the hotel ensures that guests can truly capture the essence of this remarkable city.
The eagerly anticipated opening of Dusit Thani Kyoto promises an unforgettable experience where cultural appreciation, culinary indulgence, and ultimate relaxation converge into a total Kyoto experience.
