We stay at the new Dusit Thani Bangkok

 

Bangkok’s beloved legend has rebooted itself with flair: the new Dusit Thani Bangkok isn’t just another skyscraper hotel — it’s like the city’s classic nodding graciously to the future. After a stellar transformation and grand reopening in September 2024, Dusit has taken its rich heritage and wrapped it up in slick modern design and views that make you go “wow” every morning.

Let’s talk rooms. Every one of the 257 spaces faces Lumpini Park, which basically means your morning coffee comes with a front-row seat to Bangkok’s leafy green lung. The floor-to-ceiling windows and cantilevered window seats are the kind of feature that Instagram was invented for — seriously, those panoramas could make you forget to check out altogether. 

The design? Think Thai elegance meets contemporary cool, all stitched together by André Fu Studio — warm colours, subtle traditional motifs, and a vibe that feels luxurious without being stuffy.

Dining and lounging bring a fun mix of refined and relaxed. Breakfast at The Pavilion feels like a celebration of flavours (bring your appetite), and the rooftop bars — particularly the Spire and 1970 — serve up cocktails with views that rival any skyline in town.

Downsides? A few reviewers quibble about over-festive duvets and temperamental light switches (first-world problems, honestly).

Overall, Dusit Thani Bangkok has taken its storied past and turned it into a vibrant playground for modern travellers — warm, stylish, a bit dramatic (in the best way), and absolutely worth your bucket-list Bangkok stay.
