This September, Dusit International will continue its growth in Japan with the opening of Dusit Thani Kyoto, a brand-new luxury hotel in the city’s thriving Hanganji Monzen-machi neighbourhood, just 850 metres from Kyoto Station, a major transportation hub that provides easy access to all of Kyoto and the rest of Japan.
The lifestyle-focused ASAI Kyoto Shijo, Dusit’s first hotel in the nation, which opened in June, laid the groundwork for Dusit Thani Kyoto, which has been carefully designed to provide distinctive and remarkable stay experiences for affluent travellers seeking authenticity, exclusivity, and enrichment in the utmost comfort and convenience.
The hotel, which is quietly situated in a residential neighbourhood, was especially created to honour Kyoto’s rich cultural legacy and magnificent architecture. Inside, the continuous design orientation is continued with subtle cues to the majestic chedis that the city is famous for, as well as references to Ayutthaya, Thailand, another historic capital. The 147 painstakingly decorated guest rooms are further influenced by this extraordinary blending of cultures, resulting in a beautifully balanced fusion of traditional elegance and modern appeal.
The hotel, which is built around a tranquil courtyard, provides a variety of business and leisure amenities, such as chic event rooms that can accommodate up to 240 guests, a fully furnished fitness facility, an indoor pool, and the hotel’s unique Devarana Wellness centre. Visitors can find a particular combination of traditional Japanese rituals and ancient Thai massage therapies here, as well as individualised wellness treatments and custom well-being trips designed to help people unwind, detoxify, and get deep restorative sleep.
With a variety of tempting options, such as a speciality Teppanyaki restaurant, an opulent tea shop, a stylish basement bar, Den Kyoto, and extraordinary dining experiences created by renowned Thai chefs Duangporn”Bo” Songvisava and Dylan Jones, dining and drinking at Dusit Thani Kyoto also promises to be an exceptional experience.
Bo and Dylan are renowned for their dedication to creating genuine Thai cuisine using seasonal and ecological ingredients. At their earlier Bangkok restaurant, Bo.Ian, they received international recognition, including a Michelin Star. Ayatana, their newest culinary concept, is located at the Dusit Thani Kyoto and offers a singular, multi-sensory fine dining experience where the greatest Japanese traditions meet the most authentic flavours of Thai cuisine to create wonderful moments to relish. The couple also founded Kati, a unique dessert atelier that gives a modern twist on classic Thai desserts, to go along with this unique gastronomic adventure.
The Dusit crew is available to assist in planning unforgettable trips to local sights like Nishi Honganji and Tojitemples (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites), as well as other well-known locations and undiscovered jewels throughout the city, in order to let visitors connect with the culture and spirituality of Kyoto. Travellers may take full most of their time and easily see all that this magnificent place has to offer thanks to quick and effective transport from Kyoto Station.
“Dusit Thani Kyoto is primed to be a haven for luxury travellers seeking a harmonious blend of cultural appreciation, culinary indulgence, and ultimate relaxation,” said Mr. Gilles Cretallaz, COO, Dusit International. “With our commitment to impeccable service, exceptional wellness and dining experiences, and unique fusion of Thai and Japanese hospitality, Dusit Thani Kyoto is primed to be a haven for luxury travellers.” “Our guests can easily navigate and discover Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage, recognisable landmarks, and hidden gems thanks to our excellent location close to Kyoto Station,” says the hotel. We are delighted to offer a luxurious base for a memorable exploration of Kyoto’s treasures, ensuring guests can make the most of their visit and enjoy a full Kyoto experience. Whether it be visiting the revered Nishi Honganji Temple or travelling further to explore the serene bamboo groves of Arashiyama or the historic charm of the Gion district.
