Reflecting strong demand for this offering, we anticipate signing eight additional Dusit Hotels within the next two years, in key gateway destinations, both cities and resorts. For developers seeking a refined, versatile, and future-ready concept with proven performance and global support, Dusit Hotels presents a compelling opportunity.” Raising the bar for experiential hospitality Dusit Hotels was created in response to the growing demand from hotel owners and developers for distinctive properties that combine international standards with a strong sense of local identity. This new brand is positioned to deliver memorable guest experiences rooted in the unique cultural and physical context of each destination, all of which are characterised by Dusit’s signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality.

Dusit Hotels and Resorts to open Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi

Thai hospitality company Dusit Hotels and Resorts announced that its newest property in Vietnam is slated to open on  9th May. Located in the heart of the Vietnamese capital, the Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi is a refined urban sanctuary that also serves as Dusit’s debut in Hanoi. The opening of the Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi comes in the wake of the successful opening of the Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort Phu Quoc. That said, the new property brings Dusit's signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to the tranquil shores of West Lake, offering an elegant blend of modern luxury and timeless Vietnamese charm. Dusit International chief operating officer Gilles Cretallaz said of the property: “We are honoured to expand our presence in Vietnam and bring Dusit's distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to Hanoi for the very first time. Inspired by the remarkable legacy of Princess Từ Hoa, Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi is much more than a new hotel: it is a celebration of cultural heritage, artistic spirit, and heartfelt service. By seamlessly blending the elegance of Vietnamese tradition with the warmth of Thai hospitality, we aim to create enriching experiences that resonate deeply with our guests and foster meaningful connections with the local community.” Regal inspirations Inspired by the legacy of Princess Từ Hoa, a royal figure celebrated for her pioneering contributions to the silk industry in the Nghi Tàm area near West Lake, the hotel captures the spirit of craftsmanship, community, and cultural pride that defines the neighbourhood. A daughter of Emperor Lý Thần Tông, who reigned from 1128 to 1138, Princess Từ Hoa famously left the royal court to cultivate mulberry trees and teach silk weaving to the local people.  Her legacy lives on in the area's continued association with quality craftsmanship; and now, in the design and spirit of Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi, where traditional elegance is thoughtfully reimagined for the modern era. A elegant urban hideaway Boasting 207 beautifully appointed rooms and suites with panoramic views of the lake or city skyline, the hotel has been designed as a serene retreat for business and leisure travellers alike.  Each space combines contemporary comfort with subtle Vietnamese detailing, all enhanced by the intuitive service and warm hospitality for which Dusit is known. Guests can enjoy a curated collection of dining experiences celebrating both local and international flavours.  Soi Restaurant showcases bold and authentic Thai cuisine, while Vinci Italian Restaurant and Rooftop Bar offers refined Italian fare alongside sweeping views of the city. Phở Lụa presents a cosy al fresco setting dedicated to Vietnam's beloved noodle soup, and Dusit Gourmet provides an inviting space for artisanal pastries, afternoon tea, and freshly brewed coffee. The hotel also features four private dining rooms designed for exclusive gatherings and VIP occasions. Alongside a fully equipped gym and spaces for wellness activities, the hotel also offers three elegant ballrooms and a rooftop event space with spectacular views over West Lake, making it ideal for weddings, corporate functions, and social celebrations.
