Building sustainably on the value of our past

Drawing on more than 70 years of experience in the hotel and hospitality industry, Dusit can trace its origins back to 1949, when Founder and Honorary Chairperson Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui opened her first hotel, the Princess, on Bangkok’s Charoenkrung Road.

The pioneering property was one of the first hotels in the city to offer a swimming pool, air conditioning, and modern amenities. It was also the first property to reflect Thanpuying Chanut’s vision to deliver international standards of service blended with time-honoured Thai customs and traditions.

Our Identity

The guiding philosophy was thus: to be bold and do great things, to create things that never existed before, to pursue perfection, and to always conduct business with honour.
