For travellers who choose their hotels as carefully as their destinations, Dusit’s latest accolades offer a compelling reason to book. In 2025, Dusit Thani Bangkok, Dusit Thani Kyoto, and Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu were each awarded a coveted Michelin Key, placing them among a select group of properties recognised for delivering truly exceptional stays.
Announced on 8 October 2025 via the Michelin Guide’s official platform, the distinction celebrates more than design or service alone. It recognises atmosphere, identity, and the subtle details that transform a hotel stay into a memorable experience. Across three distinct destinations, a dynamic capital city, a cultural sanctuary, and a tropical island escape, Dusit demonstrates how Thai-inspired gracious hospitality translates seamlessly onto the global stage.
From skyline views in Bangkok to serene courtyards in Kyoto and oceanfront sunsets in Cebu, these Michelin Key properties redefine what it means to stay well.

From thoughtfully designed rooms with sweeping city views to curated dining and wellness offerings, every element reflects a balance of modern elegance and Thai tradition.
Further strengthening its global profile, Dusit Thani Bangkok was ranked No. 60 on the inaugural extended list of The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025, placing it among the top 100 hotels worldwide. This achievement underscores the success of its transformation and reaffirms its position as a flagship of Thai hospitality on the global stage.
