Dusit Thani Bangkok Review – Where Thai Heritage Meets Modern Luxury Near Lumpini Park
Tim Kroeger reviews Dusit Thani Bangkok, highlighting its blend of Thai heritage and modern luxury, elegant rooms, dining, spa, and its prime location near Lumpini Park.
Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok is a luxury 5-star hotel in the heart of Thailand’s capital. It opened in 1970 and has 517 rooms and suites.
My first impression of the hotel was very positive. It is decorated with many colorful flowers and pretty nice water elements. The staff is friendly and attentive.
The check-in was easy and fast. I received all the relevant information and was accompanied to my room.
Location
Dusit Thani is located on Silom Road, in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping centers and night markets.
Sala Daeng BTS Skytrain station is next to the hotel, making it easy to travel to any place without getting stuck in traffic.
Lumpini Park, one of Bangkok’s largest parks, is just across the street.
Room Experience
I stayed in the “Dusit Room.” It is 60 square meters and has a separate bedroom, living area, and large bathroom.
The room is fully equipped with everything you might need: A/C, two flat screens with cable TV, telephones, hairdryer, mini bar, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, a desk, and a huge range of utensils.
I felt very comfortable staying in this room. It is designed with a passion for details and beautiful orchid flowers.
The Breakfast
The breakfast buffet offers a wide range of food. I was pleased about the good-tasting bread that is so difficult to find in Asia.
Thereto, there is a choice of ham and cheese. You can order freshly made eggs in all varieties: fried egg, omelet, scrambled egg, etc.
Moreover, there is a Japanese selection, sweet pastries, Asian style breakfast, and a choice of fruit juices. All in all, the breakfast buffet caters to all tastes.
Bars and Restaurants
Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok has seven restaurants with a wide range of Asian food, a steakhouse, and an international restaurant. I especially liked the 22 Kitchen & Bar located on the 22nd floor. You have a breathtaking view of Lumpini Park and the cityscape.
The chef is from Hawaii and prepares Pacific coastal cuisine and meat dishes. There is also a nice bar if you only want to enjoy the view with a drink.
“Devarana” comes from Thai Sanskrit and means “garden in heaven.” You feel like you are entering heaven’s gate when you enter the Spa area.
The Spa is decorated with silver & gold and natural stones & gems. Beautiful lotus blossoms, orchids, and water elements create an oasis with a calm atmosphere.
You can choose from various massages, facial and body treatments, water treatments, and beauty treatments.
What I loved
- The central location and good connection to public transportation.
- The friendly and very attentive staff.
- The design and furnishing of the hotel.
- The breakfast buffet.
- The well-equipped gym.
- The Spa area makes you feel like you are in heaven.
- The waterfall with giant plants. It is my favorite place in the hotel, with a relaxed and calm atmosphere.
- The bar & restaurant on the 22nd floor from where you have a breathtaking view of Lumpini Park and the cityscape.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a centrally located hotel in Thailand’s capital city, I recommend staying at Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok.
It’s a five-star hotel with many facilities. Lovely decorations and a very comfortable room made my stay very pleasant.
Dusit Thani means “Town in Heaven,” The hotel is a “heaven on earth.”

Yes Dusit Thani is in my opinion one of the nicest hotels in bangkok :)
and I wouldn't mind to stay at Dusit Dubai :P
Yes that's true. For me the staff is the most important part. You can have the most awesome room, when the staff however is unfriendly you still cannot fully enjoy it.
I totally agree with you :)
Yes, I can highly recommend it. I am sure you would like it :)
I love the Dusit chains, my Dad actually worked in the Dusit Dubai when it first opened :) the Bangkok one looks like a wonderful stay. Wouldn't mind experiencing that for myself haha :D
Hey Tim, thanks for this. I had never stayeda t the Dusit, it seems every time I travel to Bangkok I stay at a different place. Could be a good one to consider next time! These were some nice views of Lumpini park and the room looked comfy. I'll definitively consider it next time!
Beautiful hotel! Love the view from the restaurant, but I especially love that they have good bread! When traveling to places that don't do bread well I always miss that the most!
This looks a million time nicer than the places I stayed in Bangkok! I'd love to go back and stay here
So lovely! I would love to stay somewhere with lizards and things creeping around. <3
I love the meaning of this hotel, Town in Heaven. I like the location very much, it's a very convenient location in Bangkok. I also like the friendly staff, it's so important during a stay to help you feel at home.
Looks like a great place to stay. Love that the breakfast selection includes a Japaneses station.
If I’m ever going to stay in a Hotel like this, I’ll know that I achieved something in my life. It looks so luxurious!
Yes, it is. Maybe something for a special occasion :)
Looks wonderful! We’ve been to Bangkok so many times but haven’t gotten down to staying at the Dusit Thani just yet! Hopefully next time!
Yes, when you have the chance you should stay there next time :) I am sure you won’t regret it!
I stayed in Dusit Thani Manila and I loved it!
Glad that you have enjoyed your stay there :) I will also travel to Manila next year!
Look s like an awesome property. You have captured its essence truly well. Kudoos!
Yes, I have had a great time there :) Thank you!
It really is! :)
Unfortunately I didn't try the Spa but the Spa area looked very nice! When you decide to stay there don't miss it :)
I want to stay in Dusit Thani too! That's a really nice room. Did you try their spa as well? How was it?
