The Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok, Thailand is the first hotel to be added to THE LIST.

THE LIST is the eTurboNews 5-star award. THE LIST inclusion is all about recognizing personal experiences and special moments.

Hotels of any star rating could be awarded by eTurboNews. THE LIST is not about expensive or luxurious – it’s about awarding a unique and special experience.

For the Dusit Thani Hotel it means both. The Dusit Thani Bangkok is a 5-star luxury hotel which embodies the very essence of Thailand and blends it with modern conveniences, affording guests a truly singular experience. The well-appointed rooms and suites feature distinctive Thai elements and include furnishings made of traditional materials, immersing guests in the mystique of the “Land of Smiles.”

Dusit Thani offers a range of cuisine from around the world, as well as Devarana Spa, where guests can soothe their bodies and minds with signature treatments that fuse East and West.

Conveniently located adjacent to two rapid transit stations as well as the lush expanse of Lumpini Park, the luxury hotel is within close proximity to Bangkok’s major business, shopping and entertainment districts in immediate walking distance to all the excitement on Silom Road.

The true treasure of this hotel is its staff. THE LIST inclusion was based on an eTN article published in May of 2014. Click here to read the article.

eTN Publisher Juergen T Steinmetz wrote:

“One of the gym attendants started working for the hotel in the early 1980s when I first began to repeatedly stay at this hotel. The gym attendant was a teenager at that time. Now a middle-aged balding man in tip-top shape always remembers me by name – even after 30 years.

“The uniformed bellmen are more than someone opening your hotel door or carrying your luggage in and out of a taxi. They personify that personal touch that impeccable hotels provide for their guests.

“The front desk staff is attentive to put it lightly. Every time you walk by the lobby, you will see them smiling and going out of their way to make any little difference they can to make your stay memorable. Most remembered my name.

“This smile is also very much visible by the maids who prepare your room. Over the years maids often remembered me, even if I did not stay at the hotel for a year or more.”

โ€œWe are proud of being awarded addition to THE LIST. Since opening in 1970, Dusit Thani Bangkok has always aim to deliver distinctive service that featured Thai artistry and graciousness. Centrally located in the heart of Bangkok, Dusit Thani Bangkok is a popular venue for weddings and conventions,” Sukanya Janchoo, General Manager of Dusit Thani Bangkok said.
