MANILA, Philippines - Thai hotel chain
Dusit International is bringing its dusitD2 brand to the Philippines, with
Davao as its first site.
Dusit International plans to tap the
burgeoning economic activity in Davao City with the entry of dusitD2 Davao, an upscale
hotel that will cater to local and international business travelers.
The hotel will be built adjacent to
the Dusit Thani Residences development and will be developed in partnership
with local property firm Torre Lorenzo Development Corp.
DusitD2 Davao will be the first
dusitD2 hotel in the Philippines when it opens by 2018.
“Dusit International created the
dusitD2 brand with today’s travellers in mind. It features high-tech and modern
conveniences coupled with contemporary design as seen in the world-class
amenities and overall aesthetics of the hotel. We are confident that this will
match the youthful vibe and excitement of Davao City,”said Ryan Chen, Dusit
International director of development for Asia Pacific.
Chen said dusitD2 Davao guests would
enjoy the same five-star treatment and gracious hospitality that is the
trademark of Dusit across all its hotels around the world.
Dusit Thani Residences, a luxury
apartment complex featuring 168 full-service residence units, and dusitD2 Davao
is Dusit International’s maiden entry into the Davao market.
“With prime real estate locations,
world-class infrastructure and facilities, Davao City is quickly becoming a
choice venue for Filipino entrepreneurs, as well as investors from Asia Pacific
and beyond. Just outside the city limits are destinations and vacation spots
where one can enjoy the beach and other natural resources, creating a great
work-life balance for both local residents and visitors,” the Bangkok-based
hotel group said.
