In September, an expansion phase for Dusit International is set to unfold in Japan, marked by the inauguration of Dusit Thani Kyoto. This new upscale establishment graces the lively Hanganji Monzen-machi district of the city, nestled a mere 850 meters from the bustling Kyoto Station, a key transportation hub offering seamless travel links across Kyoto and the broader Japanese landscape.
The framework laid by Dusit’s initial foray into the country, the lifestyle-centric ASAI Kyoto Shijo, which made its debut in June, paves the way for the distinct character of Dusit Thani Kyoto. The architects of this luxury haven have conscientiously shaped it to provide an exceptional sojourn for discerning luxury explorers in search of an immersive, exclusive, and enriching experience, all while reveling in the pinnacle of comfort and convenience.
Nestled within a tranquil residential enclave, the hotel bears an architectural resonance that captures the opulent heritage and breathtaking design ethos emblematic of Kyoto. This artistic inspiration flows seamlessly indoors, subtly weaving in allusions to Ayutthaya, a bygone Thai capital, adding a touch of grandeur reminiscent of the city’s iconic chedis. This intersection of diverse cultural narratives further influences the interior aesthetics of the 147 meticulously curated guest abodes, fusing timeless sophistication with contemporary allure.
Surrounding an idyllic, serene courtyard, the establishment boasts an array of amenities tailored to both business and leisure guests. These encompass sophisticated event spaces accommodating up to 240 attendees, a well-appointed fitness center, an indoor swimming haven, and a signature Devarana Wellness center. This sanctuary beckons with a unique fusion of ancient Thai massage therapies and age-old Japanese rituals, offering bespoke wellness regimens to facilitate relaxation, detoxification, and rejuvenating slumber.
The culinary narrative at Dusit Thani Kyoto promises a tantalizing voyage for the palate, boasting a plethora of delectable offerings. Notable highlights include an exclusive Teppanyaki dining haven, an opulent tea emporium, the chic subterranean Den Kyoto bar, and a cornucopia of gastronomic delights conjured by the acclaimed culinary artisans, Duangporn “Bo” Songvisava and Dylan Jones, hailing from Thailand.
Boasting a reputation for their unwavering commitment to crafting authentic Thai delicacies utilizing locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients, Bo and Dylan have carved a name for themselves on the global culinary stage, including the coveted Michelin Star, bestowed upon their former Bangkok eatery, Bo.Ian. The duo’s latest gastronomic creation, Ayatana, housed within Dusit Thani Kyoto, promises an unparalleled, multi-sensory fine dining escapade where the intricate flavors of Thai cuisine converge harmoniously with the finest Japanese culinary traditions, creating indelible memories to cherish. To complement this gastronomic journey, the duo presents Kati, an innovative dessert atelier that reinvents traditional Thai sweets.
In celebration of its grand unveiling, Dusit Thani Kyoto extends an invitation to partake in its offerings with exclusive room rates tailor-made for Dusit’s distinguished guest recognition initiative, Dusit Gold. Commencing at JPY 56,925 (USD 400) per night, these accommodations come bundled with a JPY 5,000 hotel credit per individual per stay. This limited-time offer remains valid for reservations made until November 30th, 2023, for stays spanning from September 1st to December 28th, 2023.
