The famed Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel has been a social <strong>and</strong><br />
business institution in Bangkok for 40 years. Even non-English<br />
speaking taxi drivers know exactly where to take you when<br />
you w<strong>and</strong>er, disoriented by bustling Bangkok, into their cabs.<br />
When I arrive at the Dusit Thani, it’s abuzz with excitement as<br />
teenagers eagerly await the arrival of four Korean popstars.<br />
The international hotel st<strong>and</strong>ards of the Dusit Thani<br />
Bangkok, a travel partner of Preferred Hotel Group, are<br />
delivered with distinctive Thai artistry <strong>and</strong> graciousness –<br />
befitting of a hotel that translates in Thai to ‘a town in heaven’.<br />
Ideally located in the heart of Bangkok, it sits adjacent<br />
to Lumpini Park – a green respite in a concrete jungle. My<br />
spacious two-bedroom suite is extravagantly appointed. Two<br />
bedrooms, each with an ensuite, living area <strong>and</strong> dining, make<br />
for plenty of space to spread out shopping acquisitions.<br />
Devarana Spa is an oasis of tranquility within the Dusit<br />
Thani, named from Thai-Sanskrit meaning ‘garden in<br />
heaven’. The contemporary Thai design <strong>and</strong> decor envelops<br />
you on entry <strong>and</strong> relaxes the weary urbanite. The welcoming<br />
reception features a sparkling water pond, natural light<br />
<strong>and</strong> vibrant colours leading off to the private <strong>and</strong> double<br />
treatment suites. Luxuriously designed in a contemporary<br />
Thai style, each room boasts facilities such as a steam room,<br />
shower room, floral bath, massage area <strong>and</strong> a lounge on<br />
which to unwind.<br />
The treatment menu is an array of internationally<br />
influenced massage, facials, water treatments, body wraps<br />
<strong>and</strong> packages. The signature Heavenly Nantha Garden<br />
Experience is a delight. It combines fresh tropical pink<br />
lotus <strong>and</strong> champaca with aromatic blends of ylang ylang<br />
<strong>and</strong> jasmine to create a divine experience. A body scrub is<br />
followed by a massage, blending Thai, Ayurveda <strong>and</strong> Shiatsu<br />
techniques with Swedish <strong>and</strong> aromatherapy influences.<br />
For those who love both being on the doorstep of the<br />
action <strong>and</strong> traditional Thai style, Dusit Thani is your Mecca.<br />
