In Abu Dhabi, Dusit Hotels & Resorts has signed with DAS Holding to launch the Dusit Thani hotel with 593 rooms and suites, complemented by over 400 apartments by Dusit Residences, to offer a stunning complex of over 1000 accommodation options. This development is strategically located on Abu Dhabi island in front of Al Jazeerah Sports Club, and only 5 km away from the International Exhibition Centre. Modern food and beverage outlets, a full health club, the Devarana Spa, swimming pool, meeting rooms suitable for conferences and small seminars, and a dedicated club floor with executive lounge will ensure guests are provided with everything they need, for their Abu Dhabi stay.
