China's First Dusit Thani Hotel Debuts In Jiangsu Province

Bangkok -- The highly anticipated Dusit Thani Dongtai, Jiangsu Hotel announces its official opening, making it the first internationally branded deluxe hotel in the city and the very first Dusit Thani to launch in the People's Republic of China.

Featuring 160 well-appointed guestrooms and suites, the Dusit Thani Dongtai, Jiangsu is situated in the city's newest economic development zone, with easy access to the central business district.

Since then, the Dusit Thani brand serves as a trusted symbol of Thai values, embodying the very essence of gracious Thai hospitality.

The Dusit Thani Dongtai, Jiangsu offers guests a variety of business and leisure facilities, including three dining outlets.

Overlooking the resort's beautiful serene landscape, the elegant Lobby Lounge offers guests an extensive selection of refreshments and cocktails.

With state-of-the-art audiovisual facilities and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, the banquet and meeting rooms at Dusit Thani Dongtai, Jiangsu caters to a variety of business and event needs. A 650-sqm pillarless ballroom can accommodate approximately 380 guests, while 920 square metres of lush, natural landscaping provides the perfect venue to host outdoor cocktails and social events.

"We are proud to launch the Dusit Thani brand in China to deliver the finest service rooted in gracious Thai hospitality," said Mr. Peter Gan, General Manager of Operations and Hotel Openings – China, Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts.
