By: Christian Stan | 5 February, 2015

Dusit International announces the signing of a hotel management agreement for the first-ever dusitD2 project to be located in Myanmar. Slated for a 2017 opening date, the dusitD2 Residence Yangon is ideally situated between the city centre and Yangon International Airport. The residence will offer 300 units, a specialty dining outlet, bar, business lounge and recreational facilities including a gym and swimming pool.

Designed around the concept to “feel calm Asian winds and enjoy heartfelt hospitality”, large windows on the ground floor give residents the feeling of indoor/outdoor living. The building’s architecture blends well into the surrounding landscape, whilst multi-storey vertical sky gardens continue the indoor/outdoor theme. The pool, bar and gym are positioned in the top storeys so that residents can take in breezy, scenic views over Yangon.

The dusitD2 in Yangon will be the first property in the city to combine the best of warm Asian hospitality and cutting-edge design. The multi-cultural collaboration between the Thai hospitality management brought by Dusit, the sophisticated building design by our Japanese architects at Iida Studio, the Japanese project consulting and construction management by Kosukai Land and the excellent cooperation of the local Myanmar partners will ensure the project is a truly great success, bringing together the very best of Asian innovation and hospitality.

Dusit International has over 65 years of experience in the hotel and hospitality field. Founded in 1949 by Honorary Chairperson Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, whose first hotel was the Princess on Bangkok’s New Road, Dusit International has since acquired a unique portfolio of distinctive hotels, building upon Thai culture and tradition to create a personalized welcome for all guests made distinctive under the Dusit International brand promise; the delivery of an ‘experience that enlivens the individual spirit, no matter the journey’.

Dusit International comprises four hotel brands: Dusit Thani, dusitD2, Dusit Princess and Dusit Devarana. It also operates Dusit Residences and its own signature Devarana Spa.
