The hotelier Dusit Thani (DTC) is planning to open its first standalone restaurant in Bangkok's central business district for fine dining and events.
The Baan Dusit Thani is located in a restored World War II-era home on 4.5 rai on Sala Daeng Road, 100 metres from the flagship Dusit Thani Hotel.
The establishment consists of three separate restaurants: Benjarong Thai Restaurant; Thien Duong Vietnamese Restaurant; and Dusit Gourmet & Garden Bar.
Event spaces are available for small or large social and private events, including a dance hall and a semi-outdoor pavilion that can be transformed into an enclosed air-conditioned space.
All outlets and spaces will officially open tomorrow.
"This unique and exciting venue expands our market reach, introducing the hotel's signature venues and Thai-inspired hospitality and services to consumers who prefer to dine at standalone restaurants," said Suphajee Suthumpun, group chief executive of Dusit International.
"Baan Dusit Thani provides the perfect opportunity to experiment with new concepts, respond to trends and then use our findings to enhance the food and beverage operations at Dusit Hotels & Resorts worldwide," she said.
Baan Dusit Thani also features decor from Dusit Thani Bangkok, transformed into statement pieces to give each restaurant distinct character and atmosphere, said Mrs Suphajee.
"From promoting healthy living with the use of organic, wholesome ingredients to offering a large, green space where local residents can relax with their pets, our holistic approach to lifestyle will ensure that Dusit Thani Bangkok stays at the forefront of customers minds while our new flagship hotel is being built," she said.
