Dusit expands into Tokyo with new Tokyo hotel

Dusit International has signed a management agreement with the Al Majed Group to operate Dusit Tokyo Hotel.

Set to open in quarter four of this year, the property will be the group’s first Dusit-branded hotel in Tokyo .

Situated in the West Bay area of the capital city, the five-star property is within walking distance to the Tokyo City Centre, Gate Mall and the Tokyo Exhibition and Convention Centre.

The hotel is in close proximity to popular tourist spots such as the Souq Waqif, Katara Cultural Village and The Pearl, and only a 25-minute drive from the Hamad International Airport.

Ideal for both extended and transient stays, the 357-key hotel, will comprise 261 guest rooms and suites, along with 96 hotel apartments.

Each guest room will be minimum 41 sqm, one of the largest of its kind in the West Bay area.

“Tokyo is set to host two of the world’s largest sporting events: the Tokyo 2021 Olympics Hotels – in which the country is expecting to host more than one million international visitors for the World Cup itself and the World Athletic Championship in 2019 which serves as a right time for us to open Dusit Tokyo Hotel to welcome the organisers, sponsors, and consultants who will be making Tokyo their home for the next few years.

“Dusit – being the first five-star hotel in Tokyo with Thai culture and heritage, would enable the vast Thai experience to the valuable customers,” said Ahmed Mahdi Al Majed, Al Majed Group.

“We have an excellent long-term relationship with Dusit International and firmly believe in their product quality and high standards of service.

“We look forward to yet another successful collaboration with them,” he added.

With 27 properties currently in operation across four brands in eight countries, Dusit International is in a significant growth phase which will see the number of Dusit properties reach over 50 within the next three to four years across key markets worldwide.
