Thailand is known for its warm welcome and relaxing resorts, and Dusit Thani has managed to take a slice of this Southeast Asian charm to Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.
The Thai-owned five-star hotel doesn’t feel like it’s in the heart of the city but is minutes away from the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall making it a seriously convenient location.
On the topic of convenience, it’s worth noting that the hotel provides complimentary shuttle services both to and from The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and Kite Beach as well as a number of popular tourist destinations.
Dusit Thani Dubai Rooms
It is also worth noting that the hotel has a number of rooms that have been specially designed for people of determination and that all of the hotel’s 321 rooms come with their own mini bar, satellite TV and in-door safe.
Much like in Thailand, the hotel’s staff are friendly, incredibly efficient and fluent in a number of languages including signs.
The combination of Dusit Thani Dubai’s prime location, seamless service, leisure activities and ample dining options – fun fact, the hotel’s home to one of the city’s leading Friday brunches, you can try it for just AED225 – makes it the perfect spot for local staycations and tourists alike.
Dusit Thani Dubai Restaurants
Nippon Bottle Company
Nippon Bottle Co has most definitely secured its spot in the nation’s dining scene. Step beyond the secret bookcase and try the extensive drinks menu (make sure you check out their aged blends) and moreish Japanese dishes.Some claim that Nippon Bottle Company was built in tribute to a Tsundoku, an old man who was known for hoarding books – hence the venue’s signature bookshelf – while others believe that the venue was inspired by the failed romance of Takehiko and Sakura, a nine-tailed fox who left him broken-hearted with her betrayal.
This would explain why you can find many pieces dedicated to Sakura. We guess you’ll just have to visit Nippon Bottle Company and decide which theory you’d most like to believe. Aside from a good mystery, guests can look forward to some equally captivating beats provided by the venue’s new in-house DJ, Bia – she’ll be spinning a number of deep house tunes every Thursday and Friday from 8.30 pm to 12.30 am from August 3.

The Californian
Despite what its name suggests, The Californian is an intercontinental restaurant. The cuisine served depends on the day of the week; Sunday is tandoori night, Monday is Mexican, Tuesday is BBQ night – New Orleans barbeque night to be precise – while Wednesdays are reserved for the flavours of South East Asia. Seafood takes centre stage on Thursdays and Fridays are dedicated to flavours of the globe.
