Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts will open a Dusit Thani Resort in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China, in 2019.

The Dusit Thani Hot Springs and Wellness Resort Fuzhou will be located in Lianjiang County, a well-known hot springs destination in the northern area of Fuzhou. The resort will include 250 bedrooms and villas, many with private hot springs pools.

“We are pleased to bring Dusit’s brand of gracious Thai hospitality to this exciting city,” said Lim Boon Kwee, COO of Dusit International. “We are confident that alongside our partners, the Dusit Thani Hot Springs and Wellness Resort Fuzhou will deliver an inspiring and rejuvenating getaway for both local and international guests.”

Dusit is also planning hot springs resorts in Suzhou and Zhuzhou City, China, as well as a resort on Hainan Island. The company recently announced a robust expansion plan, with more than 40 properties planned in the next five years.

Dusit also recently named Suphajee Suthumpun CEO, the third group CEO in the company’s 67-year history and the first to be named from outside of the founding family.
