Dusit set to open first Abu Dhabi resort in 2013
POSTED 23 Nov 2012 . BY Aoife Dowling
Asian hotel operater Dusit International is set to open Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi, its first property in the UAE capital, in early 2013.

Located in a 37-storey glass tower in the business and government district, the resort will feature 402 guest rooms including 51 suites as well as 131 luxury apartments.

The Namm Spa features eight treatment rooms. Exact details of the spa facilities will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The hotel will house seven restaurants including Dusit's signature restaurant Benjarong Restaurant serving authentic Thai cuisine and the Urban Kitchen, which offers international and Arabic specialities.

Facilities include a fitness centre as well as a spacious conference centre with a variety of function rooms, including a 785sq m (8,450sq ft) ballroom that can host up to 2,000 guests.

Scott Mawhinney, general manager at Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi said: "Abu Dhabi is emerging as one of the most sought-after business hubs in the region and we see enormous potential for a world-class business hotel in the capital.

"We are confident that with its strategic location, the new Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi will prove a major attraction to the UAE capital."
