Dusit International has delivered the strongest development performance in its history, completing 24 hotel signings in 2025. As a result, the Thailand-based hospitality group achieved an all-time high while significantly expanding its global development pipeline across Asia, the Middle East, and other international markets.
According to the company, this milestone came at a time of rising development costs and evolving investor expectations, thereby underscoring Dusit’s measured and disciplined growth strategy. Moreover, the group continues to prioritise quality-led expansion, with a sharper focus on conversions and brownfield projects to support faster project delivery and earlier investment returns. Several developments signed and opened in 2025 demonstrated this capability, including Dusit Hotel AG Park, Chengdu; dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives; and Tantawan Tented Camp, Chiang Rai. Additionally, the year marked Dusit’s entry into new markets such as Indonesia, while the company also deepened its presence in Japan, India, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines.
Commenting on the achievement, Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Development (Global), Dusit International, said, “Our development strategy has never been about growth for growth’s sake. It is about identifying the right assets, in the right locations, and applying the right brand, operational expertise, and long-term vision to unlock their full potential. Whether through new builds, conversions, or thoughtfully integrated mixed-use developments that combine hotels and branded residences, our focus is on alignment—between the asset, the market, and the brand—supported by disciplined execution and a clear pathway to sustainable performance. This is how we create long-term value for our partners and deliver experiences that are true to what Dusit stands for.”
Meanwhile, Chanin Donavanik, Group Chief Executive Officer, Dusit International, said, “The momentum achieved in 2025 reflects the strength of Dusit’s long-term strategy and the clarity of our direction as a group. Our priority has been to build a high-quality, well-balanced portfolio that can perform across market cycles, supported by strong brands and a deep understanding of the destinations we serve. In 2026, we remain focused on disciplined execution and sustainable growth, while staying mindful of the broader economic and geopolitical environment.”
Looking ahead, Dusit’s active development pipeline now exceeds 50 properties, all scheduled to open within the next five years. Furthermore, the company expects 2026 to be a strong year for openings, with plans to add more than 1,400 rooms globally. Currently, Dusit’s portfolio comprises 296 properties across 18 countries, reinforcing its position as a globally diversified hospitality group.
