DUSIT International, one of Asia’s leading hotel groups, has announced its expansion into the US with the first dusitD2 hotel outside Asia - dusitD2 pasadena.
Located in the commercial and financial district of Pasadena, California, the hotel will be managed by Dusit International with 136 rooms and suites targeting leisure and business travellers from across North America.
The heritage-listed property will be part of a downtown mixed-use development, which will include the dusitD2 hotel, offices, retail and restaurants. The hotel site is in an excellent location and will take advantage of the surrounding commercial, financial and entertainment precincts.
The property is expected to open after extensive renovations and refits by the third quarter of 2012.
Chanin Donavanik, CEO Dusit International, said: “Our launch into North America marks an exciting milestone for Dusit International. Pasadena is a unique city and known for its historic architecture and the restored craftsman-style homes and unique small businesses as well as being home to many scientific and cultural institutions. We believe that our stylish dusitD2 brand and the warmth of Thai hospitality will quickly make dusitD2 Pasadena the place to be and pave the way for Dusit’s future expansion into this region.”
