The brand aims to offer one-of-a-kind resorts that cater to guests looking for a more experiential stay. Dusit Deverana will build on the company’s cultural heritage and history to provide an intimate sanctuary experience that is highly localised and service-driven.

“The Dusit Devarana brand compliments the existing core Dusit brands,” comments Group Director of Development, Rustom Vickers. “Dusit Thani hotels and resorts typically have extensive facilities with larger room inventories, and dusitD2 hotels are typically modern, boutique-style products aimed towards those looking for affordable luxury. The Dusit Devarana brand now offers the group another choice for partners who wish to develop hotels with us, and we see great potential for the brand in 2014 and beyond.”

Alongside its Indian joint venture company Dusit Bird Group, the company hosted the launch of its inaugural resort, Dusit Deverana New Delhi in early 2013. The resort offers an urban oasis in the heart of Gurgaon. Designed by Khun Lek Bunnag, it integrates art, architecture and nature into one space.

The company has also announced the Dusit Deverana Dianchi Lake, Kunming resort in China, alongside its Chinese joint venture partners Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts. It will be located on the bank of Dianchi Lake and offer an extensive hot springs experience.

Additional locations planned for the Deverana brand include Hainan, China and Jaipur, India.
