Hua Hin, Thailand, July 20, 2021 / TRAVELINDEX / Dusit International has expanded its operations in the Kingdom with the opening of the dusitD2 Hua Hin, an upscale, pet-friendly hotel in the heart of Hua Hin, a popular seaside resort just a three-hour drive from Bangkok. Featuring a wide range of modern amenities and state-of-the-art air filtration systems, the new hotel offers families and groups of friends a comfortable, convenient, and safe stay in the heart of this popular coastal town, just 200 km south of Bangkok.

The new hotel is just a seven-minute walk from Hua Hin's main beach and close to popular local attractions such as the Cicada Market and the Bluport Hua Hin Resort Mall. It has been designed as a modern and comfortable oasis where families and groups of friends can recharge, relax, and easily explore everything the destination has to offer. Pets are also welcome.

Current dining options include Cafe Soi, an all-day dining restaurant where guests can embark on a culinary journey through southern Thailand, enjoying traditional delicacies from Surat Thani, Phuket, Songkhla, Krabi and beyond; Som Bar, a lively rooftop bar inspired by Hollywood party venues where guests can sip cocktails and admire panoramic ocean views; and Dusit Gourmet, Dusit's in-house bakery and café where guests can enjoy a variety of Thai and international specialties, all prepared with high-quality ingredients.
