Dusit Thani Kyoto receives coveted ‘Michelin Key’ from the Michelin Guide 2024

In the heart of Japan’s ancient former capital, it is the first luxury hotel in the country that has been officially recognised for offering ‘A very special stay.’

Dusit Thani Kyoto, operated by Dusit International, has been named among the first hotels in the world to receive a coveted Michelin Key from the Michelin Guide 2024. Introduced by the Michelin Guide in April 2024, Michelin Key acknowledges hotels that deliver outstanding stays with one, two, and three key distinctions. It is awarded to only those establishments that demonstrate the ‘best of the best’ across five key areas – excellence in architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the neighbourhood or setting.

Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International, commented, “Dusit Thani Kyoto is honoured to be among the first hotels in the world and the first Thai-branded hotel in Japan to receive One Michelin Key for the quality of service and experiences offered. This recognition is a tribute to the dedication of the hotel team and our unwavering commitment to exceeding guest expectations at every touchpoint. This award also serves as a testament to the refreshed Dusit Thani brand, and a promise of the same high standards to be expected at our reimagined flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok, reopening on September 27, 2024, and other luxury Dusit Thani properties worldwide. As we follow our vision to uniquely deliver Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to the world, we look forward to pursuing further Michelin Key success at other Dusit destinations in the future.”

Japan is the first Asian country to receive Michelin Keys, and Dusit Thani Kyoto is one of only 85 hotels in the country to be named a One Michelin Key establishment. It is also the first Thai-branded hotel in Japan to receive this accolade.
