Located on the same grounds as the acclaimed Laguna National Golf & Country Club, the luxurious resort is the first in the Lion City to offer direct access to two championship golf
courses.
Bangkok, Thailand, 2 December 2020 - Dusit International, one of Thailand's leading hotel and property development companies, has officially expanded into
Singapore with the opening of Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore in the heart of the renowned Laguna National Golf & Country Club, one of the island nation's premier golf and country clubs.
Comprising 198 tastefully-decorated contemporary rooms and suites, plus eight pavilions with private pools, and located
just 10 minutes by car from Jewel Changi Airport and 15 minutes from Downtown, the resort is the first in Singapore to
offer direct access to award-winning golfing facilities.
It is also the first resort in the country to feature Dusit's unique brand of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, and it
serves as a showcase of the company's new strategic direction for the new normal, which includes enhancing its brand DNA
in four key areas - Personalised Service, Well-being, Local Connections, and Sustainability.
Opening initially to domestic guests on 4 December 2020, the elegant resort has been thoughtfully designed to cater to
avid golfers, local families, and business and leisure travellers, and meet their needs from a wellness and destination
getaway perspective.
The main building, whose sleek, contemporary design includes a curvilinear roof and impressive facade of
floor-to-ceiling glass windows, signals a modern new direction for Dusit's 50-year-old Dusit Thani brand. High-tech
amenities and thoughtfully curated spaces combine to offer understated luxury which subtly references the old-world
opulence of Dusit's more traditional hotel offerings.
Current dining facilities include Greenhouse all-day dining; Tee Deck alfresco pool bar and grill; Legends Bar; and
Dusit Gourmet.
In line with Dusit's focus on well-being and sustainability, the restaurants are supported by an onsite garden planted
with a selection of herbs, vegetables and fruits. A series of wellness menus are also offered featuring nutritious and
balanced dishes for those seeking to maintain a healthy diet.
Alongside access to Laguna National Golf & Country Club's renowned Masters and Classic championship golf courses, guests also have access to a 24-hour gym, three
tennis courts, three swimming pools, a nine-hole putting green by Nicklaus Design, Laguna Practice powered by Toptracer
driving range, and Devarana Wellness.
Alongside providing traditional Thai massage and premium health and beauty therapies, the latter facility also offers a
wide range of activities that promote physical and mental well-being, such as meditation, yoga, active stretching, and
breath-work exercises. These activities have all been developed as part of Dusit's new Devarana Wellness programme,
which will also be rolled out to other Dusit Hotels and Resorts worldwide.
Positioned to become a leading venue for corporate functions, weddings and private social events, the resort also offers
a spacious boardroom, three meeting rooms, three large event lawns, and a luxurious pillarless ballroom with capacity
for 520 guests, depending on distancing requirements.
Nearby attractions for business and leisure include Changi Business Park, Singapore Expo, the Tampines business
district, Marina Bay, Raffles Place, Orchard Road, and Sentosa Island. All can be reached within 20 minutes by car.
Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore's concierge is also on hand to ensure guests can connect with the best of the destination
with personalised tips on what to see and do.
Alongside showcasing Dusit's new brand standards for the new normal, the opening of the resort demonstrates the
company's commitment to sustainable expansion by planting flags in strategic locations with strong growth potential. It
is Dusit's fifth resort to open this year, following dusitD2 Salwa Doha, Dusit Beach Resort Guam, ASAI Bangkok
Chinatown, and Dusit Thani Wellness Resort Suzhou. It also comes hot on the heels of recent signings to manage upcoming
hotels in India and Japan.

"Following this year's signings and openings, the arrival of Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore marks another important
milestone in our sustainable expansion, and we are delighted to make our debut in one of the world's most respected
business hubs and showcase our new brand DNA with such an exceptional property," said Ms Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO,
Dusit International. "The resort's stunning design, extensive guest offerings, and prime location on the grounds of the
Laguna National Golf & Country Club puts us in a unique position to offer an integrated and full suite of services to meet the needs of a wide
range of consumers, from C-suite executives and local staycationers, to soon-to-wed couples and avid golfers alike. This
ensures we have plenty of avenues for domestic revenue creation while we wait for the COVID-19 situation to normalise
and international travel to resume.
"While this is certainly a challenging time for our industry, Singapore previously recorded four years of consecutive
tourism growth, and we remain confident that the market will bounce back strong. Until then, we will do our utmost to
aid in its recovery by establishing Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore as a must-visit destination that brings enduring value
to all stakeholders."
Mr Eric Piatti, General Manager, Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore, said, "We are delighted to finally open Dusit Thani
Laguna Singapore and bring our personalised service and distinctive guest experiences to the destination for the first
time. Opening the resort while the borders are closed may seem challenging, but demand for staycations among the
domestic market is high, and we have an amazing and unique product to leverage this. Opening now will also ensure that
everything is in place to help the Lion City roar back to life as soon as international travel resumes. We look forward
to seeing Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore leading the pack, establishing itself as the new destination for Singaporeans."
