Dusit brings its signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to Chengdu, home of giant pandas, Sichuan cuisine, and the world-renowned Sichuan Opera.
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 - Dusit International, one of Thailand's leading hotel and property development companies, represented in China by Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, has signed a hotel management agreement with Dongfang Nongbo (Chengdu) Commercial Operation Management Company Limited to operate Dusit Hotel AG Park, Chengdu – a serene retreat in one of China's most dynamic and culturally rich destinations, renowned for its vibrant street food, rich tea culture, and iconic giant pandas.
Slated to open on 1 June 2025, the 250-key Dusit Hotel AG Park, Chengdu is located within the expansive Tianfu Agricultural Expo Park, just 30 minutes by car from both Chengdu city centre and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, and only 20 minutes from Xinjin high-speed rail station, which connects to key cities across Sichuan Province.
Spanning approximately 2.7 square kilometres, Tianfu Agricultural Expo Park is a landmark development dedicated to high-tech agriculture, sustainable farming, and cultural tourism. Designed around the principles of innovation, harmony, and green development, the park integrates agricultural exhibitions, farming culture, scientific research, technology development, and leisure tourism into a seamless experience, making it a fitting location for Dusit's latest expansion.
Guests will be able to choose from a range of private villas or spacious guest rooms set around beautifully maintained gardens. Enhancing the guest experience, the resort will offer a wealth of premium facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant with a farm-to-table focus, a specialty restaurant, a Chinese restaurant featuring eight private dining rooms, a stylish lobby lounge, an indoor swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a dedicated kids' club, mahjong rooms, and a pillarless multi-functional conference hall with three versatile meeting rooms.
Alongside Dusit's signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, the resort will also offer immersive experiences that connect guests with the best of the destination. These include curated dining experiences that reflect Chengdu's status as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, visits to the world-renowned Sichuan Opera, where the mesmerising 'face-changing' performance sees actors seamlessly switch masks in seconds, and the opportunity to see giant pandas up close at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, one of the city's most popular attractions.
"With its rich culinary heritage, deep cultural traditions, and world-famous attractions, Chengdu is a destination like no other, and we are thrilled to introduce Dusit's signature gracious hospitality to this remarkable city," said Mr Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. "This signing underscores our commitment to thoughtful expansion in China, and we are excited to create a unique retreat where guests can immerse themselves in Chengdu's vibrant energy while enjoying the exceptional service and experiences that define Dusit."
