From the grand marble and gold-hued foyer, you'll be whisked up to classically styled rooms with dizzying views of the city sprawl. Dusit Thani is a favourite with regional tourists for its opulent ambience. The downside is its isolation from eating out choices, though with Benjarong among its three in-house restaurants you don't always have to be jumping in a cab.
