BANGKOK, Thailand, 6 February 2026: Dusit International, one of Thailand\u2019s leading hotel and property development companies, is spotlighting a rare convergence of Michelin recognition across its hospitality ecosystem, spanning hotels, dining, and the chefs who have passed through institutions under Dusit Hospitality Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While individual Michelin distinctions across Dusit\u2019s portfolio have been announced previously, their collective significance has become increasingly apparent. Together, they reflect a long-term, integrated approach to hospitality, one that links guest experience, culinary excellence, and education under a shared philosophy of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n

A triple Michelin win for hotels<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Dusit Thani Bangkok, Dusit Thani Kyoto, and Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu hotels were each awarded one Michelin Key from the Michelin Guide, recognising exceptional stays and affirming Dusit\u2019s focus on design integrity, refined service, and experiences shaped by local culture and character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, Dusit\u2019s culinary credentials have been strengthened through one Michelin Star awarded to Cannubi by Umberto Bombana at Dusit Thani Bangkok \u2013 the first Italian restaurant in Thailand to receive such distinction \u2013 reinforcing the group\u2019s position as a curator of world-class dining experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role of Dusit Thani College alumni recognised<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, this recognition extends beyond hotels and restaurants to the people shaping them. Dusit Thani College, recognised as one of the leading institutions in Thailand and Asia in hospitality and culinary education, has spent more than three decades providing a strong professional foundation for budding chefs who have gone on to build meaningful careers. Its alumni include respected chefs, restaurateurs, and competitors on international platforms such as MasterChef and Iron Chef, reflecting both technical excellence and creative confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n
