Dusit International is expanding its presence in the Philippines via agreements recently signed with design-driven developer IDC Prime.

The agreements were signed for Dusit International by its local arm Dusit Thani Philippines Inc and involve the management of two new hotels in Northern Mindanao under the upper-midscale brand Dusit Princess.

Dusit International chief operating officer Gilles Cretallaz said of the signing: “We are delighted and honoured to collaborate with IDC Prime to further expand our presence in the Philippines through these remarkable projects. The Philippine’s dynamic economic growth and thriving tourism sector offer unparalleled opportunities for innovation and advancement. With IDC Prime’s shared commitment to sustainability and positive impact, we are excited to bring our distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to these vibrant Mindanao destinations, delivering meaningful and memorable guest experiences while creating lasting value for the broader community.”

Dusit-branded hotels currently operating in the Philippines include Dusit Thani Manila, Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort, Dusit Thani Residence Davao, dusitD2 Davao, and Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort.

Seamlessly interwoven with its surroundings

Slated to open in late 2029, Dusit Princess Moena will be a standout feature of Moena Mountain Estate, a sustainability-focused mixed-use development located in the lush, forested mountains of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, on the outskirts of the Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park.

Thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, the 184-key hotel will cater to both business and leisure travellers, offering a wide range of premium facilities, including a lobby lounge, business centre, all-day dining restaurant, outdoor pool, fully equipped gym, yoga room, and a versatile multipurpose area.

Its location Dahilayan is already a popular destination for nature enthusiasts thanks to its stunning mountain scenery, striking landscapes, cool climate, and a variety of outdoor adventures. 

With its contemporary accommodation and extensive range of services, Dusit Princess Moena will further enhance the area’s appeal, complementing existing attractions such as Dahilayan Adventure Park and the expansive Del Monte Pineapple plantations.

A new addition to Cagayan de Oro’s hospitality scene

Further north, and also slated to open in late 2029, Dusit Princess Firenze will be a key highlight of IDC’s Firenze Green Tower project in the Limketkai area of Cagayan de Oro, near the city’s commercial and business districts.

Leveraging the city’s reputation as the Adventure Capital of the Philippines and its fast-growing business and leisure markets, this 14-storey mixed-use green development will seamlessly combine commercial, residential, and hotel spaces. 

Dusit will manage 180 rooms on the tower’s upper floors, providing guests with exceptional views and Dusit’s signature high standards of service.

Designed to provide unparalleled convenience, memorable experiences, and exceptional value for guests and residents alike, the project will also feature an array of premium facilities, including a gym, spa, multipurpose areas, commercial spaces, and a swimming pool.
