Dusit International to put up hotel in La Union

MANILA, Philippines - Global hotel brand Dusit International is teaming up with RCL Realty and Consulting Services Inc. and Brightbeam Corp. to bring a dusitD2 hotel in La Union that will require an investment of P500 million.

La Union dusitD2 will rise on a seven-hectare luxury residential resort complex called Waves Beach Club and Residences.

Targeted for opening by the first quarter of 2019, Waves is being developed as a premium Malibu-inspired lifestyle, commercial, and residential hub at the surfing capital of Northern Luzon.

“Combining competitive pricing and the best quality for development and construction, Waves is ideal for young families and professionals looking to grow their future on a resort and private neighborhood managed by credible and experienced property developers,” said Fausto Liriano, chairman and CEO of RCL.

“We are very happy to seal this partnership with a solid brand that’s been around for over 65 years. The Dusit International brand has always been synonymous with world-class hospitality,” he added.

The development is part of Dusit International’s aggressive expansion plans that are underway.

Across the group’s four key brands are Dusit Thani, dusitD2, DusitPrincess, and Deverana.

Dusit International has opened dusitD2 resorts in Thailand, US, China, Kenya and Dubai in the U.A.E., and is in the process of opening 12 more properties in China, Philippines, Oman, Bhutan, Abu Dhabi, Myanmar, Qatar, and Mongolia.

“The resort is a first-of-its-kind in the area, and we are pleased to be partnering with RCL Realty and Consulting Services, Inc. and Brightbeam Corp. on this project as they are also known for delivering high quality developments.

We are confident that they will be able to help us realize our plans for a resort that offers the distinctive combination of comfort, convenience, technology, and warm gracious service that the dusitD2 brand is world-renowned for,” Dusit International COO Lim Boon Kwee said.
