Thai hospitality company Dusit International has appointed Marc Handl as managing director of Dusit Thani Bangkok, the group’s flagship hotel, which reopened in September 2024 following a complete redevelopment. He will also oversee the upcoming launches of Dusit Residences and Dusit Parkside.

All three properties form part of Dusit Central Park, a landmark mixed-use development in Bangkok’s downtown district that also features a retail centre, office tower, and one of Thailand’s largest rooftop parks.

A third-generation hotelier, Handl brings more than 30 years of international experience spanning luxury hotels, resorts and mixed-use developments across Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.

Most recently with Abu Dhabi National Hotels, he oversaw a portfolio of 15 properties across 10 international brands. His career also includes senior leadership roles with brands such as Park Hyatt, The Ritz-Carlton, Aman and Rosewood.
