who visits the great city of New Delhi. Dusit Devrana offers 50 elegantly appointed rooms each spread over
60 square meters of pure luxury living spaces with different mood settings. Kiyan is Dusit Devarana’s

organic and homegrown vegetables and free range meats, Kiyan features Far Eastern, European and
Indian cuisine. The lah Bar at Dusit Devrana is not just an architectural marvel, but also a beverage

The Basics -
The 50-room Dusit Devarana, a Bird
Group resort, is the first branch
in India of the upscale Thailand-
based Dusit chain. The Thai architect
Khun Lek Bunnag designed the
picturesque eight-acre property that
opened last year and is meant to be a
contemporary interpretation of Indian
and Thai sensibilities. It features a
330-foot-long pool as the centerpiece.
The Room -
The four categories of rooms range
from a basic Premium Garden View to
the Devrana Pool. They are uniformly
650 square feet and vary in price only
because of their location. Because of
light occupancy during our visit last
December we were upgraded to the
Devarana Pool on the ground floor,
which has an veranda adjacent to the
pool. The room, like the rest of the
property, was a design delight with its
slightly curved shape and high domed
ceiling. The wooden bed contrasted
nicely with a long writing desk and
floor, both in a cool white marble. A
large white soaking tub was near the
patio. An iPad controlled everything
from lighting to the 42-inch LED
television, and we had a butler, a perk
offered to all guests, attending to our
every need.
The Bathroom -
The open layout integrated the
bathroom. Two marble sinks were on
either side of the room’s entryway and
had ample counter space. The toilet
area was separated by a door, the
oversize shower turned into a steam
room with the switch of a button. The
luxurious toiletries were from the British
brand Asprey.
ARCHITECT – KHUN LEK BUNNAG
PARKING SPACE -
With more than 280+ more parking
space, Dusit Devrana has a very nice
and antique parking space.
The walls around the valet parking area
are quite different. They are plastered
with small metallic leaves giving a bluish
glow at night. The resort is quite close to
NH 8 and the New Delhi airports. And the
leaves act as a buffer for the noise.
