Blog your stay at Dusit Thani Manila and win prizes

MANILA, Philippines - Have you been to the all-new Dusit Thani Manila lately? Aside from the hotel’s massive renovation of all its 538 guestrooms and suites, restaurants and function rooms, there’s another exciting reason to check out and check in at Makati’s most eventful five-star property to date — the launch of “My Grandest Dusit Thani Manila Experience” blog writing contest.

With the contest, Dusit Thani Manila invites all its valued guests to share a treasure trove of discoveries about their most recent stay, from the friendliest smile the moment they set foot in the hotel’s newly renovated lobby, the gracious warmth of service inspired by the synthesis of Thai hospitality and Filipino geniality, to a wealth of distinct culinary offerings in the hotel’s seven restaurants and bars — Umu, Benjarong, Tosca, Basix, Fiesta San Miguel, Dusit Gourmet, and Lobby Lounge; and the best finds in the hotel’s neighborhood and other useful tips for family, friends and other travelers wanting to experience something new and grander in their next trip.

“When people say it’s a Dusit Thani brand, it is basically the promise to deliver a unique experience for its guests by using the gifts of heaven to create heaven on earth,” says general manager Prateek Kumar.

“Not only in Manila but in the entire Dusit International group, all our hotels are founded on a vision to create a unique experience for all our guests by drawing on the Thai culture for inspiration, giving it a contemporary expression and continually striving to redefine industry standard,” he said.

With the blog writing contest, Kumar says hotel guests “are given an exciting venue to share their personal insights and first-hand experience with us. This is for me one of the boldest steps an organization can take to continually challenge its level of excellence.”

To join, guests who avail themselves of an overnight stay in any of the hotel’s room category from June 1 to Dec. 31 are entitled to join the contest and create as many blog entries as they can using their personal blogsites.

Blog entries must have a minimum of 200 words and must include the guest’s enlivening journey at Dusit Thani Manila, supporting photos taken during the stay and other details such as date of stay, room number and name of registered guest.

Entries will be judged based on style, content and uniqueness, where five outstanding entries will win luxurious prizes that include a Presidential Suite accommodation package, membership at DFiT Fitness Center, and gift certificates from Devarana Spa and all the hotel’s participating food and beverage outlets.

“This initiative only proves our confidence in the quality of service and product we offer. Of course, perfection is a continuous endeavor. And that is something we at Dusit Thani Manila take by heart,” Kumar says.
