Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket unveils new look Laguna Café

Bangkok, 18 December 2014 – Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket officially unveils its new look Laguna Café, following a THB 6 million refurbishment and extension carried out over the last few months.

Laguna Café has been redesigned with Phuket's Old Town as an inspiration. Create Great Design Co., Ltd. used the area's Sino-Portuguese architectural heritage to inform the design, and throughout the café there are distinctive elements such as: textured, weathered woods; chairs and cushions upholstered with oriental-style fabrics; painted floor tiles and fine porcelain pieces. Artwork has been chosen to reflect the resort's storied history with images of members of the Thai royal family, international heads of state and celebrities adorning the walls.

An open show kitchen adds a fun, interactive element to the space and an extensive al fresco dining area with views across the swimming pool and lush tropical gardens now accommodates 176 guests. The vibrant venue offers a creative all-day dining offering, highlighting comfort foods from Portuguese, Chinese and Thai cuisines, coupled with the signature warm Dusit hospitality.

"We are delighted to launch our new Laguna Café just in time to celebrate our 27 years in business". We are confident that resort guests and Phuket residents alike will thoroughly enjoy what is on offer. The new Laguna Café is charming and welcoming with something for every taste, and the service is exceptional and efficient," said, Mr Denis Thouvard, General Manager.
