Construction of the Dusit Thani Dubai began in 1998 and was completed in 2001. [1] Designed by the architecture firm Khatib and Alami and built by Al Habtoor, the 153-metre tower is notable for its large arch, which rises 282 feet and meets at the 24th floor. [1]

In 2014, the hotel completed a major renovation of 147 suites. [2] Further refurbishments included the redesign of the Benjarong restaurant, which reopened in 2021 following renovations. [3]

In 2022, the property was repositioned as a dry hotel and introduced NoLo, the first non-alcoholic bar in Dubai. [4]

In 2025, the hotel took part in World Alzheimer's Month by illuminating its façade in purple and hosting events to raise awareness about dementia care. [5]
