Bangkok-based operator Dusit International has lost the management contract for its only Princess-branded hotel outside of Thailand, the four-star Dusit Princess City Centre Dubai, which opened in 2010. 

UK-based operator Mondo Hospitality has taken over management of the property, which will be renamed Suha City Hotel, Hotelier Middle East can reveal. 

“As of 30th November 2011 Dusit Princess City Centre Dubai will no longer be managed by Dusit International. The property will continue to operate after this time under the management of Mondo Hospitality and will be renamed the Suha City Hotel,” former general manager Nick Bauer, who joined the hotel in February, said in a statement sent to the hotel's business partners.
