Sadly the management of DusitD2 has said that it lost four staff members in the Tuesday terror attack.

General manager Michael Metaxas said three other workers were admitted to various hospitals with injuries.

“From the 100 employees who were on duty during the attack, we can confirm that four lost their lives. Three are receiving treatment,” Metaxas told reporters on Thursday.

The hotel has in the meantime suspended its operations to give room for investigations into the attack that left a total of 21 people dead and scores of others injured.

Metaxas commended security officers for what he termed “an impeccable job” in saving the lives of staff and guests.

“Everybody arrived swiftly. The response was impeccable and the investigations so far are commendable,” he said.

Metaxas declined to reveal the actual number of guests who were booked at the hotel at the time of the attack, saying it was sensitive information.

He said security officers had asked the management not to reveal the number.

“We had a number of events at the hotel but I can’t reveal what type of conferences were there,” he said.

Metaxas said they did not have intelligence report about the attack. He said the hotel might not have been the actual target of the terrorists.
