After receiving one of their greatest hits both emotionally and financially,the management of DusitD2 has said that it lost four staff members in the Tuesday terror attack.General manager Michael Metaxas revealed three other workers were admitted to various hospitals with injuries.
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.
“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.
“They came and shot randomly. We can’t say we were the target,” he said.
He said DusitD2 management and the 14 Riverside community have unarmed officers who secure the area in shifts.
“We will assess the response and security arrangement and take necessary action,” Metaxas said.
Metaxas said all guests were safely evacuated to neighbouring hotels and that the facility had been closed down until further notice.
