The houses to know
- Dusit Thani Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand — When it opened on 27 February 1970, the original Dusit Thani Bangkok was both the tallest building in Thailand and the country's first internationally recognised five-star hotel; its triangular, gold-spired tower was designed by Japanese architect Yozo Shibata.

- Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo, New Cairo, Egypt — Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo sits in New Cairo's Fifth Settlement, Thai kitchens and a lake campus east of the old city, a drive from the pyramids rather than a Nile Corniche tower.
