W Bangkok today announced the opening of The
House on Sathorn, heralding a new chapter in the Thai capital’s exquisite
dining and nightlife scene.
W HOTEL IS JUST NEXT TO HOUSE OF SATHORN
Located at the bustling Sathorn and Narathiwas
intersection, adjacent to W Bangkok, The House comprises four majestic
buildings that boast neo-classic architecture reconfigured as a stylish
multi-venue entertainment complex, revealing Bangkok’s intriguing mélange of
international influences.
The House on
Sathorn brings extraordinary versatility to a single site – truly an open house
for pleasure.
THE COURTYARD
The colorful landmark building encompasses the signature
restaurant The
Dining Room; The Bar for after-work drinks and more; The
Courtyard, a bistro for al fresco dining, including afternoon tea; and Upstairs,
an exclusive club lounge with live music and DJs as well as four hospitality
suites and private function spaces for exclusive dinners, private events and
meetings.
THE BAR
THE BAR
ENTRANCE
Managed by experienced food and beverage teams, the building keeps
with its former function as a residence and hotel.
Its interior design concepts
retain the opulence of the gilded ages while modern elements, including
contemporary Thai artwork such as tapestries, paintings, photography and
sculpture, come into play, injecting modern vibrancy into old world glamour.
“We are so
thrilled with the debut of The House on Sathorn, a house whose colorful
appearance is matched with its indisputable legacy,” said Ms. Tina Liu, General
Manager, W Bangkok.
“The House has been re-imagined as a sensory-rich,
multi-venue complex, offering artisanal Asian-inspired cuisine, creative
cocktails and spectacular restored artwork – all infused with a buzzing,
energized vibe.”
Reviving
a Landmark in the Heart of Bangkok
Built in 1889
during the reign of King Rama V, The House’s neo-classical structure originally
housed wealthy businessman Luang Sathorn Rajayutka, who created Sathorn Canal.
The home was later passed down to his descendants.
In the early 1920s, the site
was converted into the majestic Hotel Royal. Later, from 1948 to 1999, the
building served as the Russian Embassy.
Recognizing the
immense historic value of the house, the development team worked closely with
Thailand’s Fine Arts Department to carefully restore the home to its former
glory, as part of the conversion to The House on Sathorn.
Major renovations
were conducted on the four buildings and large courtyard, keeping the original
main structure intact. Meanwhile, inside, the original color palette, intricate wooden
staircases and even the Sathorn Rajayutka family’s personalized fresco motifs
have all been meticulously restored by the Fine Arts Department.
The compelling
juxtaposition of contemporary components and new elements reflect the boundless
creativity of renowned design firm AvroKO of New York.
Chef
Fatih Tutak
Originally hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, Director of
Culinary Fatih Tutak oversees all food and drink operations at The House on Sathorn.
The chef’s distinctive menus are inspired by his extensive travels in Asia and
beyond. Constantly seeking new recipes and preparation methods, Chef Fatih
communicates with guests through the mediums of flavor, texture and color – and
more than a dash of good humor.
“My culinary interest was inspired at a young age by
my mother’s home cooking, which developed into a passion and fuelled my dream
of becoming a chef,” explains Chef Fatih.
“Combining the finest seasonal
ingredients from Asia, each dish also reflect my love of travel and delight in
the discovery of new things.
This ‘fun dining’ concept perfectly balances technique, culinary sensibility and a sense of lightheartedness, which is well aligned with the house’s narrative.”

Chef Fatih comes to The House on Sathorn after
creating a unique dining experience at The Bellbrook Hong Kong, recognized by
the Hong Kong-Macau Michelin Guide 2015.
Other stints include the world-renowned restaurant NOMA in Copenhagen and 3 Michelin-starred Nihonryori Ryugin in Tokyo.

He also served as the Executive Sous Chef at Marina Bay Sands
in Singapore, among other celebrated establishments.
Indulge and Imbibe
Given Chef Fatih’s
globetrotting background, guests are treated to a refreshing culinary journey
at The Dining Room. The morning fish market in Tokyo, for example, forms
the story behind a blue fin tuna dish called “Early Morning at Tsukiji Market”,
while Thai style grilled banana becomes a gastronomic treat with Okinawan sugar
and liquid nitrogen.
Such dishes comprise the New Asian Cuisine menu,
which features a strong focus on creative and innovative Asian-inspired dishes.
Outside, The
Courtyard offers a sanctuary from the bustling Bangkok streets with a
relaxing outdoor dining space that presents rustic, simple yet hearty and
fulfilling dishes. Guests can retreat with an afternoon tea session inspired by
patisserie Chef Nicolas Descriaux.
The culinary
vision of Chef Fatih also extends to mixology and craft cocktails. The Bar
on the ground level concocts cocktails with an Asian twist, as well as serves
champagne, sake, wines and tempting bites to start off the night.
Upstairs
welcomes Bangkok’s movers and shakers to mix and mingle amid upbeat, energetic
party vibes with DJs and an occasional live band.
Events Elevated
The House on
Sathorn also boasts seven function spaces, including four hospitality suites.
Conservatory, the largest such space at 99 square meters, features an extended
outdoor area ideal for a cocktail reception or casual gathering of up to 120
people.
Other spaces, ranging from 30 to 45 square meters, can be configured
for any elevated event, including private parties, dinners and luxury product
launches.
