About The Bar at The House on Sathorn
The Bar at The House on Sathorn at W Bangkok is nestled within a historic venue that is known as one of Bangkok's most evocative spaces. Stately columns, subtle lighting and leather furniture pay homage to The House on Sathorn's neoclassical architecture, complementing crafted drinks and cocktails and indulgent bar bites in an exclusive setting like no other in 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.
