After three years of renovation, the 126-year-old colonial mansion on Sathorn Road has reopened as the city's latest drinking and eating destination.
Formerly a Russian embassy, The House on Sathorn is now part of W Bangkok next door.
The interior design pays tribute to the history of the house and takes inspiration from Russian and Thai royal glamor.
Many original features including the color scheme of the facade and interior of the house have been kept.
Signatures are cocktails with an Asian twist -- for example, Diva, a cocktail with Belvedere vodka, patron citronge, coconut water and rose and jasmine syrup.
You can't miss Namsaah Bottling Trust, a Thai-fusion bar/restaurant located in an early 20th-century villa with snow-white shutters popping against a solid-pink facade.
Previously used as a soda producer's bottling office, a bank headquarters, and a royal adviser's residence, today the building is decked out in exquisite regional fabrics, antique furnishings, and bold Oriental ornamentation.
There'sis some serious star power backing this beauty, including Thai food celebrity Ian Kittichai, whose portfolio covers successful restaurants in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Barcelona, New York, and Bangkok.
At Namsaah, the menu is playful, with dishes like salmon tartare wonton tacos.
The cocktail list features such concoctions as a tangerine negroni and Thai rose apple martini.
