Soho Hospitality’s penthouse-inspired nightclub takes home one of Bangkok nightlife’s top honors, following its Best New Design win in 2025.
BANGKOK, THAILAND — September 2026 — APT 101, the penthouse-inspired nightclub by Soho Hospitality, has been named Bangkok’s Best Nightclub at the 2026 BK B.A.D. Awards, marking another milestone for the venue since its arrival on Bangkok’s nightlife scene.
Presented by BK Magazine, the annual B.A.D. Awards celebrate standout bars, clubs and nightlife destinations shaping Bangkok after dark.
The recognition follows APT 101’s Best New Design award at the 2025 B.A.D. Awards and reflects the venue’s evolution from one of Bangkok’s most distinctive new openings into an established nightlife destination.
Inspired by the spirit of a 1970s New York penthouse, APT 101 was conceived as an alternative to the traditional nightclub, a place where music, design, hospitality and community come together under one roof. Rather than centering the experience solely around a dance floor, the venue unfolds through a collection of intimate spaces designed to feel like stepping into someone’s private apartment, before transitioning into a late-night party as the evening progresses.
Since opening, APT 101 has continued to evolve its programming through resident and guest DJs, weekly concepts, collaborations, takeovers and events, while maintaining the sense of intimacy and personality at the heart of the brand.
“Winning Bangkok’s Best Nightclub is incredibly meaningful to us, particularly after being recognized for Best New Design last year,” said Rohit Sachdev, Founder & CEO of Soho Hospitality. “APT 101 was never intended to be just another nightclub. We wanted to create a place with a real sense of identity, somewhere that feels personal, where music, design, hospitality and people all come together. This award belongs to our entire team, our artists and collaborators, and most importantly the community that has embraced APT 101 and made it what it is today.”
For Soho Hospitality, the award also reinforces its approach to creating hospitality concepts in which design is only the beginning. From the physical environment and brand identity to music, programming, service and guest experience, APT 101 was developed as a fully integrated hospitality experience.
The 2026 Best Nightclub recognition represents the next chapter for APT 101 as the venue continues to develop its programming, collaborations and creative community while remaining true to the original idea behind the brand: a penthouse-inspired nightclub where every night feels personal.
