W Kuala Lumpur (14 June, 2017)


W Kuala Lumpur (GPS: 3.15881, 101.70965) is an upscale hotel in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Ampang, at the junction with Jalan P. Ramlee, across from KLCC, on the site that was formerly Aurora Tower. It occupies ten levels of a new 55-storey skyscraper which will also house high-end condominium units called Tropicana Residences KLCC. The hotel occupies levels 8 to 24 and has a total of 400 rooms. At time of writing (June 2017), the building has been topped off, and the hotel is expected to open for business on 31 March, 2018.

W Kuala Lumpur occupies the site of the former Bok House¹, a double-storey bungalow built in 1929 by Cycle & Carriage founder, Chua Cheng Bok. In 1958, the mansion housed Le Coq d'Or restaurant, a place for fine dining during its time. The 1.28-acre changed hands, and was purchased by property developer Dijaya Corp Bhd for RM123 million, or RM2,200 per square foot. Dijaya Corp Bhd was renamed Tropicana Corp in July 2008.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
