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.
