It is located on North Sathorn road, opposite the Empire Tower and an office tower.[3] W Bangkok is connected with The House on Sathorn (Sathorn Mansion), which serves as a dining and entertainment venue for the hotel.[4]
The House on Sathorn was built in 1889 during the reign of King Rama V. It was originally owned by Luang Sathorn Rajayutka, a wealthy Chinese businessman who developed Sathon Canal. In 1920s, the home was converted into The Hotel Royal. From 1948 to 1999, it served as the Russian embassy.[5] In the 2000s, the mansion underwent renovation as part of W Bangkok. In 2015, this 127-year-old mansion officially opened as The House on Sathorn, a new dining venue in Bangkok[6]
