Starwood Hotels and Resorts is set to launch W Bangkok hotel in December - its second W property in Thailand.

Located on the North Sathorn Road, the hotel will feature 407 guestrooms including 32 suites.

The hotel will also house an Away Spa and a Sweat Fitness Centre as well as a wet outdoor heated pool.

W Bangkok will form part of the Golden Land's Sathorn Square, a mixed-use project that includes a 750,00sq ft office tower and a variety of retail shops, centred at the Russian Embassy complex.

Designed by Thai-based architects Soda, the hotel will combine a 31-floor modern glass tower with a mix of Thai heritage and modern Western influence.

A range of restaurants and bars will be on offer including The Kitchen Table, offering traditional Thai cuisine and the Woobar featuring an in-house DJ.

Ross Klein, president of Starwood's Luxury Brands Group, said: "Set against the magnificent backdrop of Thailand's thriving cosmopolitan metropolis, W Bangkok will reflect the excitement, energy and sophistication of its surroundings.

"From Bangkok to Buckhead, South Beach to St. Petersburg, W is going global as the influential and innovative lifestyle authority."

W Bangkok follows the 2010 opening of W Retreat & Spa Koh Samui, located in the Gulf of Thailand.
