5-star historical hotel in London's Whitehall district

History and Architecture

Raffles London at The OWO is housed in the former Old War Office, a building significant for intelligence and espionage. The restoration preserves the Edwardian Baroque style while integrating modern amenities. Daily heritage tours take guests behind the scenes of spaces like the Minister of War's office, now a luxury suite.

Accommodations and Service

The hotel offers 120 spacious air-conditioned rooms and suites, many with city views. Each guest is assigned a Raffles Butler to handle requests from unpacking to dinner reservations. The rooms feature automated controls via an iPad, heated bathroom floors, and a choice of bedding pillows.

Dining

Nine destination restaurants and three bars are located within the hotel, including Saison, Paper Moon, and the Japanese rooftop. Three-Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco leads the culinary team, overseeing menus that span British, Mediterranean, and European cuisine. The Guards Bar serves a signature London Sling, and the underground Spy Bar, located in the former SOE planning rooms, enforces a no-camera policy.

Wellness and Spa

The Guerlain Spa offers exclusive treatments with products from the French brand, plus a 66 ft indoor pool, sauna, and steam rooms. The spa facilities include a fitness center with personal trainers, yoga classes, and a relaxation area. Couples massage, full-body massage, and beauty services are available through the spa's treatment menu.

Location and Nearby Attractions

The hotel is set in Whitehall, within 1300 ft of Embankment Underground Station. Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and Trafalgar Square are all within walking distance. Guests can also reach the theaters of the West End and the shopping districts of Regent Street and Oxford Street in a short cab ride.
