Inside Raffles London at The OWO

Raffles Hotels & Resorts has made its long-anticipated debut in London, opening the doors to Raffles London at The OWO (Old War Office). Comprising a hotel and residences, spa and ballroom, alongside an array of restaurants and bars, The OWO heralds a new chapter for Whitehall.

Custodians of the building, Hinduja Group and Onex Group have been committed to the revival of the former Old War Office’s heritage features, employing the expertise of hundreds of craftsmen throughout its comprehensive eight-year restoration. From a grand staircase and striking chandelier, to mosaic-tiled floors and oak-panelled walls, Raffles London pays homage to the building’s history, with architecture and restoration led by EPR Architects.
