Raffles London at The OWO

Raffles London at The OWO offers the most historic of addresses. Formerly Britain’s historic Old War Office, the iconic Whitehall building was once inhabited by Britain's most famous statesmen and spies, from Winston Churchill to Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. In fact, many of the Bond movies had scenes filmed in the building.

Today, this Grade II\* listed Old War Office has been cherished and restored by literally thousands of expert craftsmen and women and transformed into Raffles first London hotel. The lofty scale and soaring ceiling heights lend it a grandeur rarely seen in hotels.

The hotel stands on the corner of Whitehall and Horse Guards Avenue. Whitehall, the most majestic of thoroughfares, takes its name from the royal palace that once stood here and The King's Life Guards still stand guard opposite the hotel every day.

The Raffles name has been associated with the highest level of hospitality for over 130 years. Times may change, but Raffles sees the ambition of delivering perfect service – and exquisite hospitality – as it’s cherished goal.
