The Hotel

Raffles London at The OWO is situated in an historic location in the landmark Grade II listed former Old War Office on Whitehall, overlooking some of London's most majestic landmarks. The building has undergone a monumental transformation and for the first time in its history is open to the public as The OWO, a new destination with a grand Raffles Hotel including 120 luxurious rooms and suites.

Raffles London at The OWO has 120 keys. There are 39 suites in total, many with superb interconnectivity and awe-inspiring views. The five Heritage Suites are much storied rooms and were once offices inhabited by some of Great Britain’s leading politicians and military leaders including Lord Haldane, Winston Churchill, and his favourite spy, Christine Granville.  The eight Corner Suites are in the majestic cupolas overlooking Whitehall which give The OWO its dramatic roofline, while the 13 Ministerial Suites and 11 Westminster Suites are in grand rooms with exceptional views. The aesthetic of the 81 guest rooms was conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the classic Edwardian style befitting the history and splendour of the Old War Office Building.

The Location

Raffles London enjoys an unrivalled location. Whitehall, the epicentre of British Government is a sophisticated neighbourhood with a central location and within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Westminster, art galleries, theatres and the nightlife of Soho and Covent Garden.
