The Old War Office was once home to Legends. Today, Raffles London at The OWO is an epic stage for modern tastemakers. Located in the heart of Whitehall, The OWO overlooks some of London’s most majestic landmarks. This commanding building has been home to many well known historical figures such as Sir Winston Churchill, Lord Haldane, Earl Kitchener and John Profumo, and was the inspiration behind Ian Fleming’s elusive James Bond. For the very first time, this former stage to many world-shaping events opens its doors to the curious and to the inspired and is a most powerful address to discover the truly remarkable city of London from an entirely new perspective.
The five Heritage Suites are situated in the building’s most storied rooms, formerly offices of influential political and military leaders that have been passionately and meticulously restored to preserve their many glorious heritage features. With spectacular views and incredible histories, the Heritage Suites are absolutely beyond compare.
The hotel interiors are by famed designer Thierry Despont, who had an impeccable pedigree for sensitively transforming landmark buildings and for cleverly reimagining spaces with history and heritage at their core.
The OWO and Raffles London take drinking and dining to new heights curating a diverse range of nine restaurants and three bars including three exclusive dining venues by acclaimed chef Mauro Colagreco. Raffles London is also home to The Guards Bar, a sumptuous wood panelled cocktail & champagne bar overlooking Horse Guards, and The Drawing Room, where London’s rich history and wide-ranging cuisine are honoured and inspired by tradition. For those seeking the more mysterious, The Spy Bar is the hotels subterranean bar, hidden in the depths of the Old War Office and accessed through halls once frequented by the clandestine Secret Service.
Spanning four levels, this urban sanctuary for holistic wellness strikes the perfect balance between the sumptuous indulgence provided by Guerlain and the highly bespoke training, nutrition and recovery programmes developed exclusively by Pillar. With nine treatment rooms, a 20-meter indoor swimming pool, vitality pool, sauna and steam rooms, state-of-the-art gym and movement studio, Raffles London is where the most exceptional well-being experiences are brought to life.
Raffles London at The OWO occupies a magnificent Grade II* Edwardian Baroque building in Whitehall, the epicentre of British Government. A sophisticated neighbourhood with a central location, Whitehall is close to Waterloo and Charing Cross train terminals, and accessible however you choose to arrive. The River Thames, Horse Guards Parade, Buckingham Palace, St James’s Park, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey are all within walking distance, and the West End theatres and the nightlife of Covent Garden and Soho are only a heartbeat away.
Chef Mauro’s signature restaurant, a one-of-a-kind culinary experience that brings the excellence of the British terroir to the table with both humility and passion. Tracing a path through the English countryside and its beautiful gardens, his menu reveals more than 70 varieties of vegetable and fruit, all produced in Britain. With hyper-seasonality as one of his guiding lights, he sources flavourful ingredients from close by, forging warm relationships with local producers in the UK.
In an atmosphere of relaxed refinement, Saison offers all-day dining in delicious Mediterranean style. Masterminded by starred Argentine-Italian chef Mauro Colagreco, the menus showcase seasonal ingredients curated with Mediterranean simplicity to allow the flavours to sing. Breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch and dinner are served in this beautiful uplifting space, atmospherically bathed in natural daylight from its lovingly restored historic glass ceiling.
A splendid new watering hole for London, The Guards Bar is on the ground floor with its own separate entrance facing Horse Guards, the official entrance to Buckingham Palace. This is the hotel's main bar for guests and visitors looking to raise a bumper and enjoy sociable drinks with friends surrounded by the majestic pomp and circumstance of Whitehall.
Pillar Kitchen offers an abundance of healthy sweet and savoury snacks, fresh juices and smoothies, coffees and dishes of the day for eating in or taking away. Its nutrition-led approach is an integral part of the holistic wellness activities led by Pillar Wellbeing at Raffles London at The OWO.
Taking up residence in a striking modern pavilion in the courtyard of The OWO is a first London outpost of this enchantingly glamorous Parisian institution. Start your day here with a menu of Parisian breakfast signatures, and end with a fine dining experience featuring firm favourites from the Paris original, along with a generous helping of joie de vivre.
A stately British drawing room reimagined, with contemporary furnishings set against historic architectural details, wood panelling, an original fireplace and a grand piano to keep guests entertained. Make a beeline here for Raffles Afternoon Tea, all-day snacks, cocktails, fine wine or a glass of champagne, all overlooking historic Whitehall through four mahogany sash windows – where the smart mounted Household Cavalry guards the official entrance to Buckingham Palace.
