First impressions count at Raffles London at the OWO

First impressions count and first impressions of the newly opened Raffles London at the OWO are of the very finest kind. The building alone is incredible - with its majestic marble staircase, ornate ceilings and triple height ceiling dome – and that is just the lobby.

The Old War Office on Whitehall is in prime position. The Grade II listed Edwardian Baroque building has been carefully restored by craftsman and the renovation retains the two cupola towers that lend the building particular distinction.

The hotel has 120 rooms and suites and 85 private residences. The Whitehall Wing, in one of the most historic parts of the building, will be available for exclusive use. Guests in the Whitehall Wing will have discrete underground parking and the services of Raffles Butlers, as is only fitting for a hotel of this quality.

The five-star service will start from the moment guests enter the premises and the concierge service will begin with a warm welcome and careful luggage handling.
