5-star London hotel inside the former Old War Office, with a Guerlain Spa
History & Architecture
Raffles London At The OWO is housed in the former Old War Office, a building significant for intelligence and espionage that once employed over 5,000 staff. The hotel offers a daily heritage tour led by two full-time historians, covering the building's role in two World Wars and its connection to Ian Fleming's James Bond. The restoration preserves the Edwardian Baroque architectural style while integrating historical references into the decor and ambiance.

Each room includes a private bathroom with a shower, a coffee machine, a minibar, and free toiletries. Personalized guest experiences are delivered by dedicated Raffles Butlers, who are available to assist throughout the stay.
Dining & Bars
The hotel has nine destination restaurants and three bars, with culinary leadership by three Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco. Guests can dine at Saison for British, Mediterranean, and European cuisine, or at the Italian Paper Moon. The Spy Bar, located in the same halls where the SOE planned missions during WWII, offers a no-camera policy and specialty cocktails like the GoldenEye.
Wellness & Spa
The Guerlain Spa offers exclusive wellness treatments including massages, facials, and full-body treatments, with a dedicated spa lounge and relaxation area. The facility includes a 20m indoor heated pool, a sauna, a steam room, and a fitness centre with personal trainers and yoga classes. The spa is open all year and provides towels, loungers, and spa/wellness packages for guests.
