How Afar Chooses Properties for Its Best New Hotels List - AFAR

"More recently, I had the opportunity to tour the Raffles London, which opened inside the legendary Old War Office. It was from here that Winston Churchill guided the British effort in World War II. With its Grand Staircase leading to the ballroom, as well as nine restaurants and a spectacular glass art installation, this magnificent structure offers both travelers and Londoners a new landmark." - Greg Sullivan

Raffles at The OWO, London Ushers in a Whole New Era of Excellence

"Set in the building’s former historic library, this high‑ceilinged, latticed‑walled dining room highlights local maritime ingredients — examples include Scottish brill topped with trout roe and a daily-catch preparation marinated in pumpkin broth — while also offering notable land-based mains such as West Country lamb and Hereford ribeye; among the chef’s concepts it presents the most relaxed and approachable dining experience." - Brad Japhe

What an amazing experience, my daughter treated me to a champagne 🍾 afternoon tea for my birthday. I felt so spoilt, the hotel and staff where top notch and this all added to the experience.

Stayed at OWO during the Boxing day to New Year period. A fantastic venue, great customer service. Items have the Raffles / OWO associated price. However, it is an experience that will remain with you.

Absolutely stunning building and it was great to spend time inside the venue taking a sneaky peak at different parts of the building knowing the history it's had and the people who worked there and their impact on world politics!

Visited the new hotel, Raffles the OWO. Outstanding conversion of the building to a high end hotel. Amazing function room space in the basement that you would never expect and really helpful staff on hand.
