Raffles London, at The OWO, London – England

Located in the historic 1906 Old War Office, Raffles London at The OWO opens with 120 rooms and suites. There are also 85 Residences by Raffles in the complex.
It marks the first UK hotel opening for Raffles Hotels & Resorts. The Raffles hotel journey began in 1887 with the opening of Raffles Singapore. Now part of Accor, it has upcoming openings in Bahrain this year, following recent openings in Bali, Boston and Macau.
An eight-year restoration has returned the OWO building to its original condition. Hundreds of artisans have meticulously restored heritage features including delicate hand-laid mosaic floors, oak panelling, chandeliers, and a striking marble staircase.
The hotel has been developed in partnership between the family-run Hinduja Group and Accor.
The hotel features nine restaurants and three bars. Three of the nine dining experiences will be helmed by highly renowned chef, Mauro Colagreco who is passionate about sustainable and seasonal cooking.
His signature restaurant is Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO, where there will be a particular focus on native British vegetables. Mauro’s Table is an intimate dining space for 23 guests; while his relaxed and more casual restaurant is Saison, aiming to put a contemporary spin on the traditional hotel restaurant.
The hotel includes two bars: The Guard’s Bar and Lounge, serving a signature ‘London Sling’; and The Spy Bar, located in a former interrogation room.
Additionally, The OWO features four independent restaurants including Café Lapérouse, Paper Moon, Langosteria, and a rooftop restaurant and ground-floor sake bar by Creative Restaurant Group.
