Welcome to Raffles London
You have arrived at The OWO, where the heritage of Whitehall meets the alluring glamour of Raffles. The legendary name’s first London hotel and spa occupies 120 rooms and suites within an Edwardian Baroque landmark at the epicentre of British life.

The Despont Signature
A masterwork by the late Thierry Despont – the visionary behind the Ritz Paris and the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. His final London commission reimagines Edwardian grandeur for a contemporary age. Custom-woven carpets, hand-commissioned wallhangings and handsome furnishings converse with the building’s magnificent architecture. A setting, exquisitely composed, for the next hundred years of stories.

Impeccably trained and animated by a fresh vision, the Raffles London Butlers are your loyal companions throughout every stay – curating distinctive journeys, anticipating the unspoken, delivering each gesture with effortless grace. In the enduring tradition of Raffles: arrive as a guest, leave as a friend, return as family.
