Raffles London at The OWO. Opening Winter 2022/2023

Formerly Britain’s historic Old War Office, the iconic Whitehall building was once inhabited by Britain’s most famous statesmen and spies, from Winston Churchill to Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond.  In fact, many of the Bond movies had scenes filmed in the building.  We are so excited for this iconic  building to be opening as a Raffles London at the OWO – their first London hotel.

Key Points:

The hotel will have  120 rooms and suites designed by Thierry Despont.  The 85 Raffles branded residences, designed by 1508 London, will offer a complete range of Raffles services – from in-suite dining, to housekeeping and laundry, to private events.
There will be nine restaurants and 3 bars are overseen by world-class chefs, including three unique dining experiences by chef Mauro Colagreco.
For body and mind, a luxurious Guerlain Spa with nine treatment rooms offer traditional beauty therapies, complemented by a 20-metre indoor swimming pool, vitality pool, saunas and steam rooms, state of the art gym and yoga studio.
The largest event space, the Ballroom, will be accessed via the grand marbled central staircase and will take events for up to 600 people. It is complemented by extensive pre-function space and six additional meeting rooms.

The Event Spaces:

The Whitehall Ballroom:
Capacity: 600 guests seated at round tables, 574 seated theatre style, 450 guests dinner dance (flexible depending on set up), 384 classroom style.
Named after its historic Whitehall address, this spectacular ballroom is double height with ceilings of seven metres at the highest point allowing for dramatic staging and set design for the most creative of events such as product launches, conferences and parties,
Secure riggings points are built-in for advanced lighting and sound event production, meaning the space can be used for artistic productions to West End theatre-level standards.

This event space is very versatile as the Ballroom can be split into one third and two thirds.  All the structures are fully removable and movable allowing for set designs to be created, utilising all spatial directions. The Ballroom is fully sound proofed, as is the partition wall when used to separate the Ballroom into two or three spaces.
It also has the ability for a vehicle to enter the Ballroom via two car lifts.

The Lawrence
Pre-function Area: Size: 425 square metres
The Lawrence, named after Lt. T.E. Lawrence (who found fame as Lawrence of Arabia) is accessed from the main staircase.  Host a glamorous cocktail reception or a stylish lunch here, and with mobile bars and food stations for live cooking, you can create a fun and immersive theme fit for the occasion in this room.

There will be also a further 2 smaller rooms:
Morse code was widely used as a means of communication when the building operated as The Old War Office in the 20th Century.  These two meeting rooms are named as a tribute to this vital codified communication method.

Morse Meeting Room at 94 square metres
Code Meeting Room at 89 square metres
Capacities for each room: 42 theatre style, 30 boardroom style, 24 cabaret style
The spaces are versatile as the rooms can be configured in many different formats as they can be divided into a further 6 separate rooms.   Each room has a built- in wall mounted 55” LED flat screen and discreet drop-down projection facilities are available in some rooms.

Separate and private ante rooms are used for catering, meaning meeting room events and guests are separate from The Whitehall Ballroom events.
