It’s time. Competition time. Want to feel like your living the luxurious existence of James Bond (minus all the threats to life)? The site of this historic London hotel boasts a storied past riddled with espionage. Enter now to win a weekend stay at Raffles London at The OWO packed full of Michelin-starred food and luxurious spa treatments.
The Old War Office was once home to legends. Today, Raffles London at The OWO is an epic stage for modern tastemakers. Located in the heart of Whitehall, this magnificent Grade II* Edwardian Baroque building, completed in 1906, overlooks some of London’s most majestic landmarks. Its commanding walls have hosted many well-known historical figures such as Sir Winston Churchill, Lord Haldane, Earl Kitchener, John Profumo, and were the inspiration behind Ian Fleming’s elusive James Bond. Fleming himself was a regular visitor, and several 007 film scenes have been shot on location here. With its rich association with spies and espionage, the building also played host to MI5 and MI6 throughout the 20th century.
Following a monumental transformation and meticulous restoration, it is now home to Raffles London at The OWO, offering a range of rooms, suites and private residences, nine destination restaurants, and three bars. The property also houses a luxurious Guerlain Spa spanning four floors, complete with a 20-metre swimming pool, vitality pool, sauna, steam room, experience showers, nine treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, and movement studio. This former stage to many world-shaping events has opened its doors to the curious and inspired, inviting visitors to discover the truly remarkable city of London from a perspective steeped in history yet elevated by modern elegance.
Raffles London at The OWO is delighted to offer guests the chance to experience an extraordinary weekend stay, where history, gastronomy, and wellbeing come together. The stay features the Michelin-starred tasting menu at Mauro Colagreco’s celebrated restaurant, a luxurious Guerlain signature spa treatment for two, and both a speedy facial and hair treatment at the exclusive L’Atelier Guerlain, creating a truly unforgettable escape in the heart of London.
