Mornings begin with a Raffles Chinese Breakfast, setting an easy rhythm for the day, while evenings come together over a celebratory dinner at Saison by Mauro Colagreco, with Champagne and a lively atmosphere.
Time at the hotel is part of the please, with generous rooms, quiet corridors and the easy pace of life inside The OWO encouraging guests to slow down and enjoy their time here.
A Selfridges Moment
A highlight of A Lunar Celebration is the private shopping experience with Selfridges. Guests are welcomed into The Selfridges Lounge for Champagne before meeting a dedicated personal shopper. Guests can browse and explore, with selected purchases wrapped and delivered directly back to their room at Raffles London. VSP Concierge services and global tax-free shopping ensure the experience is smooth and seamless.

Inside The OWO
Raffles London at The OWO has quickly become one of the capital’s most talked-about hotel openings, earning its place on the global stage with a 13th-place ranking on The World’s 50 Best Hotels list in 2025. It’s a recognition that reflects not just the address, but the experience inside.
Once a centre of British power, The OWO has been reimagined as a destination in its own right. Across five expansive floors sit 81 beautifully designed rooms and 39 suites, each sensitively reworked by celebrated designer Thierry Despont. Original architectural features remain, layered with contemporary design to create spaces that feel impressive yet inviting. This building is rich with history, but entirely suited to modern living.
Many of the suites carry stories of their own. The five Heritage Suites occupy former offices of influential political figures, while the Ministerial and Westminster Suites offer exceptional views and distinctive details unique to each space. Eight Corner Suites sit beneath the building’s iconic cupolas overlooking Horse Guards, each named after remarkable women and female spies, adding a sense of intrigue to an already unforgettable setting.
Dining is led by Mauro Colagreco, the legendary chef behind the three-Michelin-starred Mirazur, bringing exceptional ingredients and mouthwatering flavours to every table. From relaxed breakfasts and leisurely lunches to beautifully presented afternoon tea and refined evening dining, each restaurant offers an experience to suit the moment. Menus are flavour-driven and carefully executed, making every meal feel special.
