Raffles London at The OWO
London, England
The Grade-II listed Old War Office building has been transformed into the UK’s first Raffles branded hotel and private residences. Raffles London at The OWO is home to nine destination restaurants and three bars, a spa operated by Guerlain and a member’s health club by Pillar Wellbeing
Book collections for the hotel's public spaces, including the Drawing Room were curated to evoke the history of the building and its importance to London. Naturally, biographies on Winston Churchill feature but the collection also references literary London with titles included that might perhaps have appealed to the famous figures to have walked the halls at the Whitehall landmark.

We believe in the power of books to create a sense of place and new perspectives. Our bespoke book collections have a great impact on a guest’s overall experience of a hotel or resort. It’s small extras like books in rooms and library spaces that make a guest’s stay extra special, and many of our clients receive high praise for their book collections. For private clients they make a house their home.
