When you step inside, you can't miss the awesome staircase where it immediately draws you into this luxury hotel. Upon check-in, you get a personal tour of the hotel and facilities. Our room had very high-end, quality decor. You feel so special. My husband enjoyed their heated swimming pool every day. There are 5 restaurants. We reserved an Afternoon Tea which they had a large selection of tea to choose from, the tea sandwiches were yummy, but the tea desserts were all representative to the successful British Operation Mincemeat of WWII. The taste were divine and definitely picture worthy. We attended the guided tour of the historical 2nd floor where the ministry of defense (Churchill at the time) conducted all their secret meetings. The guide was very knowledgeable of history events. We stayed for 3 nights, wish we could've stayed longer.
Dear Ms Y.,
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful account of your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO.
It was a pleasure to read how fully you and your husband experienced the hotel during your three nights with us, from the architecture and historic surroundings to the swimming pool and Afternoon Tea. I am especially pleased that our Operation Mincemeat-inspired Afternoon Tea made such a memorable impression.
Your recognition of the Concierge colleague who conducted the historical tour is particularly appreciated. The history of The OWO is an extraordinary part of the guest experience, and I will be delighted to share your comments with the team.
As a valued ALL Classic member, thank you also for your loyalty and generous recommendation.

Everything was wonderful. The only item that fell short was the pool temperature which was too warm for exercise, especially for someone managing heart conditions. Our experiance at other top hotels such as Four Seasons is that they typically regulate water temperature around 84-86°F being an ideal, low-stress target. The room (419) was excellent and we sincerely appreciated the upgrade. Suggestion would be to add sound dampening panels in the skylight like the ones on the windows. Street noise and Big Ben could be heard pretty clearly at night. We will be back!
Dear Mr S.,
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback following your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO.
I was pleased to know that you had such an enjoyable visit and particularly appreciated your room upgrade, as well as the warm welcome and introduction to the hotel provided by our Reception colleague.
Your observations regarding the pool temperature and sound insulation around the skylight are also valuable, and I have shared them with the relevant teams for consideration.

From the moment we arrived at Raffles OWO, we were treated like VIP’s. We were greeted by Arlinda who went “over and beyond” to ensure our stay was perfect. We were treated like royalty and upgraded to the Clementine Suite which was something special to experience.

Stayed for one night but made the most of it - had 90 mins in the Spa and then an early dinner in Saison before heading out for a show. In the morning had a fantastic breakfast in the drawing room and my advice to anyone who does have breakfast there is to request "fried bread" - it was perfect.
The room was a little clinical though the bed was amazingly comfortable and the Ipad controlling all the room's features was clever and saves time searching for all the light switches. There was no mirror next to a socket to enable my wife to do hair and makeup so had to request a vanity mirror - can't understand why that has not been addressed
Dear Mr J.,
Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback following your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO.
I was pleased to know that, despite only being with us for one night, you were able to enjoy so much of the hotel, from the Spa and Saison to breakfast in The Drawing Room. Your generous comments regarding the warmth, knowledge and professionalism of our colleagues are particularly appreciated.
I have also noted your observations regarding the room design, particularly the positioning of a mirror in relation to a power socket, together with your comment regarding the number of towels provided. Both are useful points and will be shared with the relevant teams.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your return to Raffles London at The OWO.
I was sorry to learn that this visit did not match the standard of your previous stays, particularly with the service errors in Saison, the delays on departure and the recurrence of an issue with your bill that you had specifically asked us to avoid.
I am pleased, however, that you continued to enjoy the Spa and The Spy Bar, and that our Front Door colleagues once again made such a positive impression.
I was pleased to have the opportunity to contact you directly regarding your experience and to discuss your feedback with you personally.
As a valued ALL Diamond member and returning guest, we greatly appreciate your continued loyalty and candid comments. I very much hope that your next visit will restore the confidence you have previously placed in us.
Yours sincerely,
Olivier Thomas

Wonderful stay, everything was perfect - the room, the food, Guards Bar and the Spy Bar. Ellie from the Reception Desk — who walked us to the room and helped us settle in was amazing! She explained all of the details and shared with us some of the history of the hotel and where Churchill stood each morning to give his briefing. She made sure we were comfortable and was a true host.
Dear Mr S.,
Thank you for sharing such generous feedback following your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO.
I was delighted to know that you and your partner enjoyed everything from your room and dining experiences to The Guards Bar and Lounge and The Spy Bar.
Your recognition of Ellie is particularly appreciated. The way she welcomed you, introduced you to the room and brought the history of the building to life clearly made a lasting impression, and I will be delighted to share your kind words with her.
It is also wonderful to know that the warmth of our wider team stood out so strongly during your visit.
Thank you again for your highest rating and recommendation. We very much hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you both back to Raffles London at The OWO.
Yours sincerely,

On my second visit, my husband and I were treated like the family's favorite visiting relatives. A special shout out of gratitude to the enchanting Lubika and Patrick in the breakfast room, who brought cheer and sparkle to every morning meal along with the disarmingly shy young waiter who proffered surprise treats from the kitchen, and Daniel and Emile at the concierge desk, who both went the extra mile to point us to that unfindable bookshop alley off Charing Cross, nab us a booking in the historic room at Langosteria and find us train times to the Rothschild estate out of town. Whether going for a swim at the ginormous pool, going for breakfast in the garden-like Saison, seeking out information from the marvelous concierges, or just getting set in the right direction by a staff member (who magically knows your name) when you get turned around in the hotel's labyrinth of hallways, you are treated with a warmth and genuineness that never spills into heavy-handed deference or sycophancy. We stayed, like last time, in an Executive Room. I had asked in advance for a room with more sunlight than the room in my first visit, which was on the fourth floor, and the staff complied with a monumentally high-ceilinged Executive room on the second floor. The tradeoff was losing the walk-in shower that came with the fourth floor room, but the added light and lofty dimensions more than compensated. The delicious perk of the room was being just across the hall from the high-celilinged and homey Poppy Suite, which was like having our own royal living room, replete with its array of couches, books, newspapers, gameboards and its marvelous, sky-reaching glass poppy installation. The gym is amply equipped and the pool/spa area is vast and calming, and usually (except for one day, which felt like July 4th at Jones Beach) sparsely populated, We went for a swim every morning before breakfast, when it is at its quietest and most inviting. The surprise luxury amenities, like the surround showers and swimsuit spin dryer, extended to our bedroom (who knew how wonderful it would be to have a TV implanted in the bathroom mirror?). If anything, the hospitality can err on the side of hyper-generosity. We had requested a couple of chocolates or biscuits with a glass of milk before bed, and every evening upon returning from dinner or the theater we were greeted by a veritable banquet of chocolates and biscuits on our coffee table, to the point that we found ourselves hoarding them in the fridge for the trip home so as not to go to waste. Much as I love the elegance of the Savoy, Raffles' older sister in the Accor chain across from Covent Garden, Raffles offers commensurate opulence and its Whitehall location affords you even better proximity to the National Gallery, the Thames' Uber boats, the Southbank theaters and museums and Westminster Abbey without having to negotiate the dissolute honky-tonk of the Strand.
Dear Mr S.,
It was a pleasure to welcome you and your husband back to Raffles London at The OWO, and thank you for sharing such a thoughtful account of your second stay with us.
Your description of being welcomed like favourite visiting relatives is a wonderful reflection of the genuine warmth we hope our colleagues bring to every interaction. I was especially pleased to read your recognition of Lubika, Patrick, Daniel and Emile, as well as the young colleague who added those unexpected touches to your breakfasts. I will be delighted to share your comments with them.
I am also glad that we were able to accommodate your preference for a brighter Executive Room and that the additional light and character of the second-floor accommodation proved such a positive choice. Your observation regarding wardrobe space has been noted, as has your very good-humoured comment about our enthusiasm with the evening chocolates and biscuits.
It is equally rewarding to know how much you enjoyed Saison, the pool and spa, our Concierge service and the many smaller details throughout the hotel.
As a valued ALL Gold member and returning guest, we sincerely appreciate your continued loyalty and generous recommendation. We very much look forward to welcoming you both back again.
Yours sincerely,
Olivier Thomas

Thank you for your hospitality. I felt like at home with wonderful people and staff. Swimming pool and spa area let you completely relax and recharge.
Dear Mr K.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO.
I was delighted to know that you felt so warmly welcomed and that our pool and spa provided the opportunity to fully relax and recharge during your visit.
Your recognition of the colleague who introduced you to your room, together with our Spa team, is particularly appreciated and will be shared with them.
Thank you also for your comment regarding the bathroom amenities. As part of our sustainability approach, items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and razors are available upon request rather than being placed automatically in every room, as many guests travel with their own and this helps us reduce unnecessary waste. I do appreciate, however, that this may not have been immediately clear during your stay. I have therefore added an instruction to your guest profile for these amenities to be placed in your room ahead of future visits.
Thank you again for your exceptional rating and recommendation. We very much hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Raffles London at The OWO.
Yours sincerely,
Olivier Thomas
