The 2023 conversion of the Old War Office on Whitehall, Mauro Colagreco's Michelin-starred Saison, a Guerlain spa, and the most ambitious new opening in the city.
Raffles London opened in September 2023 inside the Edwardian Old War Office on Whitehall, the building Churchill ran the war from, now 120 hotel rooms and 85 private residences after a decade-long Hinduja-family conversion. Nine restaurants, three bars, a Guerlain spa, and Mauro Colagreco's Saison which holds a Michelin star. World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. The room product is enormous, Whitehall facade suites are the largest hotel rooms in central London, and the public spaces are the closest London now has to Paris's Cheval Blanc. For the audience that has done Mayfair five times and wants the next thing.
Book a Whitehall-facing Heritage Suite, the Horse Guards Parade view rooms are quieter and more interesting than the Whitehall side traffic suggests. Saison is the Mauro Colagreco room and needs three weeks; the Drawing Room afternoon tea is the easier reservation. Guards Bar and Spy Bar are different rooms, Spy Bar is the late-night one.
