Raffles London at The OWO *****

One of the world's most historic addresses, set within London's former Old War Office, now transformed into a 5-star hotel.

• A cathedral of relaxation spread across 27,000 sq ft and four floors, the Guerlain Spa offers traditional and innovative beauty therapies, alongside a 20m indoor pool, vitality pool, sauna, steam rooms and sensory showers.
• A temple of gastronomy with nine restaurants, including Chef Mauro Colagreco's Michelin-starred venue. For a drink with secrets, head to the Spy Bar, once MI5's domain, now serving cocktails under strict confidentiality.
• A legendary building that once housed figures like Sir Winston Churchill, where the rooms honour Edwardian architecture with a contemporary twist: timeless, understated and quietly spectacular.

⭐️ The highlight: MI5 and MI6 ran secret operations within its walls. Stepping inside still feels like entering a cinematic world of power and intrigue.
