Raffles London at The OWO

My daughter & I celebrated her 21st birthday over the “ Secrets & Spies” afternoon tea in the drawing room at Raffles, London. Everything was impeccable, so delicious & so much fun! Krina was our server, she is just darling & so efficient & personable. After tea, Victoria gave us a private tour of the OWO, we ended our day at the “ Spy Bar.” Such a cool experience. Joshua was our server, just fabulous. We highly recommend a trip to this hotel. We cannot wait to return!! Highly recommend.

The Spy Bar: Licensed to thrill You don't find The Spy Bar. You are cleared to enter it. A tiny '007' on a door in the bowels of the Old War Office - the very corridors where Ian Fleming dreamt up Bond. A sticker over your phone camera, and then silence. No photos. No signal. Just secrets. It's a true subterranean speakeasy - low-lit, exposed brick, red-velvet banquettes, and the unmistakable silver flank of an Aston Martin DB5 sunk into the back bar wall. You can almost hear the typewriters of the SOE and the rustle of forged passports - this vault once stored every spy file in Britain. But don’t tell too many others, afterall, it’s a matter of national security!

We are so glad we gave Raffles OWO a second chance as our first stay had some issues with our room, shortly after hotel opened. This visit was perfect! The room was excellent, all the staff was fantastic from the front desk, to Drawing Room to concierge. We felt very welcomed and special so we didn’t want to leave. One of the best hotels in London!

Another stay at one of our favourite hotels in the world and yet again, truly stunning. From driving into the courtyard, to our bags being loaded into our car to go, the stay was flawless.
