We are thrilled to share that our luxury hotel scheme Raffles London at The OWO has been recognised as one of AHEAD Global’s Top 10 hospitality projects of 2024. This prestigious list, curated by AHEAD’s esteemed panel of 25 industry-leading hospitality designers and developers, celebrates the best new hotel openings from around the world over the past year.
Described by the judges as ‘a modern legend that borrows from the past rather than trying to recreate it’,Raffles London at The OWO has also won four AHEAD Europe Awards; ‘Hotel Conversion’, ‘Suite’, ‘Accessibility’ and the coveted ‘Hotel of the Year.’ From the team behind industry-leading publication Sleeper Magazine, the awards celebrate exceptional design and recognise outstanding hospitality projects worldwide.
The ‘extraordinary conversion’, praised by the judges for being ‘expertly executed’, breathes new life into one of the capital's most prestigious addresses, the Old War Office. Housing 120 guest rooms — including the award-winning Granville Suite — alongside numerous restaurants, bars and a destination Guerlain spa, Raffles London at The OWO sets a new precedent for luxury hospitality design.
There was a fantastic shortlist this year, so we are incredibly honoured to be recognised. These awards are a testament to the vision, enthusiasm and strategic planning of our client, as well as the outstanding efforts of everyone who collaborated on the project — a big congratulations to all involved!
