Our luxury hotel scheme Raffles London at The OWO has been named "Hotel of the Year" at the prestigious AHEAD Europe Awards. The adaptive reuse of Churchill's War Office into a luxury destination also won awards for "Hotel Conversion," "Suite," and "Accessibility."
More than eight years in the making, The OWO resides in one of London's most historically significant addresses: the Grade II* listed Old War Office. This historic building, which witnessed world-shaping events of the twentieth century, has undergone a monumental transformation under the ownership of The Hinduja Group and Onex Holding.
It is a technically and logistically complex project that required close collaboration between the design and construction teams to continually push the limits of what’s possible when working with such a historically significant building.
We are immensely proud that the scheme has been recognised. It's a true testament to the Hinduja Group's vision, EPR's design, and the countless talented contractors who helped shape this landmark project.
