Raffles London is located in what was the Old War Office building, known today as The OWO. It was once home to legends such as Sir Winston Churchill and Lord Haldane. Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, was a regular visitor to the building and many scenes from the 007 movies have been filmed on location here. This building's history is associated with spies and espionage as MI5 and MI6 had operations here during the 20th century. Located in the heart of Whitehall, it has been meticulously restored and is now home to Raffles London at The OWO - an Epic Stage for Modern Tastemakers.

Raffles Hotel is a British colonial-style luxury hotel in Singapore. It was established by Armenian hoteliers, the Sarkies Brothers, in 1887. The hotel was named after British statesman Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore.

It is the flagship property of Raffles Hotels & Resorts, and is managed by AccorHotels after Accor acquired FRHI Hotels & Resorts. The hotel is owned by Qatar-based, government-owned Katara Hospitality.
