Hidden from public eyes since it was built more than a century ago and steeped in James Bond-style espionage, London’s historic war office is now set to open its doors as a luxury hotel with rooms starting at around $1,200-a-night.
It’s been hidden from public eyes for more than a hundred years. But in a few weeks time, the former Old War Office in London, Whitehall will finally open its doors after a multi-million-dollar transformation. Previously home to the operations of military leaders like Winston Churchill, the property has been reinvented as the UK’s first Raffles hotel, with luxurious rooms starting at £1,000 per night.
“It was sitting there empty, costing money. So it’s a nice conversion.” While there are countless nods to the building’s history everywhere you look, including curtains with military buttons, the hotel also incorporates modern elements, such as rooms featuring bathrooms with televisions.
