The original Raffles Singapore does a nice line in grandeur and the brand’s first London property promises to follow suit. Fresh from a five-year restoration, the Grade II heritage listed Old War Office building in Whitehall is decked out with oak panelling, chandeliers and a sweeping marble staircase as well as nine restaurants and a Guerlain spa. The top suites, tucked into the corner turrets, feature views over the Horse Guards and St James’s Park. raffles.com
