Hinduja Group Launches ‘OWO Residences’ in London

The Hinduja Group has partnered with world-renowned Raffles Hotels & Resorts, who will be operating the 125-room and suite flagship hotel at The OWO, as well as the 85 branded residences. The service synonymous with the prestigious Raffles brand - gracious and intuitive staff, personalised attention and a timeless ambience - will be delivered seamlessly to the residents of The OWO and will set a new benchmark in London. The OWO (Old War Office) was acquired by The Hinduja group in 2014, working with a team of experts, including Historic England and Museum of London Archaeology, and appointed EPR Architects to oversee the intricate redevelopment of the iconic building. The interiors of the hotel are designed by New York based French architect and designer, Thierry Despont, who specializes in unique and high end designed residential projects, hotels and historical renovations. The OWO directly faces Horse Guards and is adjacent to the stunning 57-acres of St. James’s Park. Residents, hotel guests and visitors will be a short stroll from Buckingham Palace, The National Gallery, The Tate and The Royal Academy, as well as the sought-after shopping streets of Regents Street, Bond Street and Jermyn Street. Sales are via Knight Frank and Strutt & Parker. Prices for a two-bedroom residence start from £5.8million. Media tours of the newly opened Marketing Gallery Suite at 5 St James’s Square can be arranged on request. Gopichand P Hinduja, Co-Chairman, Hinduja Group said, "Launching sales of these extraordinary residences is a significant milestone for us as a family and for the project team at The OWO - it’s one step closer to opening the storied building to the public for the first time where branded residences will sit alongside a flagship Raffles hotel.”
