About the Project

Guerlain Spa at Raffles London at The OWO is the spa and wellness interior designed by Goddard Littlefair within the restored Old War Office in London. The studio’s project page records appointment for the spa and two dedicated Lifestyle Suites at the Raffles Hotels and Resorts property; the historic transformation completed and the hotel opened in September 2023. Goddard Littlefair states that the Raffles hotel houses London’s first Guerlain-branded destination spa, alongside a members-only health club powered by movement specialist Pillar.

The Old War Office’s Edwardian and Neo-Baroque fabric—associated with Winston Churchill’s wartime operations and popularly linked to Ian Fleming’s Bond mythology—framed the brief: preserve and celebrate the building’s history while establishing serenity and timelessness for contemporary wellness use. The spa spans four floors, three of them subterranean, supporting privacy and seclusion. Within that envelope the studio designed wellness and gym space, spa treatment suites, a juice bar, hair salon, haute couture skin suite, a double-height swimming pool, heat-experience areas and multiple changing rooms.

Two Lifestyle Suites extend the spa language into private accommodation. Sharing a neutral palette, finishes and tone-on-tone timber accents with the spa, they support in-suite butler service, in-room spa treatments, private consultations and fitness, including flexible lounge-to-training layouts and bespoke joinery housing equipment such as weight racks and a VAHA S Fitness Mirror for guided sessions.

Co-founder Martin Goddard has described the need to separate relaxation and active zones, work within historic constraints, and keep guest journeys natural without becoming predictable. Guerlain.com could not be fetched for cross-check in this pass; inclusion rests on Goddard Littlefair’s explicit Guerlain-branded spa statement. This listing treats the project as Wellness / Spa rather than as a hotel interior, matching the published spa-and-wellness scope.
