Built on the historic royal site of Whitehall Palace and witness to world-shaping events of the 20th Century, the first UK home for global luxury hotelier Raffles opened at the rebranded Old War Office – The OWO.
The OWO's shareholders had a clear vision for the art strategy, aiming to reflect the historical heritage and sensitivities of such a grand building while showcasing contemporary talent.
Artiq, alongside an exclusive group of institutions, artists and creative shareholders, were selected to support this vision by curating part of the overall art collection.

Our team successfully designed, procured, and curated a collection for the guestrooms, heritage suites, corridors and some notable moments within the magnificent ballroom and the new culinary destination by renowned chef Mauro Colagreco. The MICHELIN Guide awarded the hotel its highest rating of Three Keys and Architectural Digest selected it for the 2024 Hotel Great Design Awards.
Comprising 1200 artworks by over 50 artists, this collection is one of our most extensive to date, and we are excited for guests to discover the outstanding art and inspiring stories now on display within the building.

Mauro Colagreco is an Argentine chef who earned three Michelin stars at his restaurant Mirazur in Menton, France. His first London venture celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients, all sourced from Great Britain.
The new Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London has been described by the MICHELIN Guide as an "elegant, comfortable, and discreet dining room." The art on display pays homage to the restaurant's globally inspired sense of culinary exploration with the creative direction for both the art and culinary experience fusing land, colour, and flavour.

Inspiration draws from the vibrant hues of Latin America, the romantic vineyards of the French countryside, and the wildflowers and woodlands of the UK, ideal for foraging and harvesting.
