British Queen celebrates

 

London's luxury hotel scene is thriving, with several high-end establishments recently opening their doors, including The Peninsula London, The Emory, and Raffles

London at The OWO. Now, one of these newcomers has earned a spot on the prestigious list of the world's top hotels.

The 2024 World's 50 Best Hotels list was revealed last night at an event in London, with three of the city’s hotels making the cut. This morning, teams at The Connaught (ranked 46), Claridge's (ranked 11), and Raffles London at The OWO are celebrating their recognition. Raffles London at The OWO also secured the Lavazza Highest New Entry Award, praised as a "truly sumptuous new addition to London’s thriving hotel scene."

Outside of London, only one other UK hotel made the list: Gleneagles in Scotland. The top spot for 2024 went to Capella Bangkok.
