Raffles London at the OWO has recently been named among the 'world's greatest' places by TIME. 

The list picked the 100 best places around the world ranging from hotels, cruises, restaurants, attractions, museums, parks and much more.

Creating the list, the team at TIME got nominations from its international network of correspondents and contributors as well as an application process focusing on those that offered new and exciting experiences.

Previously, the last list included 50 cities, but looking for a change, TIME focused on the establishments "that stand out in their field, and the world".

Why the Raffles London has been named the 'world's greatest'

Raffles London at the OWO is described as offering "layers on a new level of luxury" with 120 rooms that have all been "meticulously refurbished" costing $1.76 billion.

The Edwardian building was formerly a government office housing the likes of Winston Churchill and Lord Richard Burdon Haldane.

Guest can even stay in the "oak-panelled cupola suites where the iconic statesmen strategized during World War II."

Underground, rooms that were once used as high-security storage vaults have now been repurposed to help create an Ian Fleming-inspired speakeasy Spy Bar as well as the multi-level Guerlain Spa and health club.

Raffles is also home to nine restaurants and three bars throughout the OWO including the French Riviera serving fine dining and the Saison with burgers or the Kioku by Endo.
