About
An icon that epitomises the romance of the Far East, Raffles Hotel Singapore is an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and colonial design. Situated in the heart of the business and civic district, this sanctuary is a veritable oasis in the city. The classic colonial architecture has been perfectly preserved and provides a stark but lively contrast against its modern-skyscraper neighbours. Raffles butlers, legendary for their charming and graceful service are available to fulfil requests both ordinary and extraordinary, making it a favourite among notable guests such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Raffles Singapore is currently undergoing a careful and sensitive restoration that is being carried out in three phases.
- Donned in history and colonial glamour
- An international landmark and the favourite haunt of a number of famed guests
- Distinctive architecture with large grounds and lush gardens
