Raffles Hotel

Add to wishlist Contact us

One of the most famous hotels in the world, The Raffles is an icon of Singapore and an oasis of grand colonial style in the heart of an uber-modern city. The 115 suites remain true to the building’s heritage with high ceilings, antique furnishings and a traditional butler to serve each room.

Tropical gardens dotted with courtyards and fountains surround the hotel and a swimming pool and bar area can be found on the rooftop. Sample a Singapore Sling at the legendary Long Bar, take afternoon tea and relax in the spa.

Why we like Raffles Hotel

With such a fascinating history it really is the place to stay in Singapore. Past clients include Rudyard Kipling, Bill Clinton and Charlie Chaplin and the resident historian can regale you with stories of tigers in the bar and how the invention of the Singapore Sling cocktail came about.
