Raffles Singapore

Since first opening its doors in 1887, Raffles Hotel Singapore has embodied the romance of the Far East with an authority no newcomer can replicate. Set in the heart of the Civic District, the hotel’s white colonnaded facade remains a national icon. Inside, liveried Sikh doormen usher guests into the Grand Lobby, where the sense of history is palpable. Polished teak verandas wind past tropical gardens toward suites that marry heritage detail with state-of-the-art comfort. Each guest is attended by the legendary Raffles Butlers, whose 24-hour service remains the gold standard of hospitality in Singapore. No stay is complete without a Singapore Sling—invented here and best enjoyed at the Long Bar.
