The hotel

Raffes Singapore has come to be known as one of the country’s most iconic landmarks. Retaining its striking architecture, unbeatable hospitality and excellent facilities — along with its elegant touches and colonial charm — the magic will start the minute you step through its palm-fringed doors. Meander around the hotel’s lushly landscaped gardens, relax with a treatment in the Raffles Spa - site of the utmost tranquility - or head to the Arcade to while away the hours browsing through speciality boutiques and the Raffles Gift Shop for souvenirs and gourmet gifts. If you need to cool off head to the rooftop swimming pool and a lovely place to relax. The hotel’s Long Bar is renowned for its world-famous Singapore Slings while the new Writers Bar will present bespoke craft cocktails, wines and spirits. Discover the best mooncakes in Singapore at Raffles Singapore, head to Tiffin Room for authentic North Indian cuisine or a quintessential Afternoon Tea in the heart of the restored lobby and allow yourself to be transported back to the hotel's golden days by the early 20th century décor and ambience.

we have been here a few times before. it’s fair to say: this place has seen better times. like: it’s quite usual to get a moist towel and a drink upon arrival. pls have a look at our “welcome drink” (photo) - no towels here. the “butler service” has gone downhill. a guy makes a token appearance and is never seen again. you request a call from yr butler - nobody calls. you request a visit by yr butler - nobody comes. you can still call guest service like everywhere else - and the girls will answer as yr “butler” - haha ! you send an email to the “lobbyambassador” - they cannot find it. you request the repair of the phone. it’s never done. only good there is a second one. service at breakfast time is slooow-ish. big confusion about which order is for which table. meanwhile you are entertained by tourist groups wandering thru taking pictures of you sitting there waiting for yr coffee. what can I say: not good enough for 5 points, almost only 3 points. time to shape up.

Since our last visit some years ago, Raffles has really upped its game. What an extraordinary hotel it is now. Everyone knew our name from arrival to departure and never failed to make us feel like honoured guests rather than paying customers. We were greeted by the Resident Historian one breakfast and it was a real privilege to meet him. Everything about this hotel is exceptional and I really cannot recommend it highly enough. If it’s within your reach, you should really stay there. The hotel complex now stretches over an entire city block and there are restaurants, shops, services galore. Many are open to the public, as you would expect, but you always feel special as a guest of the hotel and many areas are accessible only to hotel guests. Exceptional! Read less

A big shoutout to Allen. He saw me being all curious outside of the hotel and decided to welcome me in to see the hotel lobby. It was really beautiful. I also get to learn lots of things and specifically on the history of the building. It was really a great experience all because of Allen.
