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.

As always, the welcome you receive at Raffles is inclusive, warm and makes you feel like you've returned home. Nothing is too much trouble, to make your visit extra special.

As always, the welcome you receive at Raffles is inclusive, warm and makes you feel like you've returned home. Nothing is too much trouble, to make your visit extra special. It truly is an oasis of peace and luxury in a very busy world we all live in. The spa treatments were indulgent, but fabulous. It was a treat to swim in the pool, looking up towards nearby skyscrapers, compared with the lovely "bungalow" feeling of Raffles. This time we took the Historical Tour of Raffles, lead by one of their Resident Historians, Nazir Yusof. He was exceptionally knowledgable and brought Raffle's past and present, to life. Thank you Nazir. Thank you Raffles. Read less

This hotel was a last-minute booking, and it exceeded my expectations. From the stunning architecture and rich history of the building to the outstanding service, everything was spot on. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. Most importantly, the location was perfect for stepping out to nearby meetings. I even managed to steal a few moments between work to enjoy a refreshing mocktail on the beautiful outdoor terrace. I’d happily return on my next visit. Read less
