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.

Considering the impeccable reputation of this hotel, I arrived with very high expectations…. and after 3 nights in a Palm Court Suite, I am convinced Raffles remains one of the greatest hotel experiences on the planet. The attention to every detail of the guest experience is beyond belief…. The entirety of this property is immaculate (interiors, architecture, gardens, bathrooms, restaurants, suite amenities, manager and all staff). In a way, this hotel shouldn’t be on trip advisor because it has very few peers and is in a league of its own. 10 Stars and a true life experience. My wife cried when we left (for real). Exceptional !!! Read less

Our 3 nights at Raffles Hotel were the fulfilment of lifelong dream… I visited long bar for a Singapore sling in my 20s and wished I would come and stay with my future husband… 30 years later I did and it was everything I’d imagined and more. The impeccable service was the highlight of my experience although the gardens, architecture, history and cuisine are also exceptional, and I’m fussy. A true oasis in a beautiful city, I will fondly treasure memories of our stay. Read less

My hubby & I booked in at The Raffles Hotel, Singapore for two nights. On the second day I went for a walk by myself, and when I returned to the hotel, I was greeted by a very rude employee at the front entrance. She stood before me and said "Can I help you??!!" in a not friendly tone. I have spoken to the management but they couldn't even tell me… Read more

I wanted to see this legendary hotel in Singapore although I didn't stay here. You can really imagine going back in time. So beautiful with the foliage. Visited the Longroom for a couple of drinks and peanuts. The only place you can litter in Singapore and throw shells on the ground. Although this is where the legendary Singapore sling was… Read more
I wanted to see this legendary hotel in Singapore although I didn't stay here. You can really imagine going back in time. So beautiful with the foliage. Visited the Longroom for a couple of drinks and peanuts. The only place you can litter in Singapore and throw shells on the ground. Although this is where the legendary Singapore sling was invented, I went for a Tom Collins which was amazing. Read less
