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.

Raffles Singapore is one of those landmark hotels that needs no introduction to the seasoned traveler, but actually staying at a historic property can sometimes be a gamble. Not so with Raffles, as their experience in hard product and service absolute exceeded expectations. We stayed in the main hotel wing, which was great and offered us convenience access to everything in the Raffles arcade environment, as well as the city. The location is perfect for those exploring Singapore, with an easy 10 minutes from almost anything rideshare. The Long Bar is of course a classic and a must do, but the tourist hustle and bustle in the bar is quickly quelled by the serene, peaceful nature of this luxurious property in the main rooms. The food, spa, and writers bar were also excellent. The senior management was also present on the floor, directly helping guests and answering questions. Overall, this is where you stay for an experience and a vibe, but you will not be missing out on any level of luxury, despite how new and shiny other 5 star hotels in the area pop up. The Raffles has something special, and it’s executed very well. We will certainly return, and advise our friends to do the same. Read less

Where to begin? Perhaps, with the understated opulence of this museum piece masquerading as a hotel. If you can get over its colonial moorings, Raffles is a time machine. Every vista you walk bears the footprint of the 'great' and 'famous'. The hotel offers you the best (a LOT of) money can buy to delight every sense. And it knows it. Check-in,… Read more
Where to begin? Perhaps, with the understated opulence of this museum piece masquerading as a hotel. If you can get over its colonial moorings, Raffles is a time machine. Every vista you walk bears the footprint of the 'great' and 'famous'. The hotel offers you the best (a LOT of) money can buy to delight every sense. And it knows it. Check-in, but don't plan on stepping out for the first 24 hours. The hotel's in-house curated tour is not to be missed. Make sure you are taken to the "presidential suites". Just tell your uber attentive butler. Read less

Second short stay this year. Just happened to coincide with Singapore’s 60th independence celebrations which was a marvellous weekend. Airport pickup service friendly and efficient. State rooms large and homely. They have a traditional but luxurious design with all modern amenities. Pool was quiet and a wonderful way to start the day. Aperitifs and pre-dinner nibbles in the lobby were very relaxing. ‘Butler’ service a little disappointing this time around but still looking forward to a longer stay when we can fit it in. Read less
