Raffles Hotel

About

First opened in 1887 by the Sarkies brothers as a modest 10-room hotel, Raffles Singapore has grown into one of Asia’s most celebrated landmarks and remains synonymous with the golden age of travel. Its magnificent whitewashed colonial buildings, grand verandas and lush courtyards have welcomed literary figures, royalty and world leaders for over a century. Following an extensive restoration completed in 2019, the hotel carefully preserved its historic character while introducing contemporary comforts, ensuring its legacy continues for a new generation of travellers. As a designated National Monument, Raffles occupies a unique place in Singapore’s cultural and architectural heritage.  

Rooms

Accommodation consists entirely of spacious suites, each designed to reflect the hotel’s heritage while incorporating refined modern amenities. Elegant interiors feature polished teak floors, period-inspired furnishings and generous living areas, complemented by marble bathrooms and private verandas or courtyard views. Personal butler service is included with every stay, enhancing the residential feel and reinforcing the hotel’s reputation for exceptional hospitality.

Dining

Dining at Raffles Singapore is a destination in itself, with a collection of acclaimed restaurants and bars celebrating both local and international cuisine.
