Raffles Hotel 1 Beach Rd, Singapore 189673More information:
The year was 1887 when the doors to the Raffles Hotel Singapore first opened. Since then, this luxury five star hotel in Singapore has become an icon that epitomises the romance of the Far East – an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and colonial design. Situated in the heart of the business and civic district, Raffles Singapore is a veritable oasis in the city. Its classic colonial architecture has been perfectly preserved and provides a stark but lively contrast against its modern-skyscraper neighbours. Through the decades, liveried Sikh doormen have welcomed some of the most famous personalities, from writers to celebrities, politicians and members of royalty, such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. No visit to Singapore is complete without a stay at this iconic all-suite luxury Singapore hotel. Choose to check in to one of the six categories of suites available. Although situated in different parts of the hotel, the view will always be of lush tropical gardens best enjoyed in the comfort of the veranda. Each suite features period furnishings, lofty 14-foot ceilings and modern conveniences expected of a 21st-century hotel. Raffles butlers, legendary for their charming and graceful service are available to fulfil requests both ordinary and extraordinary. From local favourites to English classics and even a North Indian curry buffet, the culinary spread at Raffles Singapore is extensive and enticing. Make a reservation at the 14 restaurants and bars at our hotel, where each offers a unique menu prepared using only the freshest of ingredients. Among the most well-loved include the fine dining establishment Raffles Grill; Long Bar, where the famous Singapore Sling was created; and Writers Bar, a tribute to the novelists and travel writers, who have become part of the hotel’s legend.
