Famous Raffles sets a new bar in the hotel world. Following its meticulous restoration, the hotel reopened its doors in August 2019 after more than two years of renovation. The first impression when you arrive is the warm smile and welcome from Naranjan Singh, the Guest Relations Icon recognised around the world. Immediately, you know you are in very good hands.
Raffles Singapore, an establishment since 1887, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury.
The 115 suites at Raffles are more than just rooms—they are havens. With high ceilings, polished teakwood floors, and stylish furnishings, the spaces are steeped in old-world charm. At the same time, modern touches such as intuitive technology and luxurious bedding ensure every comfort is met.
We had booked a Palm Court Suite but were thrilled to be upgraded to the Straits Settlement Suite. From the carefully curated decor to the state-of-the-art air conditioning, everything was designed with relaxation and indulgence in mind. It was enormous, and it was truly hard to leave.

The restaurants and bars at Raffles is every bit as iconic as the hotel itself. The Long Bar is where the Singapore Sling was born, and no visit would be complete without stopping by for this classic cocktail. Tossing peanut shells on the floor might feel a little quirky, but it is fun and part of the tradition and charm.
The Tiffin Room, a favourite since 1892, continues to delight with its authentic North Indian cuisine, where breakfast is also served. We particularly enjoyed the Writers Bar, savouring its history over a glass of whisky. Butcher’s Block impressed us with the best Wagyu steak we have had so far.

Raffles Singapore is not just a hotel; it is an experience. It combines history, elegance, and exceptional service to create something truly unforgettable. Whether you are relaxing in your suite, enjoying a delicious meal, or soaking in the unique atmosphere, Raffles promises a stay that will leave you with lasting memories.
Raffles is, quite simply, a masterclass in luxury hospitality.
