Raffles Hotel Singapore
Inducted in 2013
Consecutive Award Won: Best Luxury Hotel
Opened in 1887, Raffles Singapore is one of the few remaining great 19th century hotels in the world. Till today, its architecture is perfectly preserved both inside and out, giving it an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and classic colonial design. Within its walls are more than a hundred expansive suites, framed by polished teak verandahs and white marble colonnades, clustered around lush tropical gardens. Each is serviced by the legendary Raffles butlers and offers every modern convenience necessary.
Declared a National Monument a century after its opening, by the Singapore Government in 1987, Raffles Singapore has through the years, gained both local and international recognition as an oasis for the well-travelled. The iconic hotel underwent its second careful and sensitive restoration that started in 2017 before reopening on 1 August 2019.
A flagship property within Raffles Hotels & Resorts, Raffles Singapore is designed to epitomise what is so special about Raffles for over a century – the ambience, the service, the charm and the heritage of the hotel. Its recent restoration was also designed for Raffles Singapore to stay relevant and distinctive by moving with the times and with its guests while adapting to the changing needs of the well-travelled and Singapore’s community.
