A 'must visit' when in Singapore - the Raffles Hotel Arcade - simply for window shopping or sipping a "Singapore Sling" from the infamous Long Bar 2nd floor. The shopping arcade is in pleasant surroundings - off the busy streets facing inward to a lovely courtyard. Have high tea at Tiffin Room - or a coffee and danish from Ah... More

Sorry, but this was nothing special, in fact disappointing. Yes the building is attractive and steeped in history but that's where it ends. And with a Singapore Sling at £15 a head they really are having your pants down, even though you get the free nuts. Save your money and go elsewhere and stick to soft drinks. Alcohol is outrageously... More

You really shouldn't miss Raffles when you come to Singapore. It's a fascinating place; very evocative of a bygone era. The architecture and gardens are beautiful and there are a lovely range of shops to visit, including the Raffles gift shop which has some lovely items, albeit at slightly expensive prices. We had a lovely lunch at Ah Teng's Bakery... More

the arcade has most of the top tier branded shops that you can find in Singapore and the shop is small but adequately stock. It is also like the condense version of Orchard road , in which most branded items are house here.

This is one way of seeing inside Raffles Hotel, or at least some of it/ Experience how the colonials saw Singapore. Sit in the cool, and have a drink, of course it needs to be a Singapore Sling. The shops are expensive, even the Raffles shop is expensive, but there are reasonably priced souveniers. This reduces the overall rating for... More

Raffles Hotel has so much atmosphere you can easily imagine yourself back in its heyday as you walk around. The little museum is very interesting and sets the scene for you. The shops are very tasteful and its well worth a visit even if the budget doesn't stretch to a Singapore Sling.It was lovely just to wander round and sit... More

the drinks are extremely pricey! The bar is amazing though..they through the shells of the nuts on the floor and its very clean considering. The fans on the ceiling are amazing they are actually shaped like old fashioned hand fans. Singapore sling was delicious! Although one round of drinks and your out of cash lol

It is just as a high tea needs to be. Tea, scones and other delicious English delights. Also some local delights available, what is a treat. Bubbles to get it all posh in this beautiful, astonishing environment. We had a lovely time and enjoyed every minute of it. (be aware of the dress-code)

Even if you don't have a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar or buy an overpriced tea-towel in the hotel shop, Raffles is still worth a visit. Find yourself a little spot in one of the verandahs and wonder at the colonial beauty of this building. If you go on a quiet day, you can really appreciate the sound of... More
