I made a nostalgic visit back to my favorite Hotel, Raffles Singapore. My last stay there was before the renovations, in 1989. Although it brought a very large lump to my throat, as I felt there was so little left of the old hotel. I have to admit the building is certainly very nice. The old Long Bar has been... More

We stayed at Raffles for only one night on a stopover through Singapore and it really lived up to expectations and hype. Upon arrival, we were checked in seamlessly, there was champagne waiting for us in our room, and although we didn't see our Butler again the service at the hotel from every staff member we encountered was exceptional.

Have been looking forward to staying at Raffles for a long time and it didn't disappoint! The suite was very spacious and was very comfortable. We only saw the butler on arrival but knew she was there if required. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed a few hours relaxation. Had a sling in the Long Bar and ate in... More

What an amazing place! Right in the hustle and bustle of Singapore is this marvellous hotel which feels like something special from a by-gone era. We were lucky enough to check in on Christmas day and were greeted with a choir singing carols in the main lobby around a massive Christmas tree which was beautifully decorated. The ambience was unforgettable,... More
