After careful and sensitive restoration since 2017, Raffles Singapore is reopening on 1st August 2019. From 1887 till date Raffles Singapore stands tall with a standard for luxury hospitality, introducing the world to private butlers, the Singapore Sling and its enduring, legendary services.
Within its walls are more than a hundred expansive suites, framed by polished teak verandas and white marble colonnades, clustered around lush tropical gardens. Each is serviced by the legendary Raffles butlers and offers every modern convenience necessary. The three-phase restoration of Raffles Hotel Singapore is designed to ensure that we retain the ambience, the service, the charm and the heritage of the hotel. It is also designed for Raffles Hotel Singapore to stay relevant and distinctive by moving with the times and with its guests, adapting to the changing needs of the well-travelled and Singapore’s community.
Till today, its architecture is perfectly preserved both inside and out, giving it an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and classic colonial design, and this isn’t the only reason why Raffles Hotels Singapore reopening has our excitement on peak. The following reasons make it iconic-
