The hotel

Raffes Singapore has come to be known as one of the country’s most iconic landmarks. Retaining its striking architecture, unbeatable hospitality and excellent facilities — along with its elegant touches and colonial charm — the magic will start the minute you step through its palm-fringed doors. Meander around the hotel’s lushly landscaped gardens, relax with a treatment in the Raffles Spa - site of the utmost tranquility - or head to the Arcade to while away the hours browsing through speciality boutiques and the Raffles Gift Shop for souvenirs and gourmet gifts. If you need to cool off head to the rooftop swimming pool and a lovely place to relax. The hotel’s Long Bar is renowned for its world-famous Singapore Slings while the new Writers Bar will present bespoke craft cocktails, wines and spirits. Discover the best mooncakes in Singapore at Raffles Singapore, head to Tiffin Room for authentic North Indian cuisine or a quintessential Afternoon Tea in the heart of the restored lobby and allow yourself to be transported back to the hotel's golden days by the early 20th century décor and ambience.

This hotel is truly a fabulous place to book , friendly staff, amazing room, I am very picky and couldn’t fault it, great afternoon tea, if you stay here book a time for the Long Bar so you skip the queue which was very long for visitors! Doormen are great and get you a taxi very quickly, hope to come back here one day as it’s so good

Visited some years ago for afternoon tea (stayed at MBS on that occasion) and always said we would love to stay at Raffles if we came to Singapore again. Nothing wrong with MBS but a completely different experience and lacking character/history. Raffles has character and history in abundance!

Visited some years ago for afternoon tea (stayed at MBS on that occasion) and always said we would love to stay at Raffles if we came to Singapore again. Nothing wrong with MBS but a completely different experience and lacking character/history. Raffles has character and history in abundance! We were not disappointed and everything about the place and experience is fantastic. Pity I couldn’t get Accor points or credited for nights stayed as booked through a travel agent, but never mind.

This was a last minute staycation for our family and it is one we certainly will not regret. Wonderful stay at the Raffles Singapore. The hotel was renovated 5 years ago but is extremely well maintained and looks and feels new. The suites are generously sized and elegantly furnished in a modern colonial style. Service is impeccable. Kudos to our butlers especially Lucman (and another lady whom we missed her name) and also resident historian Nazri who led us one an enlightening and interesting tour of the hotel. Breakfast was very good with good quality produce and extensive spread. Swimming pool was also private and long enough for decent laps. Will highly recommend for couples but also families. Read less

Came around mid afternoon and had to queue for about 15 minutes before getting in (you can't book) and once we got to the front of the queue the service was great - friendly, engaging and fun.

Came around mid afternoon and had to queue for about 15 minutes before getting in (you can't book) and once we got to the front of the queue the service was great - friendly, engaging and fun. Had the famous Sling which was excellent and had plenty of alcohol in it, and stayed for one more beer. The prices are high ($39 each for a sling and $22 for a pint of Tiger, which you can get for less than half that most places on the Island) but it's worth it to see the place, spend a bit of time there and soak up the atmosphere.

The staff were amazing and perfectly complimented this iconic hotel. From collection at the airport through to check out nothing was to much trouble. In particular would recommend both the Singapore Sling in the Long Bar and beautifully prepared cocktails in the Writers Bar.
