Featured : Raffles Singapore

Raffles Hotel Singapore is the flagship property of Raffles Hotels & Resorts. Opened in 1887, it is one of the few remaining great 19th century hotels in the world. No visit to Singapore is complete without a stay at Raffles; tradition demands it.

Over the years, some of the most famous personalities have walked through the ornate wrought-iron portico.

Enter the main building of the hotel and the magnificence of the lobby, seemingly unaltered from the turn of the century, takes the breath away. White marble colonnades, also found throughout out the hotel, encircle an atrium that soars three floors up. In the day, sunlight pours through illuminating polished teak verandas that lead to 103 suites, 14 restaurants and bars, event spaces and a shopping arcade.
