Opened in 1887, Raffles Singapore is one of the few remaining great 19th century hotels in the world. Till today, its architecture is perfectly preserved both inside and out, giving it an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and classic colonial design. Within its walls are more than a hundred expansive suites, framed by polished teak verandahs and white marble colonnades, clustered around lush tropical gardens. Each is serviced by the legendary Raffles butlers and offers every modern convenience necessary.

Declared a National Monument a century after its opening, by the Singapore Government in 1987, Raffles Singapore has through the years, gained both local and international recognition as an oasis for the well-travelled. It is a national treasure among Singaporeans who deeply value its historical significance and unique heritage. Its first restoration was conducted from 1989 to 1991 where the hotel closed for two and a half years. More recently, the iconic hotel underwent its second careful and sensitive restoration that started in 2017 before reopening on 1 August 2019.

A flagship property within Raffles Hotels & Resorts, Raffles Singapore is designed to epitomise what is so special about Raffles for over a century – the ambience, the service, the charm and the heritage of the hotel. Its recent restoration was also designed for Raffles Singapore to stay relevant and distinctive by moving with the times and with its guests while adapting to the changing needs of the well-travelled and Singapore's community.

“There are few hotels in the world whose names have become virtually synonymous with the cities in which they are located – and none more so than the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. The restored Raffles provides an experience like no other,” said Christian Westbeld, Managing Director, Raffles Singapore. “It is our wish and desire that our guests will continue to create treasured memories at the hotel, while rediscovering what makes it so special – the distinctive architecture, heritage and legendary service.”

The hotel's meticulous second restoration led by acclaimed interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud was also supported by Aedas, a leading global architecture and design firm. Together, the designers created a city landmark that presents a refreshed social haven, delivering a compelling mix of culture, beauty and gentility. Exquisite suite categories, vibrant lifestyle experiences and exclusive dining concepts were designed for international visitors and Singaporeans to meet, stay, shop, dine and celebrate.

Discerning travellers can expect unrivalled comfort and inimitable service with enhanced suite experiences, brought to life by the fabled Raffles Butlers, while enjoying the reimagined spaces at Raffles Singapore.

The revitalised Raffles Singapore offers 115 luxurious all-suite accommodations, across nine distinct suite categories: State Room Suites, Courtyard Suites, Palm Court Suites, Personality Suites, Residence Suites, Promenade Suites, Grand Hotel Suites and Presidential Suites. Residence, Promenade and Studio suites, were the three latest additions to the hotel's existing line-up during its recent restoration.

While the Raffles Arcade is outfitted with a charming Raffles Boutique and various bespoke retail and lifestyle brands, guests and locals can also delight in exploring the worldly restaurants and bars at Raffles Singapore. Restaurant collaborations include 1887 by André, the hotel's latest signature dining experience led by Chef Patron André Chiang, where heritage gastronomy is expressed through the lens of French culinary philosophies as well as 藝 yiì by Jereme Leung with Master Chef Jereme Leung, known for his innovative Chinese cooking. At the refreshed Long Bar, travellers will continue to enjoy the hotel's most famous cocktail, the original Singapore Sling, along with the timeless tradition of tossing peanut shells on the floor while Writers Bar presents unique bespoke cocktail experiences that pay a tribute to the hotel's literary heritage.
