No trip to Singapore could be complete without a trip to Raffles - a real slice of colonial England right in the heart of Asia. We went to the Tiffin Room for tea and it really was an experience we'll always remember. It's a throwback to a more genteel era - and one which we'd probably do well to go... More

Stunning hotel with excellent service. The hotel itself is very beautiful and all the staff are very friendly and know how to make everyone feel special. The gym, pool etc aren't the best but the rest of the hotel makes up for it. A great experience.

Raffles was first class from go to whoa. I had read some negative reviews, so was a little apprehensive that the big spend might not be worth it. This was old style hospitality at it's best. Stunning rooms ( they don't have flat screen TVs, but I was not at Raffles to watch the TV), and impeccable service. I loved... More

A peaceful, exquisite piece of architecture in the centre of bustling Singapore. From it's sweeping gravel entrance with the tall, friendly doorman to your own suite this is like walking through a history book. The timeless elegance and open spaces with contrasting marble and dark wood transports you through an era of elegance and a sense of being at the... More

From the moment you enter the courtyard, greeted by the generous smile of the turban clad doorman to the moment your personal butler shows you around your suite, a beaming grin never leaves your face. Never mind the 12 hour flight from London, or the traffic from Changi airport to the hotel, all is forgotten except the delight of being... More

If you visit Singapore then you must visit Raffles! The hotel is a place of old fashioned charm and elegance, although it is set amidst the hustle and bustle of the city once you step inside you are transported back to a bygone era, where traditional standards and good manners are the norm, (for example, smoking is forbidden when waiting...

I was able to stay here with my family during our June 4-6 Singapore trip. During the planning stage for our trip, I was stumped with my last two hotel choices which was Marina Bay Sands & Raffles Hotel. I have to say, I have no regrets choosing to stay at Raffles! Our butler accompanied us from the lobby to... More

This hotel takes you back to a bygone era and the whole experience oozes history. You can envision the British drinking Singapore Slings before surrendering to the Japanese or see all the historical figures who have graced this hotel.

I had a feeling this would not be for me but pressed ahead and booked it anyway as my partner is into places of 'character' and prefers old world charm.

Just had one night in Singapore and felt like having a splurge so checked into this lovely old world hotel. It is magnificent from a piano greeting you in the lobby area to the excellent service and the old decor makes it a unique experience. The rooms are exquisitely furnished and our stay was mst memorable.
