Our journey begins
Raffles Singapore, named after Singapore’s founder Sir Stamford Raffles, is one of very few hotels from the 19th century that is still revered as a destination across the world today. No other establishment is more recognisable as both an emblem of the island’s history and an enduring marvel of hospitality. Travel connoisseurs of the era experienced a level of discreet, personalised service that was beyond anything they had previously encountered... along with an exciting new cocktail, the iconic Singapore Sling. The hotel continues to fly the flag for the Raffles name worldwide, as it moves into step with
the contemporary lifestyles of its well-travelled guests.
