Highlights

  • All-suite sanctuary: Every key at Raffles Singapore is a true suite, with soaring ceilings, teak floors and wide verandahs that feel more like a private residence than a hotel room.
  • Legendary Raffles butlers: A dedicated butler for every suite, offering discreet, intuitive service from in-suite check-in to perfectly timed Singapore Slings on your verandah.
  • Birthplace of the Singapore Sling: The iconic cocktail was created in 1915 at the hotel’s own Long Bar, where the tradition of throwing peanut shells on the floor still lives on.
  • Historic dining institutions: Tiffin Room has served North Indian cuisine since the 1890s beneath gently swaying fans, making it one of the city’s most enduring culinary addresses.
  • Writers’ and artists’ legacy: Writers Bar pays homage to literary greats such as Rudyard Kipling and Somerset Maugham who once stayed here, embedding the hotel in cultural history.
  • Presidential Suites with provenance: The Sir Stamford Raffles and Sarkies Suites feature curated antiques, private dining rooms and expansive verandas rarely matched in urban Asia.
  • Tropical grounds in the civic district: Despite its central setting, more than a quarter of the estate is landscaped gardens and palm-lined courtyards.

Giving back

In the kitchens, chefs prioritise local and seasonal ingredients, supporting nearby producers while reducing environmental impact. Food waste is carefully monitored, with an increasing focus on more sustainable and plant-based dishes.

The hotel also contributes to the local community through employment and training, with a strong emphasis on developing local talent and long-term careers. This helps ensure the benefits of tourism are shared more widely.

As a protected National Monument, Raffles Singapore also plays an important role in preserving cultural heritage. Its careful restoration and ongoing maintenance help safeguard a significant part of the city’s history for future generations.
