Staying at Raffles lived up to every expectation I might have had and then went even further. It was a wonderful experience and as the doorman said when closing the limo door "hope to see you again soon". More

After 4 days on the Eastern and Oriental travelling down from Bangkok we were used to exceptional service levels - Raffles met that standard. I really love this place. The staff are perfect - the rooms large with exceptional bed linen and even a pillow menu and the whole ambience sophisticated with beautiful flower arrangements and historic furniture. The rooms...

Our stay at the Raffles was essentially perfect. The rooms are spectacular, with extraordinarily high ceilings, a separate sitting room, marble filled bathroom with an wonderful soaker tub, and the highest quality linens, soaps, furniture you'll find. They have spared no expense, and it shows. My only (slight) complaint with the room would be that the water from the shower... More

The history of this hotel is so fascinating that I had wanted to stay here since my last visit to Singapore a few years ago. The hotel itself, antique decor & furniture, service and food are all exceptional. However, it could really use some updates in the tech department, specifically the small old tv and 90s phone. Also, it would... More

My wife and I had to try a Singapore Sling in Raffles followed by afternoon tea. Its like walking back in time when people took time out to do things properly. An excellent trip to see a wonderful piece of Singapore, staff great, afternoon tea was exceptional and the Singapore Sling was to die for. More

There is nowhere quite like Raffles. We have been visiting it for over 30 years. It went through difficult times some years ago, but it is now at the top of its game again. The rooms are spacious and luxurious and the service impeccable. However, the prices are frightening. More

I simply love this place. The architecture is simply so capturing. I would take any opportunity to spend some time here, for lunch, a coffee pit stop, afternoon tea, dinner or evening drinks. I cannot imagine one who does not enjoy the place. It is just a lovely oasis in the buzzing city. All the resturants are super. Be very... More

I love afternoon tea. Everywhere I travel, its a must. But, this last visit to Singapore was a huge disapointment. First of all, since it was the holiday time, I emailed and made the reservation two months in advance. They asked for a credit card guarantee, which I gave them. Next thing I know, they CHARGED my credit card for... More
