Raffles Singapore

While housed in an historic building the hotel has been fully updated, providing impeccable quality accommodation with oversized rooms. What makes it very special is the exceptional service by a dedicated staff each of whom recognize each guest by name, the variety and quality of the restaurants and bars, and the history behind the hotel.

A stunning stay. A special mention for the the team in the Writers Bar - sorry I don’t know his name (German gentlemen) so friendly and left us with a gift based on our conversation - it’s memories like this that make people keep coming back to Raffles!!

How fancy is raffles hotel? Well, it’s so fancy that if you’re in the front room, there are no less than 4 doors between you & the toilet! There’s a door between the sitting room & the bedroom, another between the bedroom & the closet area, a bathroom door, then a door to the toilet itself. When my girlfriend said she had to “go powder her nose,” I felt secure. With as much charm as I could muster I sweetly asked her to close all the doors. She shot back a look of cold malice, but with satisfaction, I heard her shut all of the doors. But after a few minutes, to my horror, wafted the most noxious odors. I’m sure my girlfriend won’t mind me, saying this, especially because she never reads these reviews. But if she does, darling, my computer has been hacked again. But seriously, if you’re going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a hotel room, this is the place!
