Several renovations had been made to Raffles Hotel Singapore, but the first time it opened was back in 1887. It is a very long time ago and, believe it or not, Raffles Singapore was started as a 10 rooms hotel only. The name of Raffles Singapore was taken from the founder of Singapore, obviously, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles.

The renovation of Raffles Hotel Singapore was made twice: in 1989 and reopened in 1991, and also in 2017 and reopened in 2019. Even though Raffles Singapore has undergone several renovations, it never loses the main touch of the hotel’s building: the colonial style. Thus, after all this time, with all the new hotels built along the years, Raffles Hotel Singapore can still be the iconic and the glamorous one, with the great colonial style still adopted in both its architecture and the inside’s decoration. Right now, Raffles Hotel Singapore is a part of the National Monument of Singapore.

Not only the appearance of the building has had a strong characteristic since a long time ago, but Raffles Singapore also had a part in the history of cocktails. Do you know the “Singapore Sling”? Yes, the Singapore Sling Raffles Singapore is a cocktail made for the first time by the Raffles Hotel Singapore’s bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon. Imagine the first time the Singapore Sling of Raffles was introduced to the bar’s visitors back in 1915! As spectacular as it is, The Singapore Sling of Raffles Singapore now has made it as a national cocktail too.

Yes, Raffles Singapore is a place with a rich history. If you have not stayed in Raffles Singapore, whether you’re a Singaporean or not, your days in Singapore have not yet completed.

Do not ever think that Raffles Singapore is like any other hotel. It is like a 19th century castle that will spoil you with their selection of suites!

Suites? Yes! In Raffles Singapore, we don’t call it a room. We call it a suite.

Started as a place for people to stay with only 10 rooms, today’s Raffles Hotel Singapore is a lavish hotel with 115 magnificent suites in total. These 115 rooms are divided into 9 types of suites, and we’re guaranteed, these selections will absolutely get you confused. All of them have a characteristic and cozy vibes, with the wooden floor, the bed design that is hard to find in any other place, the 19th century style of furniture, display, and decoration and not to mention the spacious room.

The other unique thing about the suites in Raffles Singapore is that some of them are named according to someone’s name as a tribute. Even though it feels trivial, a room with someone’s famous name actually feels more intimate. For example, the Promenade Suites have two choices: the Lady Mountbatten Suite that is named after the Countess of Burma and the Lady Sophia Suite that is named after the wife of the founder of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, which name is used for the hotel itself.

Of course we won’t explain all of the 9 types of suites available in Raffles Hotel Singapore, yet it is quite hard to pick a favorite as well since all of them are very cozy and very aesthetic to the eye. But finally, we managed to decide on some of the suites that stole our heart the most.
