Luxury at its finest. Check-in was very intimate and seamless. Very lucky to receive our Personality Suite ahead of the check-in time too. Appreciated the birthday decor and amenities in the room. Was a very nice touch, along with the chocolates which we were able to select. The attention to detail in the room was amazing - from pillow for the bath, and a jewelry holder in the bathroom. There were also a few sustainability initiatives too, which I liked. Breakfast buffet was great! Not crowded even at 9am and had nice selections. We did a history tour at the end of our stay and was guided by Nazir the Raffles Historian. 100% recommendations for the tour! Nazir was very knowledgeable and we learnt so so much. Kudos to the team and hopefully we will be back for Christmas for a festive feel! Thank you again for the wonderful experience.

Amazing hotel, fantastic staff and service

The Raffles experience is amazing - the service from staff is outstanding and the hotel and grounds are very beautiful. Breakfast selection was excellent and the restaurant where breakfast was served was very pleasant. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

Lynda R TripAdvisor review

Having been a previous visitor to Raffles, I always told anyone who would listen that it was one of my two favourite places in the whole world and, as such, I could never wait to return. In the past, you were always welcomed back (as a returning guest) by name and were given your first (of many!) Singapore Slings as you were checking in. Unfortunately this courtesy has now been resigned to the past, with the whole checking in procedure becoming much more perfunctory and impersonal. Yes, you are offered a welcome drink by your butler once you are taken through to your suite, but what appears to have been forgotten is that anyone arriving here is invariably at the end of a long, tiring journey & instant refreshment on arrival is what's needed. On arrival at our suite, the butler was at great pains to point out the renovations including how blinds,lights, bookings at the bars, restaurants etc. had to be managed on the i-pad (the elderly must view that with dismay!) All well & good until I awoke in the middle of the night (jet-lag from Vietnam!) in the pitch dark & desperately needing a drink. Couldn't see my hand in front of my face, all light switches a thing of the past, lights being controlled by the i-pad that you can't even find because it's too dark, stumbled to the new, state of the art room fridge (made to look like a Louis Vuitton travel case) but on opening, found there is NO INTERIOR LIGHT so I couldn't even see what I was selecting to drink!! Talk about style over substance. Aargh! We had booked a meal with friends on the first night in the Tiffin Room to find that that too has been "made-over" and is no longer the vibrant, busy buffet of old, but is now a formal A La Carte, albeit very high quality restaurant. It was also tellingly almost empty & lacking any atmosphere, something it used to have in abundance. The old Raffles Grill has bitten the dust too to be replaced by La Dame de Pic. Whilst the quality of the food (& wines) was Michelin star, it was inordinately expensive and it too was almost empty and lacking atmosphere. It came as no suprise that it closed permanetly in May. The new Writers' Bar however, was a joy! It was buzzing & had a real sense of place despite being part of the renovations. If only it felt that the heart hadn't been ripped out. Hotels worldwide have become homogeneous and the old world charm should have stayed as its USP. It truly feels as if the "Old Lady" has lost her soul and I mourn for her.

Amazing hotel

A week's stay for our special 30th wedding anniversary, Raffles selected for the hotel's special history, it's colonial architecture, it's modern upgrade, it's reputation and it's central location. We had high expectations and were thrilled with how wonderfully Raffles lived up to our high standards. The room was beautiful and immaculately clean, comfortable and perfectly appointed. The staff were friendly, attentive and most helpful, again exceeding our expectations. When we accidently left items behind on our departure Raffles found and mailed them to us quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Thankyou everyone!

What a fantastic experience.

It was a truly lovely experience. Probably the best hotel we have stayed in. All of the staff were brilliant and we will be planning our next trip soon. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making the stay so memorable.
