Since its birth in 1887, the legendary Raffles hotel in Singapore has undergone many a make-over however it continues to reign strong as one of the world\u2019s favored grand-dame hotels, and rightfully so, which other hotel can boast a charming personality from each and every one of its 103 suites?<\/p>\n
Despite it\u2019s location in the heart of the city, you\u2019ll be hard-pushed to drag yourself from the colonial architecture and design of the hotel. While away the hours wandering through the tropical gardens, and round the day off in the earthy decor of the Long bar \u2013 the birthplace of the legendary Singapore Sling. If you\u2019re looking for a place to inspire your poet within, head to the Writers bar for a moment of reflection. This has been dedicated to the likes of Rudyard Kipling and other such legends who have spent a precious kip or two at this bolthole.<\/p>\n
Declared a national monument, Raffles Hotel Singapore is a landmark in itself. Within the hotel\u2019s grounds, you\u2019ll find landmarks aplenty – a museum, a shopping arcade, a Jubilee Hall and, our favorite, a Victorian style theatre. Looking a little more broadly, the hotel, set in Singapore\u2019s business district, is in the perfect location for hopping around Singapore. Plus, arrival from the airport is a straightforward 20 minute journey.<\/p>\n
High ceilings, elegant period furnishings, and teakwood floorings are a standard for any suite at Raffles Hotel Singapore. From then on, suites are completely individual. The grand hotel suites are a showcase for quality antiques and artworks and are known for their character – you won\u2019t find two pieces the same here. The Palm Court suites, on the other hand, embody simplicity and serenity.<\/p>\n
The hotel\u2019s 55,000 plants have seriously impressed us, you could spend hours wandering through the gardens with many a secluded spot to unwind in amongst the flora. It was, however, the hotel\u2019s attention to detail that really won us over. In keeping with the colonial charm, you\u2019ll find a world-renowned florist and can enjoy your morning British cuppa at the Ah-Tengs Bakery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
