Experience the renaissance of Singapore’s most storied hotel, where timeless elegance meets contemporary sophistication.
Raffles Singapore has triumphantly reopened its doors, inviting guests to discover a masterfully restored sanctuary at the heart of the Lion City. As the flagship property of Accor’s prestigious luxury portfolio, this historic landmark welcomes travelers once again after an extensive, multi-year restoration that meticulously preserved its heritage while elevating every aspect of the guest journey.
General Manager Christian Westbeld shared, “Raffles Singapore is woven into the very fabric of the city. Few properties worldwide are as inseparable from their destinations as Raffles is from Singapore. With our reimagined spaces, we offer unparalleled hospitality and invite guests to create new memories amid our storied halls.”
Guided by the renowned vision of Alexandra Champalimaud and the innovative team at Aedas, the restoration has transformed Raffles into a vibrant social destination. With expanded suite offerings, curated lifestyle experiences, and a diverse culinary landscape, Raffles now serves as an urban oasis for discerning international visitors and Singaporeans alike, seamlessly blending cultural richness with refined luxury.
Guests can now indulge in a heightened level of bespoke service with the legendary Raffles Butlers, who deliver anticipatory, discreet care in each of the reimagined suites. Every space has been thoughtfully crafted to provide an exclusive sense of place, reflecting both heritage and modernity.
Jeannette Ho, Vice President, Raffles Brand and Strategic Partnerships, remarked, “It is a privilege to witness the return of Raffles Singapore, honoring its origins while setting new benchmarks for emotional luxury. Our commitment to authenticity and innovation ensures that Raffles remains a beacon of hospitality.”
The hotel now features 115 all-suite accommodations across nine distinct categories: State Room, Courtyard, Palm Court, Personality, Residence, Promenade, Studio, Grand Hotel, and Presidential Suites. The addition of Residence, Promenade, and Studio Suites brings expanded options for today’s luxury traveler, offering even greater personalization and comfort.
The refreshed Raffles Arcade invites guests and locals to explore the new Raffles Boutique alongside an array of curated luxury retailers. Culinary excellence takes center stage with acclaimed collaborations, including Chef Anne-Sophie Pic of the three-Michelin-starred Maison Pic, the legendary Alain Ducasse, and Chef Jereme Leung, renowned for his contemporary Chinese cuisine. At the celebrated Long Bar, the iconic Singapore Sling continues to be the signature experience, complete with the beloved ritual of peanut shell tossing—a cherished nod to tradition.
Christian also noted, “As one of the world’s last remaining grand 19th-century hotels, Raffles Singapore’s restoration honors its storied legacy while introducing extraordinary new experiences. This dedication reflects the passion of our team and the vision of our owner, Katara Hospitality.”
Since its debut in 1887 and its designation as a National Monument in 1987, Raffles Singapore has earned global acclaim as an emblem of refined hospitality. For generations, it has stood as a beloved cultural treasure, celebrated by Singaporeans and international travelers alike for its unique blend of historical grandeur and contemporary luxury.
