Raffles Singapore

  Best Hotel Ever A stunning hotel where the staff are so attentive and professional. Everyone made us feel very special, small things like remembering your name and where we had preferred to sit the last time you were in the bar. Just walking around the gardens is a delight. We had seen quite a few videos and images of the hotel before we arrived but the reality was even better. The gardens are beautiful and seem to be maintained to the highest standard. On arrival we were greeted by the iconic doorman and then by a manager who led us to the check-in area. Once we had checked-in we were led to our room where the manager ran through all the room's features. Our butler also introduced himself and explained how the butler service worked. A bit later he also brought us some complimentary chocolates and an accompanying Singapore Sling. The Courtyard restaurant food was very nice but breakfast at the pool bar was our favourite. We went every morning just after it had opened and we usually had the pool to ourselves. The writers bar staff were very friendly. Even the very busy long bar staff took time to speak to us. In fact all the staff made us feel very special.

  My wife and I recently had the privilege of staying at Raffles Hotel Singapore, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the hotel’s beautifully preserved colonial architecture — pristine, elegant, and meticulously maintained. Every corridor, courtyard, and suite reflects timeless grace and quiet luxury. What truly elevated our stay was the exceptional personal butler service. The attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care made us feel not just like guests, but like honored friends. Every request was anticipated, every moment thoughtfully handled. A special and heartfelt thank-you goes to Mr. Roslee Sukar, the hotel’s resident historian and former personal butler to Michael Jackson and Queen Elizabeth II. Mr. Sukar graciously gave us a private historical tour of Raffles, sharing mesmerizing stories from his decades of service. His passion, humor, and deep knowledge brought the hotel’s rich legacy vividly to life — a truly rare and personal experience we will treasure. Raffles is not simply a hotel — it is living history, wrapped in elegance and delivered with heartfelt hospitality. We left with full hearts, beautiful memories, and deep gratitude. If you ever have the opportunity to stay here, take it. This is hospitality at its finest. — Paul

  Wonderful iconic hotel with great and helpful staff who genuinely cannot do enough for you. Your allocated staff members go out of their way to turn your stay into an experience. Our butler Cathy was fantastic and looked after our needs from providing in room Singapore Slings to running a relaxing bath for my partner. However, Vicki was exceptional. From the moment we arrived to waving us off, she could not do enough. This was on top of probably dealing with another 15 customers as well. She was full of advice and idea's, always making us feel special. Subsequently, it did not surprise us to learn that she was named amongst the best receptionists in Singapore after collecting just 18 months of experience. She must be the best by now. The iconic nature of this hotel makes it one of the best in the world. It's staff and their attention to detail and service will keep this hotel as one of the best in the world. Exceptional. See you later in 2026.

  Only went to Long Bar, but by entering through the front entrance had a opportunity to walk a considerable distance through the outer parts of Hotel. Consequently was able to gain a flavour of what it is like staying in the Hotel. The Long bar itself was not as long as I expected. We arrived at an oportune time (around 18:30) and had only a minute or two wait to be seated. Waitress who served us was very friendly and polite. We ordered what 90 + % of people order "singapore slings" not cheap though at 44 singspore dollars each. But very nice and enjoyable. We stopped for a second drink and were rewarded with two views to the mechanical cocktail shaker in action. A sight and sound certainly to behold. If you get the chance enjoy the delinquence of throwing monkey nut casing on the floor. When left after roughly an hour there was a queue of approximately 20 people waiting for entry. Hope you do have that chance to enjoy.

  My stay at Raffles Singapore was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, elegant, and genuinely attentive in a way that made us feel completely looked after without ever feeling intrusive. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning — timeless, luxurious, and filled with history, yet maintained to the highest modern standard. Every detail, from the beautifully restored colonial architecture to the peaceful courtyards and refined interiors, creates an atmosphere that feels both grand and incredibly relaxing. The suite was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully designed, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Housekeeping was exceptional, and the attention to detail throughout the stay was truly world-class. What makes Raffles Singapore truly special, however, is the feeling it gives you. It is not simply a luxury hotel — it is an experience. There is a sense of calm, elegance, and heritage that is very difficult to find elsewhere. Without question, one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in. Absolutely deserving of its iconic reputation, and we cannot wait to return.
