Iconic heritage<\/h3>\n

Raffles<\/strong> is an iconic hotel in striking architecture, situated in the heart of Singapore’s<\/a>business district. The hotel named after Sir Stamford Raffles – the founder of Singapore – opened its doors in days gone by, when travelling the world was reserved only for a few. Renowned writers, film stars, dignitaries and journalists were invited to the national monument. During a recent facelift of the grand dame,<\/em> the classic colonial architecture was beautifully preserved. Added are all the comforts the pampered traveller dreams of. Step into Singapore’s colonial past and let the legendary service please you. ‘Where the world can’t find you…’<\/em><\/p>\n
