Beneath its high ceilings, Raffles Singapore has breathed new life into already impressive period interiors – white marble colonnades encircle a soaring atrium, precious antiques and artefacts greet at every turn, and plush sofas and decorative carpets add an air of gracious living. While, upstairs, each of the luxurious suites overlooks the lush gardens, each with discreet butler service.
A choice of restaurants, bars and courtyards leaves no one wanting, including exciting dining concepts featuring celebrity chefs. A Singapore Sling at the Long Bar or Raffles traditional afternoon tea are, of course, still very much the highlights here though. And in those precious moments of downtime, stretching out beside the outdoor swimming pool or recharging at Raffles Spa with its rejuvenating rituals is just the ticket.
