Raffles Hotel Singapore, Singapore
About the Raffles Hotel Singapore
Long synonymous with the ultimate in hotel luxury, and today a Singapore national monument, Raffles Hotel is a name that conjures up instant visions of the sophistication, elegance and discretion of a property renowned and loved for its inimitable style and excellence. Lavishly refurbished in recent years to recapture the opulent splendour of its colonial heyday, this truly grand hotel epitomises the classic 19th century style, complete with overhead fans and teakwood floors, an atrium lobby with overhanging balconies and courtyards with fountains. There could be no more distinguished address in Singapore.
Please be informed that in middle of February 2017 Raffles Hotel Singapore will be commencing a careful and sensitive 16-month phased sensitive restoration programme as part of the brand’s constant evolution to remain distinctive and relevant which will be carried out in three phases.

ACTIVITIES
Entertainment
- Raffles Courtyard
Built in the tropical setting of an open courtyard, Raffles Courtyard, a timeless structure with white arches flanked by tropical palms and native plants, keeps the feeling of 'Old Singapore' alive. A colonial cocktail bar, a traditional alfresco kitchen, table umbrellas and live music make the courtyard a pleasant place for patrons to watch the passing parade of visitors. Complementing the alfresco experience is the courtyard's ocean-fresh seafood prepared a la minute in any Asian style that guests request.
- Long Bar
Home of the Singapore Sling, the earthy decor of this two-storey bar was inspired by Malayan plantations of the 1920s. In addition to almost every alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoction imaginable, the bar also serves traditional pub favourites that are available for both lunch and snacks. In the evening, a band performs a selection of contemporary and popular hits.
- Bar & Billiard Room
Established in 1896, the Bar & Billiard Room houses two original billiard tables from the turn of the century. A Continental lunch buffet is served on weekdays while a lavish brunch is offered on Sunday. With a fine selection of martinis, single malts, cognacs, armagnacs, Champagnes, ports, sherries, chocolates, coffee and Cuban cigars, it's no wonder the Bar & Billiard Room is also known as 'the Connoisseur's Haven'. In the evening live piano music and the snazzy jazz vocals of Claressa Monteiro entertain and complete the mood for dining in sophistication and style.
