Raffles Hotel Holidays

The Raffles Hotel was founded by two Armenian brothers from Persia—Martin and Tigran Sarkies in 1887. With their innovative cuisine and extensive modernisations, the firm built the hotel into a world renowned icon.

It was named after Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, whose statue had been unveiled in 1887.

The hotel also houses the Raffles Hotel Museum, which displays the rich history of the hotel. People from all over the world returned items and memorabilia of their stay at the 'grand lady of the Far East'; photographs, postcards, menus and old, rare editions of works from famous writers who stayed there. These items are displayed in the museum along with photographs of its famous guests and visitors.
 
Raffles Hotel’s shopping arcade houses boutique brands such as Louis Vuitton, Surrender, and Tiffany & Co. The arcade houses most of the hotel's restaurants. It also has shops such as the custom tailor, CYC Custom Shop, which makes shirts for Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, and the third and current Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong. 
 
In 1991 the hotel was restored to its heyday of 1915 with significant changes made. All the rooms are converted suites with teak-wood floors, handmade carpets, and 14-foot ceilings. You can visit the much storied Long Bar, where the Singapore Sling cocktail drink was invented.
 
The Raffles Hotel is probably the world’s most famous hotel. The visitors have included some of the great literati and movie stars of the past and present.
 
This is an oasis for the well-travelled and a must stop on anyone’s list of famous attractions.
