Many leading hotels have built their reputation on imitating one another. The Raffles in Singapore has never done that - it has its own way of giving each guest an individual welcome. From the moment that the turbaned doorkeeper helps you out of your car and welcomes you, you are made to feel that all the hotel cares about is your individual needs and preferences. The rooms, surroundings food and service are all superb and with your own butler ready to be summoned at the touch of a button,what else could one desire? I have visited the Raffles over a 45-year period - it remains superb and unique.
Shopping Tip : Ideally placed for the leading shops - if you can overcome the temptation to stay in the hotel all the time!

Efficient courteous staff, pleasant surroundings, bars, restaurants, good food, all facilities very very good. Although Raffles has consistently won awards for hospitality and service for decades, it is no doubt one of the world's best hotels. Ideally situated in central Singapore, with very close access to the various shopping malls & museums and other 'colonial' historic sites. Initial impressions were very favourable, from the pleasant door staff, reception staff who not only checked me in, but showed me to the suite and checked that I was totally satisfied with the rooms. Large bedroom, dining room, dressing room and bath/shower/toilet room on a first floor balcony overlooking the tropically planted courtyard gardens. Rooms were imaculate, serviced several times a day, fruit bowl replenished whenever it ran low (not charged for),
slippers, dressing gowns all supplied.
Breakfasts were a multiple choice included in the price, I never used any of the other restaurants so can't comment, bars were pleasant and attentative staff.
But can it really justify the prices!
Shopping Tip : Multiple shopping facilities very close.

Raffles hotel...with the history, valuable classical best hotel of the world. After the very early arrival around 6:00 to the hotel, they welcomed us with the splendid hospitality. I know that the pool area open 24h. So they recommended us to stay at the pool and take the shower there. Finally, we could go into the room at 11:00. Economically, in the hotel, we spent lots. Smooth reservation as a guest of the hotel, but cost higher, the restaurant the famous high-tea of the Tifin tearoom.
In Singapore, it's the only hotel that has 24h pool. The SPA of the Raffles starts from 8:00, the earliest. We slept at the pool side like refugees, but so welcomed like VIP. Served mint-tea by the SPA. I satisfied all. We stayed 26 hours for a stay. The room with high and high roof is calm and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is totally satisfied.
Shopping Tip : There are shopping wing full of marked shop. One of the carpet shop is excellent! At the front of the hotel, Raffles city are full of usable shops.
