Raffles Singapore was founded by Armenian refugees with a vision to create newfound hotel luxury in Singapore. The hotel bears the name of the founder of modern Singapore and with Accor acquiring the hotel, as part of a $2.7 billion deal, Raffles is a name you will be hearing more often as more Raffles hotels open around the world. Raffles represents almost everything I love about hotels. You get a strong sense that Raffles employees really love what they do and are exceptional at it. The bricks and mortar of the hotel, with its stark white, contrast in such a lovely way with the lush green foliage of the hotel’s tropical gardens.
Raffles has never looked better. There is nowhere else quite like Raffles.
