Raffles Hotel Singapore ranked “No. 1 Hotel in Singapore” at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2023!

Few will be surprised to discover that Singapore’s grand dame Raffles takes the crown. There’s no hotel quite like Raffles, not anywhere in the world. This is a hotel so emblematic of the country it inhabits, they’re inseparable. Picture Singapore, and you can’t help but think of Raffles.

It’s a property with a rich literary heritage — Conrad and Kipling and Maugham, oh my! — and a celebrity guestlist dotted with royalty of both aristocratic and cinematic varieties, not to mention numerous musical deities. (Please do Google the ridiculously stylish images of Bowie’s stay in 1983.) This is a hotel that transports you to a graceful bygone era, while still offering every modern convenience, magnificent cuisine and service par excellence. If traveling is about getting away from it all, Raffles not only takes you to another place, but another time.
