Raffles Singapore is a historic luxury hotel located at 1 Beach Road, Singapore. It was founded in December 1887 during the British colonial period by the Sarkies Brothers, Persian-Armenian hoteliers.
When it opened on December 1, 1887, the hotel had just 10 rooms and was called the Beach House because of its proximity to the beach. Its proximity to the beach and reputation for its high level of service and accommodations made it popular with the wealthy. The hotel continued to expand, adding buildings, facilities, and rooms.
On February 15, 1942, when the Japanese occupation of Singapore began, the hotel was requisitioned by the Japanese military and used as accommodation for army officers. During World War II, it was called the Shonan Ryokan.
In 1945, the hotel was recaptured by the Royal Navy during Operation Tiderace. Shortly after the end of World War II in August 1945, it was briefly used as a British military barracks and a temporary prisoner of war camp.
In 1946, it reopened as a hotel.
In 1987, Raffles Hotel was designated a national monument by the Singaporean government.
In 1989, the hotel closed for a two-year, extensive renovation, costing $160 million. The hotel reopened on September 16, 1991. It was restored to its 1915 splendor, but significant changes were also made, and all rooms were converted into suites.
The hotel is named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the British statesman and founder of modern Singapore.
It is the flagship hotel of Raffles Hotels & Resorts and is now managed by AccorHotels after Accor’s acquisition of FRHI Hotels & Resorts. The hotel is owned by Katara Hospitality, a Qatar-based state-owned company.

ちょうど宿泊したいと思ってラッフルズホテルについて調べていたので嬉しいです。動画をありがとうございます。セントーサにもラッフルズが出来たようなので、気になっています。
I will stay there soon enough
Hi ST this is a great video. Raffles Hotel is stunning beautiful. The exterior, beautiful entrance and the common areas, especially the lobby are exquisite. The suite was nice but the furnishings were disappointing except for the wardrobes and TV Cabinet. You always do a fantastic job covering hotels and airlines. Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend 👍❤️😎👋🇺🇸
Flawless walkthrough! 🌟 The way you captured Raffles’ blend of heritage and modern elegance is exactly what jetsetters crave 🛫🍸. It’s rare to see such detail that makes planning a stay effortless🙌🏾
Maybe I missed it but was breakfast included in the room price and if not, how much was it?
one of the very few channels whose videos i actually wait for

Bayım video için size minnettarım emeğiniz için teşekkür ederim
your video remind me with my trip in Singapore , I visited Singapore quite often long time ago and ever stayed at this hotel once (I didn't remember which year), this is luxury, Classic, historical and elegant style hotel. I bought Singapore sling glass for Souvenirs and ate Indian food. it was unforgettable experience.
Great video thanks.👍👌
Beautiful! I can’t get over how clean it is there. I was surprised there was no turn down service for that price. Thank you again for a lovely hotel tour! 😊
The item in the bathroom you didn't recognize is for rings. You take them off when you wash your hands and set them there.
My old home i lived in Singapore for 5 glorious years and i absolutely loved it Raffles was one of our favourite hotels in Singapore so special
سفر موفق بصحتك ❤❤❤
Saying “Complementary”amenities is an insult to say at the price of the room. Do they think their guests are stupid. Nothing is free in that hotel.😌
Bendiciones gracias
