It was founded in December 1887 during the British colonial period by the Sarkies Brothers, Persian-Armenian hoteliers.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In 1946, it reopened as a hotel.<\/p>\n<p>In 1987, Raffles Hotel was designated a national monument by the Singaporean government.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel is named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the British statesman and founder of modern Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>It is the flagship hotel of Raffles Hotels &#038; Resorts and is now managed by AccorHotels after Accor&#8217;s acquisition of FRHI Hotels &#038; Resorts. The hotel is owned by Katara Hospitality, a Qatar-based state-owned company.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0Table of Contents<br \/>\n00:00 Intro<br \/>\n00:45 Entrance\/Lobby<br \/>\n02:12 Afternoon Tea<br \/>\n05:18 Check-in<br \/>\n06:08 Walk from Lobby to My Suite<br \/>\n10:10 Suite Tour (Courtyard Suite King)<br \/>\n21:25 2nd Floor (Library, etc.)<br \/>\n24:56 3rd Floor (Gym, Pool, etc.)<br \/>\n28:14 Courtyard<br \/>\n30:06 Drinking a Singapore Sling at LONG BAR<br \/>\n33:37 Shopping Arcade and Raffles Boutique<br \/>\n39:07 Chinese Dinner at \u85dd y\u00ec by Jereme Leung<br \/>\n44:25 Night scene<br \/>\n48:03 Breakfast at Tiffin Room<br \/>\n54:09 Check-out<\/p>\n<p>#singapore #raffleshotel #raffleshotelsingapore #rafflessingapore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we&#8217;ll be staying at Raffles Hotel Singapore, a historic 5-star luxury hotel. \u25a0Hotel Information H<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[31,143104,143105,143106,30,20282,3414,10170,347],"class_list":{"0":"post-288197","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hair-care","8":"tag-conditioner","9":"tag-raffleshotel","10":"tag-raffleshotelsingapore","11":"tag-rafflessingapore","12":"tag-shampoo","13":"tag-singapore","14":"tag-ytccon","15":"tag-ytqualityhigh","16":"tag-b-pa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
