Raffles Hotel

Victorian flair in a monument

The revamped Raffles Hotel – with its 875 designer-uniformed staff (a ratio of two staff to every guest) and over 100 suites (each fitted with Persian carpets), eight restaurants, a culinary academy, five bars, playhouse and custom-built, leather-upholstered cabs – is the jewel in the crown of Singapore’s tourist industry. In true Singapore style, it manages to boast a 5000-sq-m shopping arcade and there’s even a museum (daily 1000-1900, free) of rafflesian memorabilia on the third floor. Raffles Hotel’s original (but restored) billiard table still stands in the Billiard Room. The Palm Court is still there and so is the Tiffin Room, which still serves tiffin (a snack/lunch).
