Raffles Hotel Singapore

In multi-cultural Singapore, it is not surprising that the visionary founders of Raffles Hotel were a quartet of enterprising Armenian brothers; Martin, Tigran, Aviet and Arshak Sarkies. Opened in 1887 in a sprawling colonial bungalow known as Beach House, the Hotel was named after Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of modern Singapore.

Over the years, the hotel has evolved into one of the world's most beloved Grand Hotels and welcomed innumerable celebrities, writers, and royalty. Declared a National Monument in 1987, the Hotel has grown from strength to strength. With its restoration and re-opening in 1991, Raffles Hotel today stands as a jewel in the crown of Singapore's hospitality industry renowned and loved for it's inimitable style and unsurpassed excellence in service and facilities.

Raffles Hotel features 103 elegantly appointed suites, 18 distinctive restaurants and bars, the world-class Amrita Spa, Raffles Hotel Arcade housing the best in regional specialties and international brand names, including THOS SB Raffles - an incubator shop offering lifestyle concepts and products as well as a purveyor of fine food and wines, the Raffles Hotel Museum, the Jubilee Hall theatre playhouse, the Raffles Culinary Academy and extensive lush gardens and courtyards.
