Step inside the wondrous Raffles Hotel in Singapore that’s steeped in history and now flaunts a new look after a three-phase restoration, which began in February 2017. Reimagined by noted interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud and architectural firm Aedas, the space offers an enhanced experience with its suite count increasing from 103 to 115 following the restoration.
The Raffles Arcade has been newly outfitted with an exquisite Raffles Boutique and bespoke retail brands to enliven the shopper in you. On the dining front, expect to be delighted by collaborations with French master chef Alain Ducasse and Chef Jereme Leung, known for his inventive Chinese cooking, among others.

Prior to this, the hotel went through restoration between 1989 and 1991 and was closing for two-and-a-half years. Launched in 1887, Raffles Hotel was declared a National Monument by the Singapore Government in 1987 and has since been recognized as an oasis for international travelers.
