Yes we realise this isn’t strictly speaking a new hotel. But it’s still a hot new hotel opening in 2019, and we are very excited about it.

The iconic luxury hotel, which first opening its doors in 1887, has been closed for a major refurbishment and is due to reopen in August 2019.

Raffles promises that they will retain all that is so special about Raffles Singapore – the ambiance, the service, the charm and the heritage of the hotel.

One new feature of the refurbishment is that the famous Long Bar has been restored and is returning to its original location – perfect to enjoy a Singapore Sling.
