One of the great hotels of the world, the Raffles in Singapore has officially reopened, heralding an exciting new chapter in the iconic property’s rich history and heritage. The hotel originally opened in 1887 and is now the flagship property of the Accor hotel group, the world’s leading augmented hospitality group. Raffles Singapore is now welcoming guests and visitors, following the iconic hotel’s careful and sensitive three-phased restoration, which began in February 2017.
“There are few hotels in the world whose names have become virtually synonymous with the cities in which they are located – and none more so than the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. The newly restored Raffles will provide an experience like no other,” said Christian Westbeld, General Manager, Raffles Singapore. “It is our wish and desire that our guests will continue to create treasured memories at the hotel, while rediscovering what makes it so special – the distinctive architecture, heritage and legendary service.”
