Raffles Singapore

Singapore Sling

Opened in 1887, Raffles Singapore is an «institution», a splendid colonial building, recently renovated and located right in the heart of Singapore's business district. No stay in the Lion City would be complete without a visit to this iconic hotel. Shortly after its opening in 1887, Raffles came to be regarded as a benchmark for travellers worldwide, arriving from all shores to experience its subtle blend of grandeur and charm. Staying at Raffles has almost become a rite of passage for discerning travellers, who happily gather in one of the 6 restaurants or 3 bars of this timeless establishment, before enjoying the cosy charm of one of the 115 suites...

THE EXTRAORDINARY

The décor of the Long Bar is inspired by 1920s Malayan life. Dark colours, raw materials and lush greenery transport guests back to the days of rubber plantations. While sipping a Singapore Sling, in keeping with the relaxed atmosphere of the place, guests are invited to throw their peanut shells on the floor. It is probably the only place in Singapore where this gesture is permitted!

ETHICS

The Planet 21 programme demonstrates the Accor Group's ambitious objectives for the future, built around 4 strategic priorities: working with its employees, involving its guests, innovating with its partners, and working with local communities. Two key strengths are at the heart of these initiatives: food (organic, local, seasonal, waste reduction, etc.) and buildings (recycling, energy consumption management, insulation, etc.).
