The serene atmosphere you experience after you have passed the magic little gate on the side of the building is fantastic. If the trip goes to south east asia, a treat is to stay over at Raffles. I simply adore the place. It's colonial style, the different bars and restaurants with a superb atmosphere and service. The famous billiard room... More

We recently stayed @ the Raffles Hotel in one of their Courtyard suites and had an impeccable experience at the hotel. Our expectations were high heading into our stay, given the reputation of the hotel, but all expectations were suitably met. One of the main factors that exceeded our expectations in the hotel was how much the hotel has retained... More

Raffles was excellent, right from arrival to departure. We stayed there only one night after a trip on the Eastern and Orient Express, the idea being the ultimate trip followed by the ultimate hotel, we were not disappointed. The building is stunning, and the "rooms", which are suites, are beautiful, old elegance beautifully maintained. And free wireless. We had dinner... More
