Raffles Singapore

National monument hotel at 1 Beach Road, established in 1887 and refreshed in the 2017–2019 restoration that kept courtyard suites, the Long Bar and Singapore Sling ritual intact. The property remains the heritage counterweight to contemporary Orchard and Marina Bay hotels when diaspora families want one ceremonial stay in the Civic District. Book suites through raffles.com/singapore; confirm restaurant dress codes and Long Bar crowd expectations around Chinese New Year and Formula 1 weekends.
