Our Big Extravagance!

I would be lying if I didn't admit that our 3 days at Raffles was the highlight of our recent visit to Singapore. From the moment we arrive, the service was discrete, polished and totally comprehensive. It was worth every $$

For anyone able to even contemplate a few days at this historic, tasteful hotel, I definitely recommend it!

    Nice nice nice. I know where we will stay. Pity about the premix, but the hotel looks just fabulous.

    Hi Therese, I last visited the Raffles in 1993 for a drink, old and not the place to stay long, now I most likely could not afford to stay.

    There ARE a lot of peanut shells on the floor in the Long Bar aren't there! I love the newspaper wrapper - I'd be off to the level where the healing is regardless!!

    It all looks very salubrious! Sadly, Raffles is off our agenda for a stay - though we may make it for a SS (if we don't pick up your "hidden" tip and get one in Little India).
