About
Singapurs berühmtestes Luxushotel aus der Kolonialzeit, gegründet 1887. Geburtsort des Singapore Sling Cocktails und ein Symbol kolonialer Pracht.
Raffles Hotel stands at 1 Beach Road in Singapore, a colonial-era luxury hotel that has been part of the city's story since it was established in 1887. It was once known as the Grand Hotel de l'Europe, a name that still hints at the grand ambitions of its early years.
Today the hotel is one of Singapore's best-known landmarks and a symbol of colonial grandeur. For many visitors, the appeal lies less in any single feature than in the sense of stepping into a building that has watched the city change around it.
What to expect
- Architecture and atmosphere: a traditional, stately setting that reflects the colonial period in which it was built.
- A famous drink: Raffles is the birthplace of the Singapore Sling cocktail, a natural draw for those who enjoy a historic bar stop.
- A walk through history: the building itself is the main attraction, so a visit suits anyone interested in heritage and the city's past.
Planning your visit
The hotel is easy to reach on Beach Road in the city centre, so it fits well into a day of exploring Singapore's downtown area. For current details, you can call the hotel on +65 6337 1886 before you go.
