While the iconic Raffles could be considered to be past its prime — it did open in 1887 after all — there’s something about the charm and sophistication of this hotel that keeps people returning year after year. Widely recognised for the exceptional level of service, it’s worthwhile staying here at least once in your life just to experience it for yourself. The hotel is embarking on a restoration programme this year, so perhaps the best is yet to come for this stalwart.
