PB hotel design editorial

When Syed Mohamed Alsagoff commissioned Regent Alfred John Bidwell of Swan & Maclaren to expand what had begun as a modest beachside bungalow in 1887, nobody could have anticipated that the resulting Raffles Hotel would become the most mythologised address in colonial Asia. The main building as it stands today — three storeys of chalk-white Neoclassical plasterwork, terracotta-tiled hipped roofs, and deep verandah arcades wrapped around a central courtyard — dates from 1899, and emerged from a two-year, SGD$160-million restoration completed in 2019 under the direction of Champalimaud Design. That intervention brought the property's 115 suites back to a condition that honours the bones of the original without lapsing into pastiche: dark-stained timber four-poster beds anchor rooms with soaring coved ceilings and original arched fanlights, blue-and-white Chinoiserie ceramic lamps set against linen-pale panelling, botanical-patterned rugs in ink and cream grounding the dark hardwood floors. The public spaces carry the atmosphere of a place that has always known exactly what it is. The Long Bar, reimagined with its original black-lacquered counter, green-shaded pendant lamps, paddle fans suspended from a coffered teak ceiling, and a geometric black-and-white encaustic tile floor, situates the Singapore Sling cocktail in its proper theatrical context. Beyond it, the pool pavilion — its colonnaded loggia framing a mosaic-tiled lap pool with Marina Bay's skyline hovering just beyond the treeline — makes the argument, quietly but convincingly, that no amount of contemporary construction has quite displaced this compound from the centre of Singapore's self-image.

"Raffles Hotel in Singapore is iconic… And for good reason. The decadent experience starts with the wonderfully adorned doorman and finishes with…the doorman opening the door to our complimentary chauffeured ride across town. Walking down the red carpet into the amazing foyer with it’s beautiful marble, exquisite flower arrangement and immensely beautiful chandelier… You could think you’d walked into the Taj Mahal. There are no tigers here anymore just a haven or serenity, exquisite service, lush gardens and a very special aura. This is an oasis in a bustling Asian metropolis, the doorman, fending off jealous tourists with charm and sincerity. We were upgraded to a Palm Court suite, richly decorated in the very finest materials. The marble bathrooms, four poster bed, complimentary fine chocolates, and petit fours all exceptional. Breakfast around the fountain was a highlight, Butcher’s Block worthy of its Michelin Star and the Long bar heaving with tourists devouring Singapore Slings wishing they were staying. The Writers Bar was exceptional. Surrounded by literary history including the likes of Somerset Maughan, Joseph Conrad and JK Rowling. With these cocktails in hand, you could write an odyssey. A special thank you to Dominic who looked after us so well when we had breakfast in the courtyard and Vania, our wonderful butler. The Raffles name is legendary in Singapore and Raffles Hotel is the jewel in its crown. SUPERB. In. Every. Way!!!"

"We recently stayed in the beautiful timeless Raffles Hotel Singapore and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and elegant, the staff are lovely and will look after every whim. Vikram the Sikh Doorman set the tone when he welcomed us and was very kind every time we walked past. The Tiffin Resturant served some amazing curry and is highly recommended and pay a visit to the long bar. The Singapore sling was okay but the atmosphere and vibe were wonderful. Make sure you get to spin the contraption that they use the make the cocktail."
