“Heritage icon worth a special occasion”
Raffles Singapore is described as a luxurious heritage landmark that rewards the spend: beautiful, newly renovated spacious rooms, an old-money atmosphere, a quiet new-year refuge with a famous blue-fountain photo spot, and polished, warm service — one family received a suite upgrade, and butlers suit quieter guests. Breakfast and afternoon tea are praised, with pancakes and toast recommended, and an in-house hotel tour impresses. Two service hiccups are reported: a delayed chocolate delivery and a bedding request only partly fulfilled on the first attempt.
