Dining

Shinji by Kanesaka - Smart-casual sushi dining in an intimate setting.

Raffles Grill - An elegant dining room restored to its early-20th-century glory, with chandeliers, ceiling fans, tall French windows overlooking the Palm Court, crisp linens, and black wrought-iron chairs. Cuisine is a blend of classic and contemporary French. Open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner nightly; closed Sunday.

Empire Café - A casual restaurant modeled after a 1920s Singaporean coffee house, with tiled walls, marble-topped teakwood tables, and polished hard-back chairs. Cuisine emphasizes local favorites, including laksa and Hainan chicken rice. Open from mid-morning until late evening.

Royal China at Raffles - An opulently decorated Chinese restaurant with highly varnished floors and walls, arched ceilings, red-and-gold lanterns, and black-lacquer chairs. Signature dishes include lobster noodles, roast suckling pig, and dim sum. Open for lunch and dinner.

Ah Teng's Bakery - This small restaurant serves homemade pastries, sandwiches, and cakes. Antique-style tables and chairs and brass fittings give the space a nostalgic feel. Open from early morning until late evening.

Long Bar Steakhouse - Reminiscent of a 1930s rubber-plantation dwelling, with an intricately tiled floor, white walls, timbered ceiling, collection of antique plates, crisp linens, and carved-back chairs. Cuisine emphasizes steaks and seafood prepared with Asian spices. Open for lunch Monday through Friday, nightly dinner, and Sunday brunch.

Seah Street Deli - A New York-style delicatessen, circa 1950, with music from a jukebox and generously sized sandwiches, entrées, and salads. Open from mid-morning until late evening.

Tiffin Room - This elegant dining room continues a tradition of serving a lunch and dinner tiffin curry buffet that began in 1890. Cuisine is Northern Indian, with a thali set served on a platter of ornate silver. Open for breakfast, lunch, high tea, and dinner.

Raffles Courtyard & Gazebo Bar - Offering alfresco dining under swaying palms in a tropical garden, with seafood and other fare prepared Asian-style. Open from mid-morning until late evening.

A Continental lunch buffet and high tea are served on weekdays, and brunch is available weekends. Live jazz is featured on weekday evenings. Open from mid-morning until late evening.

Long Bar - Home of the Singapore Sling cocktail, this two-story bar evokes a Malayan planters' club from the 1930s, with its dark-wood timbered floor and walls, low wicker chairs, and period artifacts. Traditional pub fare and light snacks are served, and there is live music most evenings. Open from midday until late evening.

Writer's Bar - This intimate lounge honors the literary luminaries who have stayed at the hotel or written about it, including Rudyard Kipling, Noël Coward, and Somerset Maugham. A pianist plays most afternoons and evenings. Open from mid-morning until late evening.

Raffles Creamery - A teppanyaki-style ice cream parlor offering 30 flavours of quality homemade ice cream and sherbet with mix-ins such as fresh fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, and brownies. Fruit smoothies, milk shakes, and freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices are also on the menu. Open from mid-morning till late-evening.

“Luxury Old World Style”

Our very special holiday got off to a fantastic start with 4 nights in Raffles. It is an old hotel and bits of it are tired but on the whole it is excellence of the highest order with service (and prices) to match. Anyone seeking to spoil themselves and capture the ambiance of empire days long gone by should quite simply indulge themselves at Raffles.

Area recommendations
See everywhere by bus, boat and taxi. It is not a big city.

“Absolutely awesome”

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there, will now be celebrating 35 years, 40 years.....at The Raffles. Made us feel very welcome and special. The whole Raffles experience was more than we ever imagined and can't wait to start saving to go back again.

Area recommendations
Singapore is such a clean safe city to get around, taxis and public transport are both easy to use. We did the dinner on the Singapore Flyer, which was amazing, walked the shops along Orchard Road and went across on the cable car to Sentosa to do the Megazip (which unfortunately was closed for maintenance - very disappointed that there was no way of knowing this beforehand). Fantastic city to visit.
Getting there
We flew Air Aisa to KL then onto Singapore, KL low cost airport was hectic, but manageable. From the airport to The Raffles we walked straight out and got a taxi - very cheap and was at the hotel in next to no time. Don't need transfers in Singapore when the taxis are so available.

“Must Do Experiance”

Hotel was unbelievable, beat all expectations of what we had read and researched. Not one detail overlooked.Excellant staff very attentive,. We were their for our silver wedding aniversary, on returning to the suite on the first night the bedroom was decorated with singapore orchids and swan decoration, most unexpected but an excellant taste. Food was excellant and plentiful.

Area recommendations
In town, handy base to whereever you want to visit, several large malls within easy walkig distance.
When to go
As tropical, it rains all year round but more rain Nov to Feb. Rain mainly afternoons. we had rain 3 afternoons out of 7, but it did not stop us going out.

“good experience”

Though the main hotel and lobby areas were gorgeous,the courtyard suites need to be renovated.Our room had wooden floors which were squeaky -that annoyed us tremendously!! We wanted to experience Raffles for the colonial syle -which we did ,but we will not be staying there again.

“Bob & Kym Brisbane”

A wonderful place to stay. Full of history and splendid settings. Great staff and service all round. Would recommend any day as a great alternative to the generic modern 4 and 5 star hotels.

“Lived up to my (very high!) expectations”

There are many modern, luxury hotels with better fixtures, furnishings and fancier decor, but, for me, Raffles was everything I hoped it would be: understated colonial charm, cool, white walls and superb service. When the staff said they were pleased to help, you really believed them. My butler, Alvaro, was genuinely interested in meeting a slightly unusual request and thought about the best ways to help. And the only place I found in SE Asia to serve tea with cold, fresh milk (thankfully!). Frankly, this may well be the place I chose to go when I die...

“Loved it”

This hotel is really something special. It is so beautiful and our Palm Court suite was quiet and lovely to come back to at the end of the day. All the staff were quite exceptional. We would go back again. Restaurants in the hotel are very expensive. We ate in the Long Bar Steak House (nice enough but bad value). Ah Teng's Bakery is worth a visit - the 'sets " are good value and quite delicious. Get hungry, then try the Earl Grey Chocolate Sphere (yummm) Singapore Sling in the long bar - cliched and expensive - but you have to do it. lol Great situation - the MRT is under Raffles City shopping mall across the road. The MRT is fantastic - even if you aren't used to public transport. Suntec City is just a short walk away where there are cheap (but good) eating places and the terminal for the hop-on/off buses.

Area recommendations
The malls in Orchard Rd are huge but what I really enjoyed were the little market-style shops in Chinatown between South Bridge and North Bridge Rd (Sago, Smith, Temple, Pagoda) and Little India (Serangoon Rd and Tekka Centre) I felt very safe, so go again without your husband if he is a bad shopper. The Zoo - trickier to get to but worth it. Botanical Gardens - the Orchid garden is a must. Equinox Restaurant on 70th floor of Swissotel for buffet high tea (3.30 - 5.00 pm) was sublime for the view and very good value. Highly recommend.

“Excellent Hotel, spoiled by initial attempt to force upgrade”

Upon arrival the desk clerk tried to get us to upgrade the room at our cost. We had not even seen the room we booked. Luckily we refused as the room we had was perfect. After this initial problem, we really enjoyed our stay. Just a warning to others, do not get seduced by upgrades until you have checked the room you originally booked!

All of Singapore is worth checking out!
