There are more suites, but no front desk — plus celebrity chefs and a revamped afternoon tea service. Here's a peek inside Singapore's oldest and most iconic hotel.
After shutting its doors for more than two years, Raffles Singapore officially reopened this month. Built in 1887 as a 10-room hotel, the property has undergone just two restorations in its 132-year history — a rarity in a city where change is near constant.
Purists will delight that the hotel's façade — and the gravel driveway that once welcomed horse-drawn carriages — remain largely the same. Under the watchful wisdom of designer Alexandra Champalimaud, the interior redesign stays true to the property's illustrious past. Resident historian Leslie Danker gave his first tour 47 years ago, and he's still part of the team.Afternoon tea has always been a serious affair at the hotel; it's now served in the Grand Lobby .
