Enjoy your first three nights in pure luxury at the iconic, five-star Raffles hotel. As a haven for world travellers since 1887, Raffles has now become a national monument. Settle into your elegant suite, offering a calm oasis amidst the bustling city.

Bursting with old-world charm, Raffles is home to its own arcade, offering branded shops and the spa. Cool off and enjoy spectacular views in the rooftop pool. There is no shortage of dining options, with six restaurants, and three characterful bars, where you can enjoy a Singapore Sling where it was created.

Perhaps visit the Gardens by the Bay, where you can wander through the giant greenhouses by day, then watch the iconic Supertrees come to life in a striking light and sound display every evening.

Venture to Singapore’s characterful Chinatown, Little India and Bugis districts, offering you a culinary journey around the world, or head down to Clarke Quay to enjoy lively entertainment, dining and nightlife beside the water.
