There are few hotels in the world whose names have become virtually synonymous with the cities in which they are located – and none more so than Raffles in Singapore.
Named after Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore, Raffles started as a 10-room bungalow 125 years ago. This Singapore hotel soon became the haunt of business tycoons, the great and the good, rogues and adventurers, politicians, movie stars, authors and journalists.
Visiting writers included Rudyard Kipling, Somerset Maugham and Noel Coward, a host of foreign correspondents – all of whom contribute to the stories and legends, fact and fiction, which have clung to this luxury hotel. Singapore has become one of the popular settings for these great artistic masterpieces ever since. Through their stories, the Long Bar, the Palm Court and the Billiard Room with its tiger, became familiar to people who had never even been to Singapore.
Come September 2012, Raffles Hotel (raffles.com) will be celebrating its 125th anniversary with a host of activities.
