Raffles’ restoration in phase two

Share  

Raffles Hotel Singapore has entered into the second phase in its careful and sensitive three-phase restoration. Some new lifestyle and social experiences that guests can look forward to when the hotel re-opens in middle of 2018 include a new 300-guest Grand Ballroom – formerly the Jubilee Hall theatre – a new spa in the Arcade, as well as refreshed dining concepts that will build on the charm and heritage of the hotel, offering guests an elevated level of sophistication and refinement.

Raffles Hotel Singapore’s new Grand Ballroom will be able to accommodate over 300 guests in the former historic Jubilee Hall theatre, with subtle design motifs and techniques recalling the heritage of the space. The introduction of the Grand Ballroom will enable guests to choose from two ballrooms in different areas of the hotel – with the former ballroom becoming the secondary ballroom due to its smaller capacity.

Phase two of the restoration involves some of the hotel suites and the hotel’s main building. During this time, the Raffles Gift Shop and 24-hour in-suite dining will continue to be available while the check-in experience will be presented in East India Rooms. All dining experiences, including the Singapore Sling, will be served at Bar & Billiard Room. A selection of suites continues to be available during this period and guests staying at Raffles will be able to enjoy facilities such as fitness centre and swimming pool at sister property, Fairmont Singapore that is located just across the street from Raffles.

The popular Long Bar and well-loved Tiffin Room will remain; their respective spaces will be refreshed and updated in order to evolve and remain relevant. Writer’s Bar, Raffles’ tribute to the literary luminaries who have stayed at the iconic hotel, will be enlarged and elevated to a full bar.
