Easily the most famous heritage hotel in Singapore, Raffles Hotel practically sums up Singapore’s vibrant colonial history. Named after Singapore’s founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, the hotel opened in 1887. With its garden setting and classical architecture, the hotel has since morphed into an icon. Authors such as Somerset Maugham, Herman Hesse, and Rudyard Kipling have stayed in one of its many rooms. The hotel’s Long Bar is also home to the legendary Singapore Sling, originally concocted by Ngiam Tong Boon, one of its bartenders.
