A global luxury brand with hospitality at its heart, Raffles Hotels & Resorts encompasses 20 ultra luxury hotels and resorts in key international destinations, some with additional branded private residences. Four further hotel properties will open under the Raffles brand in 2024-25. Named after the pioneering British founder of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, the Raffles brand is synonymous with the elegant British etiquette, effortless glamour and sophistication of an earlier era, while bringing a sensibility that is in tune with the lives of our well-travelled guests – at once a vibrant heart and a tranquil haven.

At Raffles our service style is warm, personalised and gracious, with a legendary spirit of generosity embodied by our signature Raffles Butlers. We have led the way in creating hotel interiors that are art museums in their own right; we are fertile ground for creativity in the culinary arts, attracting leading chefs; and we work with expert practitioners and specialist partners to create next-generation wellness experiences. We have always sought to preserve both cultural and natural heritage, employing historians, marine biologists and art curators within the properties, to underline an experience that is truly authentic.

At Raffles, visitors arrive as guests, leave as friends and return as family. Along the way they will discover a place to celebrate, adventure, exchange ideas and be inspired; and a new meaning of luxury that touches the emotions as elegantly as the Raffles name itself.
