Its a cool looking hotel and a beautiful bar (Long Bar), staffed by harried waiters who are SICK of tourists ordering Singapore Slings at $27 each. Yep. At least I had some peanuts to keep me company and you'd better believe that I ate all of them to get my money's worth from that $27 drink!

as others have mentioned, it is extremely busy at all times in the long bar. We managed to get a seat amongst all the peanut shells on the floor on the table. You are given a bowl of peanuts and everybody just throws the shells wherever they like. Singapore slings were okay but the service was little slow and the... More

Everyone should visit the bar at Raffles at least once to experience the peanut shells on the floor, the unique ceiling fans and the (expensive) Singapore slings which made this place famous.

I was lucky enough to have the High Tea At Raffles, it was an experience I will not forget. Yum Cha, sandwiches with no crusts, pettit fours, cakes, fruit, jelly. scones jam and clotted cream what a feast.. Champagne, Tea and Coffee flowed while the music was played of course on a Harp. If you have the chance take it,... More
