Raffles hotels blend historical heritage with modern luxury
The Raffles hotel brand is expanding its legacy of luxury hospitality through historical preservation and modern reinterpretation. In Singapore, the Raffles Hotel has maintained its status as a social and cultural landmark since 1887. Founded by the Sarkies brothers, the hotel is known for traditions such as afternoon tea, butler service, and its historical connection to literary figures like Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling.
In London, Raffles London at The OWO has established itself as a modern icon by transforming the former Old War Office. Once associated with Winston Churchill and British intelligence services, the historic Whitehall building now features opulent interiors, a Guerlain Spa, and various dining venues, blending British history with contemporary luxury.
