Easily the most famous hotel in Singapore, no other establishment epitomises the island's colonial history better than Raffles Hotel Singapore. Named after Singapore's founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, the hotel was built by the Sarkies Brothers, responsible for other luxury hotels in the region during the colonial era. established.
Raffles Hotel, Palm Court
Raffles Hotel Singapore started as a privately owned beach house built in the early 1830s. It first became Emerson's Hotel when Dr. Charles Emerson leased the building in 1878. Upon his death in 1883, the hotel closed, and the Raffles Institution stepped in to use the building as a boarding house until Dr. Emerson's lease expired in September 1887.
Almost immediately after the first lease expired, the Sarkies Brothers leased the property from Syed Mohamed Alsagoff, its owner, with the intention of turning it into a high-end hotel. A few months later, on 1 December 1887, the ten-room Raffles Hotel opened. Its proximity to the beach and its reputation for high standards in services and accommodations made the hotel popular with wealthy clientele.
Within the hotel's first decade, three new buildings were added on to the original beach house. First, a pair of two-story wings were completed in 1890, each containing 22 guest suites. Soon afterward, the Sarkies Brothers leased a neighboring building at No. 3 Beach Road, renovated it, and in 1894, the Palm Court Wing was completed. The new additions brought the hotel's total guest rooms to 75.
A few years later, a new main building was constructed on the site of the original beach house. Designed by architect Regent Alfred John Bidwell of Swan and Maclaren, it was completed in 1899. The new main building offered numerous state-of-the-art (for the time) features, including powered ceiling fans and electric lights. In fact, the Raffles Hotel was the first hotel in the region to have electric lights

Raffles Singapore is a historic luxury hotel at Beach Road, in Singapore. It was established by Armenian hoteliers, the Sarkies Brothers, in 1887. The hotel was named after British statesman Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore.
The hotel has a long and interesting past. It is famous for lots of things including it being thought to be the home of the Singapore Sling Cocktail, served in the Long Bar as well as serving very upmarket afternoon teas.
In the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians, the main characters stay in Raffles Hotel when they arrive in Singapore.
This is the Harpist entertaining guests having afternoon tea at Raffles Hotel, Singapore.
The lady harpist was clearly very talented. In May 25 when we visited Lady Gaga was playing at a nearby stadium and the harpist had been given 24 hours notice to learn a full programme of her greatest hits. She was absolutely brilliant!.
Thanks for visiting.
Have a good weekend flickr friends.

There was SO much to photograph at this wonderful landmark in Singapore. This was just a small portion.
In Memory of the founder of Singapore. His statue is still standing tall at Boat Quay near the Asian Civilizations Museum.
Located at the tip of our Club's breakwater is Raffles Marina's own lighthouse. Built in 1994 and overlooking the Tuas Second Link – Singapore's second causeway to Malaysia, this 12 metres high icon flashes every 10 seconds with a beam that reaches 15 metres. The lighthouse is maintained by the Club and is the only lighthouse not owned and operated by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore.
The beacon is a popular spot for photography groups. The lighthouse, together with the marina, has been featured on wedding and lifestyle websites and blogs. It has been described as one of the most ideal and unique venues among couples for wedding photography and nautical themed weddings. Some of these photographs have been featured on sites such as Pinterest, Flickr and on Instagram via this hashtag, #rafflesmarinalighthouse. View more beautiful shots of the lighthouse here.
During the evenings, soak in the expanse of the beautiful sunset as you take a stroll down the pier to the lighthouse. While the lighthouse is open to the public for photo-shoots, visitors to the Club are required to respect and abide by the Club rules and regulations at all times. Kindly refer to the notice below.
