Raffles Hotels & Resorts
Raffles is a prestige hotel brand born from the 1 December 1887 opening of Singapore's Raffles Hotel by the Armenian Sarkies brothers. Named after Stamford Raffles, founder of modern Singapore, the property became a colonial legend famous for its longstay literary guests. The group joined Accor in 2016 through the acquisition of FRHI Hotels & Resorts, and has since developed palaces defined by a signature butler service.
