I thought it would be fun to begin a new series on Fridays, sharing a few of my favorite hotels around the world…so to kick things off, let’s head to Singapore!
My father had the opportunity to take a round the world trip back in the 1970’s…his group stayed at all the world’s best hotels at the time. Hands down, his favorite was Raffles Singapore. One of his greatest wishes was to take my mother back there to see it. Sadly, that never happened as my dad passed away prematurely. I had the pleasure of staying at Raffles twenty years later and am not the least bit surprised it was my dad’s favorite…it is one of my favorites too.
Here are examples of a few room types…not too shabby, right??

I hope you enjoyed this little virtual escape to Raffles Singapore…as their tagline goes, “While at Raffles, why not visit Singapore?”
Have an absolutely lovely weekend, my friends…wherever you may be wandering…
xoxo
Sandy,
Good morning! Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos this morning!
I have never been to Raffles but I have read and heard much about. Should I find myself in Singapore this is on my list.
I cannot wait to see more of your favorite hotels!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Not too shabby, indeed, Sandy! I especially love the striped poolside lounge chairs – now that would be the perfect spot to stretch out and enjoy a cocktail or three! Happy Weekend and happy August! XOXO
You are absolutely right, Raffles is a very special place and I can't believe that just over a week ago we were actually sipping on one of those Singapore Slings!
Holy smokes…that is AMAZING!!! Wow what a gorgeous and opulent, elegant hotel!! Need to add that to my bucket list, any room that is complete with fine oriental rugs is a hotel I must visit: I am impressed!
Have a wonderful weekend Sandy.
I love that the rooms look like someone's collected room and not a furniture showroom! It is stunning. So glad you experienced it!!! Have a great weekend . Xo Nancy
What a wonderful opportunity for your dad to be able to travel around the world. I'm so sorry that he passed away before being able to return to Raffles Singapore with your mom. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your favorite places as my list of "Sandy Recommendations" grows!
I am terribly late, AGAIN…do you think they've held my reservation? I hope so, for I want to jump on board with you to this fabulous destination my friend! HAPPY WEEKEND!
What a special story you've shared about your dad, Sandy. It must have been incredible to travel to that place, many years later, and remember his enjoyment. These photos are exquisite!
xx
Beautiful post Sandy, Lovely hotel!
Wow-beautiful photos. Would love to visit Raffles Singapore. You did a lovely job of taking me to Hong Kong!
so, so beautiful!! I'm dying to go to Asia and still have not been….I think it will be a while too….which is just so upsetting. This seems like an amazing hotel! I'm glad you got to go and enjoy one of your dad's favorites!
I've been to Singapore only once, and sadly did not stay at Raffles, we passed by the hotel daily but I didn't know about it and never bothered to take a peak, now I wish I did. You should go there someday, Singapore is soooo small, you can go around the whole country in less than a day!
