Important information
Please note that restoration works on the property will take place in three phases. During Phase One, starting from 13 February 2017 to 15 August 2017, Long Bar, Long Bar Steakhouse, the retail arcade and some banquet facilities will be unavailable. The Singapore Sling will still continue to be served at its new temporary home, the Bar & Billiard Room while other areas of the property will continue daily operations. Raffles Singapore will start Phase Two from 16 August 2017, where the main building, spa, swimming pool, fitness centre and certain suites will be unavailable. Raffles Gift Shop and the 24-hour in-suite dining remain unaffected. All dining experiences, including the Singapore Sling will be served at the Bar & Billiards Room. The property has made alternative arrangements for guests to enjoy the swimming pool, fitness centre and spa at a sister property, Fairmont Singapore. The hotel will be fully closed during Phase Three, taking place at the end of 2017 and is planned for a grand reopening in the middle of 2018. === Please provide the hotel with your flight details before arrival.
