The retreat of tuan and mem. The last living link with the past. The most nostalgic hostelry in the world. Raffles is an institution of travel, an attraction as much as the Pyramids are in Egypt or the Empire State is in New York. But more than these, it is not just a place to see but an atmosphere to experience. And so it has been said that you have not seen Singapore, or the East, until you have been to Raffles. This then is the story of the hotel, a hundred years all told. A history coloured with the names of the famous and glamorous who lived there, hallmarked by a continuing sybaritic style. It is also the story of the Singapore Sling and the Long Bar, the Palm Court and the Tiffin Room, Cad's Alley and the Billiard Room, all part of the ambiance and legends which make Raffles a great hotel. A book in celebration of all that is uniquely Raffles.
