Raffles Hotel, Singapore


Taken with Canon powershot A75, dated Dec 2005


Opened in 1887, although at that time Raffles Hotel was in a sombre-looking colonial bungalow known as the Beach House, but over the years the hotel has evolved into one of the world's famous grand hotels. It was named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore.

The hotel houses a tropical garden courtyard, museum and Victorian-style theatre. It situated close to the city center, guests can take leisurely walks to the main shopping street and many great restaurants.
