THE INSPIRATOR 鼓舞人心

DOUGLAS YOUNG the world’s Grand Dame hotels, has emerged from an extensive revitalisation more elegant than ever.

Following over 130 years of unsurpassed service excellence, Raffles Singapore has undergone a careful and sensitive restoration and has emerged as the new benchmark for luxury in the Lion City. The project included an expansion of its luxurious all-suite accommodation to 115, with the introduction of exquisite new suite categories, a revival of perennial favorites such as the legendary Singapore Sling at the Long Bar, the renowned Afternoon Tea at the Grand Lobby, the Raffles Boutique featuring exclusive Raffles merchandise, and the enlistment of globally celebrated celebrity chefs to head some of its new restaurants.

The grand hotel’s new Studio and Residence Suites feature its signature lofty colonial architecture, a charming verandah, and polished teakwood floors. Old-world accents such as original four-meter high ceilings harmonise perfectly with the Residence suites’ newly-added parlour, pantry, dining area and powder room. These changes were choreographed by Alexandra Champalimaud, the renowned design agency that has worked on some of the world’s great luxury hotels, including The Dorchester in London, Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles and The Waldorf Astoria New York.

The Raffles dining experience has also been elevated with ten new restaurants set to open, including two new concepts helmed by Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse and Anne-Sophie Pic. Chef Ducasse – with 20 restaurants already under his belt – has launched restaurant BBR by Alain Ducasse, situated within the hotel’s 122-year-old Bar & Billiard Room, serving Latin-Mediterranean cuisine with Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French influences. Three Michelin-starred Chef AnneSophie Pic is the visionary behind La Dame de Pic, serving delectable French cuisine with an emphasis on aromatic complexity, flavour combinations and powerful, emotive tastes. Another notable opening is that of Jereme Leung, one of the most influential chefs in the modern Chinese culinary movement. His restaurant 藝 (yì) by Jereme Leung, which stands for ‘Art’, is located within the refreshed Raffles Arcade, and focuses on centuries of culinary mastery and the intricacies of Chinese cuisine, from Cantonese classics to adaptions of China’s ancient delicacies.
