"One of downtown’s best located hotels, well placed for Clarke and Boat quays and with part of its Ellenborough Market Café encroaching on the riverside promenade itself."

"The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."
