Anyone interested in the history of Singapore and Asia will find Raffles Hotel essential and enjoyable. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, letters and artefacts from the Raffles Hotel Collection as well as specially commissioned photographs, Raffles Hotel takes the reader through the history of the legendary institution and, by association, the history of Singapore itself.

Raffles Hotel is not only about Singapore; it is about the personalities, adventurers, entrepreneurs, authors, heads of state and celebrities who have made their way and continue to make their way through the hotel. This book offers its readers a unique perspective on all these histories.
