Frommer's "If price is no object, then Raffles will deliver a blend of luxury, history, and colonial ambiance no other hotel can match." Full review

Oyster Kid-Friendly
"This hotel is a solid luxury choice for business and leisure travelers, and anyone who appreciates history and old-fashioned charm." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Though celebrating its 125th birthday in 2012, the hotel is still a magnet for A-listers (Elizabeth Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and Barry Diller have all stayed here)." Full review
Rough Guide "The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."
Star Service "The spirit of this old dame manages to shine through, and she deserves all the pleasantries bestowed upon her." Full review
Gayot "This 103-room colonial grand dame dating to 1887 offers an equally impressive list of modern business facilities."
Afar Magazine "A hotel whose name is instantly recognizable, the Raffles Singapore is pure colonial confection, a landmark maintained in its original style, with liveried Sikh doormen greeting guests." Full review

Frommer's "There's a pleasant buzz about the Orchard Hotel. Perhaps it's the giant wrought-iron clock in the center of the lobby, ticking away the time in London, Tokyo, Singapore, and New York,..." Full review
Fodor's "Its proximity to the activity on Orchard Road, several embassies, and the Botanic Gardens has no doubt contributed to this hotel's popularity." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Orchard has a much lower profile than its big-brand neighbours on Orchard Rd and can't claim the same levels of luxury that most of these offer."
Star Service "The hotel is composed of two towers; the accommodations in the Orchard Wing have received much-needed makeovers, while the rooms in the Claymore Wing remain in good shape." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"The 656-room Orchard Hotel Singapore is an upscale property next to the infamous Orchard Towers and near Orchard Road's major shopping areas." Full review
