Star Service "Just blocks away from Raffles Place and the Singapore stock exchange, Sofitel So Singapore artfully marries architectural and artistic styles in a spirited fusion that its host city is known for." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Sofitel So doesn't take itself too seriously, displaying a kind of Ian Schrager-meets-Philippe Starck postmodern whimsy and flair." 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
