The Bar/Lounge at Raffles Hotel Singapore

"Long before the 1991 renovation that transformed the hotel from a run-down curio into a gleaming landmark, a Singapore Sling at the hotel's Long Bar, where the sugary pink cocktail was first mixed, was de rigueur for visitors"

"The hotel also features fifteen restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a luxurious spa"

"And the bar still mixes a mean Singapore Sling"

"Amenities include a dozen restaurants and bars, a rooftop pool and a spa"

"You can also head to The Long Bar which promises “every alcoholic concoction imaginable” along with the signature Singapore Sling"

"And if, like us, your vacation isn’t complete without an umbrella-topped libation, then head to the Long Bar, where legend has it the country’s national drink, the Singapore Sling, was invented in 1915"

"Only residents are allowed into the private inner lobby, or to stroll across the polished teak verandas overlooking tropical courtyards to suites decorated with a small elegant lounge, period furnishings, and a lovely four-poster bed"

"Three phones and service call buttons, wireless high-speed Internet access (for a fee), two cable TVs, minibars, safes and large desks are standard features"
