Here is an overview of all Raffles hotels worldwide
Almost everyone who has visited Singapore is familiar with the name Raffles. This could be due to Sir Stamford Raffles founding the port city, passing through Raffles Place MRT station, or discovering the iconic Raffles Hotel while searching for accommodation. This historic 5-star hotel, opened in 1887, is undoubtedly one of Singapore’s finest.
A century after its opening, Raffles Hotel began expanding, acquiring two hotels in Cambodia. In 2001, it acquired Swissôtel and joined Fairmont Hotels in 2005. Since 2016, the brand has been under Accor and has expanded significantly, opening 10 hotels in the past six years. Today, there are 21 Raffles hotels worldwide, offering guests an exceptionally luxurious experience.

The wide price range of this luxury brand is quite fascinating. Even within the same region, some hotels have rates in the four-digit range, while others are around $250-350. In terms of locations, the brand has a strong presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, it has a minimal footprint in Europe and is nearly non-existent in America, Africa, and Oceania.
For those in Europe looking to experience a night at a Raffles hotel, a short trip to Warsaw could be an intriguing option.
