I feel very adventurous.
There are so many doors to
be opened, and I’m not afraid
to look behind them.~ Elizabeth Taylor

Once a tidal marsh, Boston’s Back Bay has been filled in and transformed into a landscape of emerald grounds, vibrant streets, and historic townhomes that have come to define the city. It is home to the distinguished figures who have shaped our past and the visionaries who will inspire our future. Today it is this neighborhood, with its layered history and its air of possibility, that Raffles is proud to call its own.

Ablaze with electric lights that emanated from its grand interior, the original Raffles Hotel in Singapore was a welcome sight for travelers alighting on shore. Since 1887, it has hosted writers, artists, dignitaries, musicians, royalty, and movie stars who would dance and mingle in the splendor of the grand ballroom or lounge beneath the fragrant frangipani trees.

To stay at Raffles was to forge treasured memories, and to this day it remains an unforgettable highlight for guests throughout the years.

Across the globe, Raffles properties stand as a refuge and retreat for distinguished guests in search of adventure. They are visions of paradise in a world rich with textures, stories, and possibilities. You will find them at the foot of ancient civilizations, fabled ports, and emerald coves. From the cultural mélange of Paris to the verdant jungles that envelop Angkor Wat, the sparkling waters of the Maldives to the desert cityscape of Dubai, our ideals of hospitality are warm, personal, and sincere.
