A hotel in Singapore that you must stay at least once in your life

Life advice: When in Singapore, you must stay at the Raffles at least once! The Raffles Hotel, shining in the skyline of the Lion City, is a building with a century of history, and is considered a cultural heritage and artistic treasure of Singapore. The hotel was built in 1887 and has a history of 136 years, almost serving as a microcosm of Singapore's colonial history. It is one of the oldest hotels in Singapore, as well as one of the most famous landmark buildings, favored by writers, movie actors, politicians, and other celebrities. Somerset Maugham, Rudyard Kipling, Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jackson, and Queen Elizabeth II have all stayed here. The hotel is a typical example of Neo-Renaissance architecture. The white walls paired with smoothly lined columns, and the ubiquitous verandas add a touch of British style, with intricate and exquisite decorations, grand yet elegant. Every window, every archway seems to be telling stories of the past. Welcome to share your thoughts, and more great places are waiting for your review.
