Raffles Hotel is one of Singapore's most prestigious hotels. Its iconic cocktail, the Singapore Sling, is a defining feature.
This time, I visited the signature Long Bar. I'd heard there could be an hour-long wait on weekends, but on this day, I was able to get in after only a five-minute wait.
I was shown to a seat on the second floor. The room was bustling with families staying at the hotel and tourists, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The green wallpaper and modern floor design blended together to create a classic yet stylish atmosphere.
The drink I ordered was...
Singapore Sling
A beautiful drink, red as the sunset. It evoked the Singapore sunsets that author Somerset Maugham described as "the mysticism of the Orient."
Raffles Hotel Original Lager
With a refreshing taste, it offers a different experience than a cocktail.
A pile of peanuts was placed on the table, and it's traditional to drop the shells on the floor. Every time someone walked, a crisp sound echoed, creating a unique atmosphere that can only be experienced here.
Raffles Hotel's Long Bar is more than just a bar; it's a special place where you can experience history and culture. It's a must-see spot for anyone visiting Singapore.
