Raffles Hotels & Resorts: The Epitome of Timeless Luxury

As the storied Raffles Singapore celebrates its 138th anniversary this year, the iconic hospitality brand continues to redefine luxury accommodation while maintaining its legendary standards. Currently operating 22 distinguished properties across 18 countries, with an additional 14 confirmed developments underway, Raffles has entered its most ambitious expansion phase since becoming part of Accor's luxury portfolio.

Recent performance metrics from STR Global reveal Raffles' exceptional market position, with properties commanding an average daily rate of $1,200 - a commanding 35% premium over competitors in the luxury segment. Despite global economic uncertainties, the brand maintains strong 82% occupancy levels system-wide, with its flagship Singapore property reaching 95% during peak seasons. The growing importance of private residences is evident, now contributing 28% to total revenue compared to just 22% two years prior.

The brand's recent openings demonstrate its enduring appeal, with both Raffles Boston and Raffles at Galaxy Macau achieving operational stabilization in just six months - half the time typically required in the luxury segment. This remarkable performance underscores Raffles' ability to maintain its exacting standards while expanding its global presence.

At the heart of Raffles' expansion strategy lies the $400 million transformation of London's historic Old War Office into Raffles at The OWO. This ambitious project has set new benchmarks for heritage conversions, with its 120 rooms and 85 private residences achieving record pre-opening sales, including residence prices surpassing £7,000 per square foot. Looking ahead, several landmark developments are taking shape, including the meticulous restoration of a 19th-century Roman palazzo near Piazza di Spagna set to open in 2026 as Raffles Rome, and the 101-room lake palace resort Raffles Udaipur scheduled for 2027, marking the brand's grand entrance into India's luxury market. The 2026 opening of Raffles Residences Dubai will represent the brand's first standalone residential project, featuring 150 units with dedicated resident butlers.

While preserving its legendary butler service, Raffles has thoughtfully integrated modern innovations across its portfolio. Twelve properties now employ AI-assisted personalization systems that anticipate guest needs before arrival, and a hybrid butler service combining digital efficiency with human touch has reduced response times by 40%. The brand's commitment to sustainability has yielded a 40% reduction in its carbon footprint since 2020, with Raffles Singapore earning Green Mark Platinum certification - proving that environmental responsibility and uncompromising luxury can coexist.

As a cornerstone of Accor's Luxury & Lifestyle division, Raffles delivers outstanding financial performance, with EBITDA margins averaging 3... ( Read the report in Premium Members Zone )
