We began Day 2 with breakfast at the Tiffin Room!

Review: Raffles Hotel (Singapore) – Part 1

Ah, Raffles Hotel, the stuff of dreams. Think grand colonial architecture, elegant polished interiors, fascinating stories of old and personalized go-the-extra-mile type of service.

Review: Shangri-La Hotel – Valley Wing (Singapore)
