The term “Grand Hotel” is a very special one indeed. It conjures up images of elegance and grace, gleaming brass and soothing service. A Grand Hotel is noted for its charm, its history and, of course its legends.

Whatever its architectural style, a Grand Hotel has the aura so characteristic of all things beautiful. At the same time, it has its own unique character; a Grand Hotel must be true to its surroundings and have its own eccentricities.

The remaining five Grand Hotel Suites, take their inspiration from the romance of travel in a bygone age. One is named after a once grand Singapore hotel - Raffles’ greatest rival - Hotel de L’Europe. The others are conferred place names now consigned to history books - Cathay, Temasek, Golden Chersonese and Straits Settlements.
