Raffles hotel in Singapore
The current raffles is a replica of the old one. I dont think there is
anything left of the original hotel. I've had afternoon tea there, and have to say its a little lacking in atmosphere. Mark "Hallvard Tangeraas" wrote in message m... I'm going to Singapore soon (been there once before and loved it) and was wondering about the legendary Raffles hotel. What's the deal about this hotel: why is it so famous? I've heard that one of the "must do" type of things while in Singapore is to go visit the hotel (apparently even if you don't stay there) and take a drink called "the Singapore sling". What is it, and is it expensive? Is the hotel's bar open to the public? Hallvard -- Atari Launchpad : http://launchpad.atari.org Notator/Creator SL : http://www.notator.org |

It's mostly 'inside' the new building, although there is one section of the old outer wall still facing the gardens outdoors.
