Raffles is a tourist infested carnival. And the employees are MEAN. The pool is cool and the location good. The history is very interesting.

I'll be trying the St Regis next time. Leaving for HK tomorrow. I’ll report on the Pen when I return.
Hi Mike, welcome to FT! I live near the FS East Palo Alto (never confuse East Palo Alto with Palo Alto!) and, while you might not believe it, the restaurant at this hotel is actually improved over a year or two ago.

I agree that the employees at Raffles Singapore are mean-spirited, I can't imagine staying there. I have had service problems with the 4S Singapore but that was quite a while ago, maybe it's improved since then. I did like the passageway connection through the Hilton to Orchard Road.
