As a platinum flyer and Gold member of one World and Star Alliance airlines, I travel and frequently stay in five star hotels for work. Hands down, the Raffles is one of the best hotels I ve stayed in globally. I was in the sub-penthouse, the view of the City and mosques was 260 degrees. All of the furniture seemed brand new and untouched. I liked the bedding so much I ordered a set for home from a shop adjacent to the exit of the hotel. They also have free afternoon tea downstairs which includes macaroons and other treats - all delicious. The rooms are oversized, even if you were in a standard or deluxe room. Having a separate lounge and bedroom was pretty handy and I wound up using the laundry too as it was in its own room and has Miele appliances (no noise and a good clean). The TVs were also mirrors, and the shower and spa bath room was better than most day spas I ve been too. The shower in particular had three shower heads, one square rain water shower head on the roof, a handheld and a height adjustable shower head. Great shower and also steam room.
