THE iconic Raffles Hotel Singapore will undergo a 16-month restoration project starting January 2017 - largely to rejuvenate its facilities and interior design.
Keen to assure Singaporeans that the almost 130-year-old heritage hotel will retain its unique ambience and charm, Raffles Hotel Singapore general manager Simon Hirst told The Business Times: "From a purely exterior point of view, it will still look just as beautiful as it is today; maybe just a little bit more beautiful. It'll be refreshed. But the actual shape and form - nothing will be touched."
