The world of Raffles hotels brings the romance, elegance, and glamour of another era to our modern times. Often situated within a significant landmark, each property embodies a fusion of British refinement and Asian charm, inviting guests to experience the brand’s legendary sophistication and unique service. In Ra!es: From your Butler, readers are guided page after page by their own private butler to experience the best of Raffles across an array of regions around the world.

From Paris to Dubai to Singapore, discover the city, explore the region, and let yourself wander new ground with personalized notes from your butler: a unique dinner reservation for two nearby one of the world’s seven wonders, a teatime in Raffles Singapore’s Palm Garden or a private swimming session for your children, perhaps? This captivating book celebrates the Raffles legacy with exclusive photography, a cheeky-toned text, full of compelling anecdotes, by travel writer Mark Ellwood, and a foreword by Derek C. Blasberg. They will both take you on a trip across the five continents, stopping at every Raffles location along the way.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The photographs in this book alone transport you, capturing the effortless glamour of each landmark property. I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading about the British colonial design details tucked into every hotel.

Brian F. ★★★★★

I picked this up before a long trip and ended up reading it cover to cover on the plane. The way each chapter lingers on the architecture and history of the landmark buildings made me want to plan a whole itinerary around them.

Claire J. ★★★★★

The photos of the landmark properties alone are worth it, and the history sections explain why each building matters, not just where to sleep. It reads like a coffee-table book you actually finish.
