The Mark Hotel

Asia is the spiritual home of Raffles, where the story of the hotel—and its butlers—began. It’s where the adage that service should act like a gentle breeze—unnoticed but welcome— remains paramount. Butlers here must display a light touch but a constant one, a sense that they’re ever ready but never anxious. At Raffles, the service always stretches beyond the grounds of the property—the role of a butler won’t be limited to the four walls of a suite.

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.
