Raffles Hotels & Resorts has once again been recognised for offering some of the most luxurious suites in the world. Suites from Raffles Canouan Island, Raffles Beijing Hotel and Raffles Dubai, have been featured in Elite Traveler magazine’s seventh annual list of the top 101 suites in the world. Elite Traveler is a U.S luxury lifestyle magazine whose readers include affluent travellers and private jet owners.
A new entry to Elite Traveler’s prestigious list of the world’s most desired suites is the Asian Royal Suite at Raffles Dubai.
Occupying a generous 653 square metres, the Asian Royal Suite is praised for offering “a museum-worthy art collection…impressive from every angle.” The suite is adorned with terracotta statues, Asian artworks and rosewood furniture of classic Chinese design, while intricate motifs in brilliant shades of gold embellish each door, creating the sense of cultured luxury that Raffles is renowned
for.
The Asian Royal Suite features two bedrooms and two “his & her” en-suite bathrooms. A dining room with a separate kitchenette and discreet access for butlers, can host parties for up to 12 people. A majlis (entertainment
room), fully equipped with a bar, is ideal for pre-dinner drinks and entertaining business associates, while an adjoining terrace with sweeping views of the city’s skyline, is the perfect setting to relax in total privacy.
Raffles Beijing Hotel, which is the residence of members of the International Olympic Committee during the XXIX Olympic Games in Beijing, is featured on Elite Traveler’s selection of the world’s best suites for a second consecutive year. Raffles Beijing Hotel’s Presidential Suite occupies two stories and at over 884 square metres, is one of the most
spacious suites in Beijing. Elegantly appointed, this resplendent four bedroom suite features two living rooms, a private dining room, a mini theatre with a range of audiovisual facilities, a gym, a massage suite for private spa treatments as well as Roman style bathrooms complete with a Jacuzzi and sauna.
Elite Traveler’s choice of best suites for 2008 also includes Raffles Villa at Raffles Canouan Island. This marks the second consecutive year Raffles Villa has been
bestowed this esteemed honour. Located on a hillside, the villa makes the most of the stunning ocean views. Consisting of a three-bedroom home with a guest cottage, the villa
features Italian marble floors, a cutting-edge entertainment set-up with a plasma screen television and Bose sound system, a private infinity pool and an impressive dining room for 12 guests. A personal butler and an on-call chef are on hand to cater to their residents’ every need.
Mrs. Diana Ee-Tan, President, Raffles Hotels & Resorts shared, “We are delighted that the editors of Elite Traveler Magazine have recognized the suites at Raffles Beijing,
Raffles Dubai and Raffles Canouan Island as “Best Hotel Suites in the World”. Raffles Hotels & Resorts embodies refined elegance and unparalleled luxury, and this accolade
truly underscores our luxury positioning.”
Elite Traveler magazine’s 101 Best Hotel Suites in the World is compiled by the editors. Suites selections are based on opulence, design, plush accommodations and second-tonone service, all of which discriminating travellers are accustomed to when selecting a top hotel suite.
