Looking for a hotel to stay? The highly anticipated list of The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024 has arrived, spotlighting a dazzling array of properties from across the globe.
From tropical getaways to urban oases, this list showcases the epitome of luxury, service, and unforgettable experiences. Singapore, a perennial hotspot for business and pleasure, has cemented its place among the world’s hospitality elite with two standout entries.
Here’s a closer look at the homegrown gems that made the cut in this year’s prestigious list:
1. Raffles Singapore
An institution in its own right, Raffles Singapore is much more than a hotel—it’s a piece of Singapore’s history. After an extensive two-year renovation, Raffles reopened its doors to even greater acclaim, without losing the charm and heritage that made it an icon.
In 2024, Raffles Singapore moved up an impressive 11 spots, landing in sixth place on this year’s list. Whether sipping a signature Singapore Sling at the Long Bar or indulging in one of its world-renowned suites, Raffles offers a rare combination of old-world grandeur with impeccable service.
2. Capella Singapore
Set amid the lush greenery of Sentosa Island, Capella Singapore is a perfect blend of colonial charm and modern luxury. Known for its extraordinary service and intimate atmosphere, this resort offers everything from private pools to curated cultural experiences.
Ranked 33rd this year, Capella has dropped five spots from its position in the inaugural list of 2023. Despite this slight dip, it continues to enchant guests with its seamless blend of tranquility and top-tier service.
Other key highlights include the serene beauty of Amangiri in Utah, known for its dramatic desert landscapes, and Cheval Blanc Paris, which continues to set the standard for city luxury with its bespoke services and views of the Seine. These properties reflect the evolving desires of modern travelers, where authentic experiences and impeccable attention to detail reign supreme.
