As far back as 1887, men of letters such as Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad have inaugurated Raffles’ legendary literary tradition which continues today. Raffles Hotel Singapore has long played muse to renowned writers whose creativity was sparked by our majestic setting, intriguing guests and timeless destination. As we write the next chapter of our rich literary heritage, the Raffles Writer’s Residency programme continues with Vicki Virtue as our second Writer in Residence, supporting and inspiring the art of the written word and the storytellers of today.
