Luxury travel is not what is used to be. At one time, luxury
travellers were contented simply unwinding in a five-star resort rather
than venturing out, but these days, people are more interested with
immersing in the local scene and creating once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Raffles Hotels & Resorts is making this mindset shift in the
luxury travel segment through its range of curated experiences that
shows luxury travel and unique off-the-beaten-path adventures need not
be exclusive to each other.
At Raffles Bali, guests can join a two-night sensory experience that
takes them through Indonesian wellness treatments, Balinese cuisine
befitting of royalty, a private tour to the 19th century Puri Agung
Karangasem Royal Palace, and an intimate dinner at Raffles Bali’s
charming hidden cave.
Through the Grandeur of Raffles Singapore experience, guests staying
at Raffles Singapore will be chauffeured to the hotel in a limousine,
after which they will check into the presidential suite that has been
graced by prominent figures such as Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William,
Duke of Cambridge and Bono from U2. Hotel guests will further immerse in
Singapore’s Colonial Era with British-oriented culinary experiences.
In France, art aficionados can book the Private Guide Through History
experience at Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris, which includes a private
tour of The Louvre that enables guests to view masterpieces, including
the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and The Wedding at Cana. Following the
tour, guests will be led to an intimate private three-course dinner at
the very heart of the glass Pyramid.
More properties across India, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Maldives,
Seychelles offer similar cultural immersion experiences that pay tribute
to the destinations for which these Raffles hotels reside in.
