In the afternoon, we had a Simply classic Afternoon Tea at Long Bar (since Writers Bar was not available or have an ongoing event during our visit), styled after the original Long Bar at Raffles Singapore; where the famous Singapore Sling was created. However, the afternoon tea at the Writers Bar is available from 2:30pm to 5:30 pm daily.

In the afternoon, we went out to explore and did shopping at Greenbelt 3 and Glorietta malls, where it's just opposite and walking distance from the hotel. Location wise, this hotel has a private underground walkway that provides guests with direct access to the nearby shopping malls. This exclusive passageway is located at Basement 1 and is open from 10am to 10pm daily, where hotel's security is also stationed there.

In the evening, we went to Writers Bar to have an amazing Evening canapés and cocktails which is available from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The Writers Bar is styled as a library, taking a modern interpretation of the original Writers Bar from Raffles Singapore. This bar is a tribute to the writers who have stayed at the Raffles Singapore or have written about it.

And, of course, going back to our suite, we didn't forget to have a relaxing bubble bath in our amazing expansive marble floor bath room.





The next morning, we had an amazing breakfast buffet at Spectrum Restaurant, which has a modern surroundings and clean design to create a harmonious dining experience with the best of selection of finest American and Asian breakfast cuisines.

It's also close to Elm Hill, a lovely medieval cobbled street near the River Wensum lined with tiny old houses, many of them now attractive shops, restaurants, and cafés. coach hire london
