Raffles Hotel is a colonial-style hotel in Singapore. It was established by two Armenian brothers from Persia—Martin and Tigran Sarkies—in 1887. In later years they were joined by younger brothers Aviet and Arshak and kinsman Martyrose Arathoon. With their innovative cuisine and extensive modernisations the firm built the hotel into Singapore’s best known icon. It was named after Stamford Raffles the founder of modern Singapore whose statue had been unveiled in 1887.
