To continue my helpful research for Marlene, I looked on the Rotary website to see if the Raffles Hotel was one of the official convention hotels. Unfortunately the website kept spinning so I moved on, going straight to the hotel's website for information. The Raffles Hotel began as a private beach house in the 1830's and become the Hotel in the 1880's. It recently underwent an extensive renovation. It does have rooms available during the convention. There are two options - with a one way limo ride or with an included breakfast. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day so I went with that. For just 1,787.29 SGD ($1,322.69 US) per night, Marlene and Hugh can stay at the Raffles during the convention. Now, that may seem a little pricey, but if they book for two night minimum, they get - – Daily sumptuous breakfast for two at Tiffin Room – Complimentary S$50 Raffles Boutique credit once per stay – Complimentary S$200 Food & Beverage credit once per stay – Refreshing Singapore Sling as welcome drink – Enlightening History tour with our Resident Historian – Enjoy 15% off at Raffles Spa, Raffles Boutique, and Floral Boutique by Raffles – Enjoy a complimentary 60-minute usage of the thermal facilities at Raffles Spa and join our weekly wellness activities, developed to achieve a healthy and purposeful life. If they want to bring Will, Emmy and Sam, the Raffles offers a "personalized range of amenities, day-time activities and bedtime stories specially curated for them." And they can always hit The Long Bar after a full day of conventioning.
