Citadines Raffles Place Singapore, nestled in the core of the central business district, is your gateway to a seamless blend of business and leisure. Directly connected to Raffles Place MRT interchange and just a short stroll from Telok Ayer MRT Station, this serviced apartment provides quick and convenient access to the entire island.
Situated within the iconic CapitaSpring, the heart of the financial district with a history dating back to Singapore’s founding in 1819, Citadines Raffles Place is surrounded by the buzz of commercial activities. It sits on the site of the old Golden Shoe/ Market Street Food Food Centre. Amazingly, the food centre is conserved and retained whole in this new integrated development.
The award-winning tall building is designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, in collaboration with reputed home-grown global architecture firm, RSP Architects Planners & Engineers (Pte) Ltd and Carlo Ratti Associati.
A five-minute walk leads you to the vibrant Boat Quay, offering a plethora of food, beverage, and entertainment options. Additionally, the neighborhood of Telok Ayer and Amoy Street features chic fitness studios, indie restaurants, cafes, and edgy cocktail bars. A short stroll around Citadines Raffle Place can bring you to the National Gallery, Raffles City shopping mall, among other iconic attractions.
We had dinner at contemporary western bar-bistro, Dallas Restaurant & Bar during our stay, a short 5-minute walk from CapitaSpring with a riverfront view.
Ideal for both business and leisure travelers, Citadines Raffles Place offers eight accommodation options, including Studios, One- and Two-Bedroom suites, and lofts. Each unit is equipped with versatile furniture pieces, converting spaces seamlessly from work to rest settings.
