Where there’s a Raffles butler, almost anything can happen. Legendary since 1887, Raffles’ impeccable butler service is now immortalised in our motion picture by director Trey Laird and photographer Dylan Don, starring Tim Easton as the butler and an intriguing cast of characters played by Robert Rabensteiner, Waris Ahluwalia and May Siu. At Raffles, whatever your singular need: before you even have to ask… The Butler Did It. #RafflesHotels #TheButlerDidIt

The art of hospitality takes on new meaning at Raffles Udaipur , where every detail embodies the richness of Indian culture in all its forms. Set on a 21-acre private island, this contemporary reimagining of a country mansion is surrounded by Baroque gardens, its Indo-Saracenic architecture a meeting point between Indian and Western influences. The design draws from classic European Palladian architecture, featuring domes and high ceilings, with subtle Rajput-Mughal touches such as chhatris, intricate stucco work, jali panels and Tikri artwork. Within the hotel, the public spaces, rooms and suites are adorned with a curated collection of Indian artwork. Look out for original paintings by Thomas Daniell RA, exquisite miniatures by Nãnhã, and unique ragamālā pieces. Royal Mughal miniatures of flowering plants also grace the walls, adding to the aesthetic appeal. For those keen to explore further, a Raffles Butler will be delighted to guide you through this artistic journey. Cultural connoisseurs and history lovers will find themselves at home in this tranquil retreat on Udai Sagar Lake. Explore this incredible art collection: https://lnkd.in/gTfY2QPq

When you master the art of belonging, you cannot help but stand out. When imagining the design and experience of Raffles Jaipur, it was imperative for us that the property should reflect the local culture and the historic palaces of Rajasthan. Carved in pure white marble, the facade offers a hint of the Taj Mahal, reimagined as a modern-day palace in tune with our guests’ contemporary lives. Meticulously fashioned by handpicked local artisans, Raffles Jaipur is an invitation to fall in love with the rich history of the Rajasthani capital at first sight.

Life wasn’t always sweet for pastry Chef Yazid Ichemrahen, the new Executive Pastry Chef at Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris. Yazid’s life story is a rags-to-riches tale so inspiring that it was turned into a film: A La Belle Etoile. At just 22, he won the Frozen Desserts World Cup, becoming the youngest world champion at any dessert competition ever. His star-studded community of teachers and mentors includes World Pastry Champion & Meilleur Ouvrier de France Pascal Caffet, and Joël Robuchon, for whom he worked at Métropole in Monaco. Today, Yazid is a globetrotting star who shines brightly on his own. More than a pastry chef with a highly technical approach, he is a true artist, a maestro of emotion, drawing upon the memories of his childhood to tell stories through food. Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris is Yazid’s first Parisian residency, where he crafts the pastry menus at all the property’s restaurants. Join us for a goûter, won’t you?
