From its Colonial fa\u00e7ade to its grand three-story lobby filled with vintage pieces and antiquities (and an 8,214-piece crystal chandelier) the hotel definitely earns its status as a National Monument. However, when it comes to the 115 suites of the hotel, the mood is a sensible mix of vintage and contemporary style, with modern four-poster beds, parquet floorings with gorgeously embroidered rugs, and a stunning marble bathroom with a freestanding bathtubs and dual vanity sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raffles Singapore is also home to no less than 9 restaurants and bars, including the beautiful Butcher\u2019s Block, the elegant La Dame de Pic, and the OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse.

This Ritz-Carlton property boasts the extraordinary vistas of Mount Machinchang in the background, lush rainforests all around, and the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea are just opposite.

The property is infused with a sense of perfect harmony with the location\u2019s landscape. Shielded by the dense vegetation, the place feels cut off from the rest of the world, and feels smaller and more intimate than it is. The 119 rooms and suites display a blend of traditional Malay and Siamese designs, and are as contemporary and sleek as they come. Their true appeal, however, remains their ability to truly allow the guests to feel immersed into the surrounding nature, thanks to their floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the ocean or the rainforest, and plunge pools that spill into the environs.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"image-grid image-grid-1 \">\r\n        <div class=\"image-container img-1\">\r\n        <picture class=\"img-1\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/79238-root-ikan-ikan-dining-room.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1400px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/79238-root-ikan-ikan-dining-room-1536x994.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/79238-root-ikan-ikan-dining-room-1024x663.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 600px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/79238-root-ikan-ikan-dining-room-768x497.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 100px)\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/79238-root-ikan-ikan-dining-room-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n            <\/picture>    <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere, the Ritz-Carlton Langkawi allows for a deep immersion into the culinary heritage of Malaysia, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/hotels\/china\">China<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/hotels\/india\">India<\/a> with 4 restaurants: the Langkawi Kitchen, the Beach Grill, Hai Yan, and Horizon.

It\u2019ll take you about 30 minutes from the Shanghai Hongquia International Airport to get there, but it\u2019s well worth the trip. A collaboration between Aman and Chinese philanthropist Ma Dadong, the Amanyangyun is a passion project that\u2019s part conservation effort and part luxury hotel. When the 10,000 ancient camphor trees (some dating back to 1,000 years) and 50 Ming and Qing dynasty homes were threatened by the construction of a dam in Ma Dadong\u2019s homeland of Fuzhou, he launched a conservation effort to uproot them all and relocate them to a patch of rainforest close to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/hotels\/china\/shanghai\">Shanghai<\/a>. 15 years later, the Amanyangyun was born, a remarkable step back in time to the China of old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience ultimately feels profoundly personal and spiritual. The 26 suites and 13 Antique Villas feel like the remnants of an ancient, glorious past, simply given a slight uplift to fit the standards of the modern travelers. The result are minimalist yet profoundly satisfying accommodations that feel anchored in a specific time and which guests are able to slowly discover on their own. Picture a temple-like interior with plenty of wood of all shades and shapes, whether it is for the furniture or the d\u00e9cor- warm mood lighting, all of which concealed behind a facade of period stones. And, of course, it\u2019s all spacious and airy.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"image-grid image-grid-2 \">\r\n        <div class=\"image-container img-1\">\r\n        <picture class=\"img-1\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/82942-root-antique-villa-5-bedrooms-outside-view.jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1400px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/82942-root-antique-villa-5-bedrooms-outside-view-1536x1021.jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/82942-root-antique-villa-5-bedrooms-outside-view-1024x680.jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 600px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/82942-root-antique-villa-5-bedrooms-outside-view-768x510.jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 100px)\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/82942-root-antique-villa-5-bedrooms-outside-view-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n            <\/picture>    <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"image-container img-2\">\r\n        <picture class=\"img-2\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/95845-root-lazhu-private-dining.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1400px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/95845-root-lazhu-private-dining-1536x960.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/95845-root-lazhu-private-dining-1024x640.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 600px)\">\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/95845-root-lazhu-private-dining-768x480.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 100px)\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lartisien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/95845-root-lazhu-private-dining-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n            <\/picture>    <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<p>On the dining front, the Amanyangyun continues to impress.
