Job description

Its distinctive architecture, legendary heritage and iconic service continue to enthrall visitors where suites, social spaces, award-winning restaurants and bars are presented for discerning travellers. No visit to Singapore is complete without a stay here, where the grand historic hotel exudes old-world grandeur infused with the unique charm of the city state.

Company Description

About The Restaurant

The historic Long Bar is where the Singapore Sling, widely regarded as the national drink, was first created in 1915. The rich, earthy decor of the two-storey bar is inspired by Malayan life in the 1920s and the famous counter gleams amid decorative motifs that transport us to a tropical plantation. While men sipped whisky or gin at Long Bar, etiquette forbade women from drinking alcohol in public. In 1915, Raffles bartender Ngiam Tong Boon crafted a cocktail that resembled fruit juice but was cleverly laced with gin and liqueurs. The grenadine and cherry liqueur in the cocktail lend its now-famous rosy hue, which made it socially acceptable for women and an instant success. With that, the Singapore Sling was born, and over a century later, remains one of the world’s most iconic cocktails.
