In true colonial style, sparkling crystal chandeliers, period furnishings and tall French windows that look out to the Palm Court combine to create an intimate and luxurious atmosphere.
Travellers from all over the world visit the two-storey Long Bar to undergo one of the true rites of passage of travel by sipping a Singapore Sling, the world famous pink cocktail created in 1915 by bar captain Ngiam Tong Boon, and tossing peanut shells onto the floor. In respect of this tradition the Long Bar is the only place in Singapore where “littering” is permitted.
