Few centenarians look as good as this Victorian-era castle built as a private social club for German expatriates. It survived the Japanese occupation of Singapore during the second world war, was used as the war crimes court after the Japanese surrender and now occupies a revered spot alongside Raffles as Singapore's more feminine grand dame. As with many landmark hotels, the original wing retains all the old-world ambiance of craftsmanship while the new wing is handsome but Spartan.
