At the Grand Lobby's corner, named for the writers who stayed

Writers Bar

Bar · Sunday to Thursday

A foam-topped orange cocktail on a round table beside a green cloth-bound book, a silver fountain pen resting on it, and a small dish of coconut sweets in the foreground.

A cocktail is built here around a named writer and a line from their own work, printed beside the drink on the menu.

Rudyard Kipling has The Jungle Rose, Ian Fleming has the Dr. Oh Martini, Agatha Christie has the Silk Road Colada. The Raffles Writer's Residency has run since 2019, hosting a new writer each edition; Sean Lam, a Singaporean graphic novelist, is the current one.

The Macallan M and Louis XIII are both poured by the millilitre from their own crystal decanters, at the top of the list, for a guest who wants to taste rather than order a bottle outright.
