White marble floors installed in '91 had degraded
and become stained in the humid climate. However,
authorities insisted on replacing like for like materials
and patterns. In what Kastl calls "wedding cake architecture," the trims, moldings and most surfaces were painted
Raffles' mandatory shade of white. The silicate-based
paint originally used on the building and interiors not only

person until after the installation, she feels that of all her
restaurants, this one represents her the most."

modernized with geometric floor tiles, butterscotch
leather barstools, rattan chairs and marble-topped tables.
The dark, moody Writer's Bar references the hotel's literary
heritage; the Butcher's Block steakhouse has a hyper-social
vibe; and the Tiffin Room honors the restaurant's famed
Indian cuisine.
Kastl is especially proud of the hotel's first ballroom,
