“Magical”. That was the first word that comes to her mind, as Alexandra Champalimaud fondly recalls her first impression of Raffles Hotel Singapore. “It’s in this beautiful white, it’s almost like a tiered cake, it’s so pretty and so well-done,” shares Champalimaud, the founder of New York-based practice Champalimaud. “There is a certain magic in this journey that you make from the front (of the hotel) to the back, and all the way around.”
