Raffles Hotel is a British colonial-style luxury hotel in Singapore named after Sir Stamford Raffles. It was established by Armenian hoteliers, the Sarkies Brothers, in 1887.
The Victorian fountain decorating the Courtyard was originally made in Glasgow England and brought to Singapore in the 1890s, where it was placed at the Telok Ayer Market (now known as Lau Pa Sat). The six-metre ornate cast-iron fountain was later dismantled and forgotten altogether, only to be rediscovered in 1989. After being certified as authentic, it was restored and installed in the Palm Garden of the Raffles Hotel Singapore.
