2. Executive Company Overview

Raffles Hotels & Resorts is a global luxury hospitality brand founded in Singapore in 1887 and now operating within Accor’s Luxury & Lifestyle division. Its business centers on luxury hotels, destination resorts, branded residences, food and beverage, wellness, private events, personalized concierge services and the brand’s long-established butler-service concept. Current Raffles destinations extend across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and North America, while its brand management organization identifies New York as its headquarters. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

For PrivateJetia’s audience, Raffles is relevant not because it owns, manages or charters business aircraft, but because it operates at the hospitality end of the premium travel chain used by private-aircraft owners, family offices, executives and affluent international travelers. Its portfolio includes urban hotels in cities such as Singapore, London, Paris, Boston, Istanbul, Dubai and Doha as well as destination properties in Bali, Seychelles, Udaipur, Sentosa and the Red Sea. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

The brand’s operating proposition combines accommodation with restaurants and bars, spas and wellness, destination experiences, event facilities, travel arrangements, concierge support and residential hospitality. Certain Raffles offers expressly include airport transfers, while individual properties provide concierge teams capable of assisting with travel arrangements and personalized requests. These activities can support passengers moving between private aviation terminals, destination transportation and accommodation, but Raffles itself should not be classified as an aircraft operator, charter broker, FBO or aviation-services provider. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

The scale of the Raffles portfolio has accelerated under Accor ownership. Accor reported 25 hotels and 3,905 rooms at June 30, 2026, compared with the March 2026 Accor Brandbook’s year-end 2025 disclosure of 20-plus hotels, more than 3,735 rooms and a development pipeline exceeding ten hotels and 1,670 rooms.

10. Certifications & Regulatory Status

Air Operator Certificate: Not applicable

IS-BAO: Not applicable
IS-BAH: Not applicable

PrivateJetia Verification Rule: Property-level hotel certifications should be attached to the relevant Raffles property profile rather than treated as universal Raffles Hotels & Resorts credentials.

Brand Management Pairing: Raffles and Fairmont under CEO Omer Acar

Accor acquired the Fairmont Raffles Hotels International group in July 2016, adding Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel to its luxury portfolio. Accor’s own corporate history confirms the transaction. (Accor Group)

The transaction had originally been announced in December 2015 as the acquisition of Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel from a structure involving Qatar Investment Authority and Kingdom Holding Company. (Accor Group)

Major Shareholders of Raffles: Not applicable at brand level; shareholders hold interests in Accor rather than directly in the Raffles brand.

Subsidiaries: No authoritative current list of standalone subsidiaries operating specifically beneath the Raffles brand was found.

15. Strategic Partnerships

Accor

The most important corporate relationship is Raffles’ ownership and integration within Accor. Accor supplies the wider brand, distribution, development, loyalty and operating ecosystem. (Accor Group)

ALL Accor

Raffles participates in Accor’s booking and loyalty ecosystem. (Accor Group)

Assouline

Raffles has collaborated with luxury publisher Assouline on Raffles: From Your Butler, a brand publication documenting its hospitality heritage and butler culture. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

John Lobb

Accor cites a collaboration between Raffles Boston and British shoemaker John Lobb through which hotel guests can access specialist shoe-care services. This is a property-level luxury partnership rather than an enterprise-wide operating alliance. (Accor Group)

Property Owners and Developers

As is typical of Accor’s asset-light hospitality model, individual Raffles hotels and residences can involve separate property owners and development partners. These relationships should be evaluated on a property-by-property basis rather than assumed to constitute Raffles corporate ownership.

16. Key Differentiators

1. Operating Heritage Since 1887
Raffles traces its hospitality identity directly to the original Singapore hotel established in 1887. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

2. Highly Selective Global Footprint
With 25 hotels and 3,905 rooms as of June 2026, Raffles maintains a substantially smaller footprint than mass-market global hotel chains, while operating across major global cities and destination resorts. (Accor Group)

3. Urban and Resort Mix
The portfolio combines central-city properties such as London, Paris, Boston and Singapore with resort destinations including Bali, Seychelles and Sentosa. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

4. Branded Residential Platform
Raffles extends beyond transient hospitality into branded private residences, including developments in Boston, London, Jakarta, Bali and Jeddah. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

5. Butler-Service Model
Raffles continues to emphasize personalized butler service as a core brand characteristic across its hospitality concept. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

6. Accor Distribution and Development Infrastructure
The Raffles brand operates within a parent organization encompassing more than 45 hotel brands and thousands of hotels globally, giving it access to Accor’s booking, loyalty, development and commercial ecosystem. (Accor Group)

7. Relevance to High-End Private Travel
The combination of luxury suites, residences, concierge, private transfers and destination services makes the portfolio naturally relevant to travelers using private aviation, without Raffles itself operating aviation services.

17. Contact & Digital Presence

Because Raffles operates a decentralized hotel network, reservations telephone numbers and email addresses are principally published property by property rather than through one universal hotel reservations number. (Raffles Hotels & Resorts)

Main Corporate Telephone: Not publicly disclosed as a single global Raffles number
Sales Telephone: Property-specific; no universal global sales number verified
General Email: No single global public email verified
Sales Email: Property-specific
Partnership / Business Development Email: Not publicly disclosed through the consumer contact interface reviewed

Requires Careful Interpretation

The 25 hotels / 3,905 rooms figure is the latest authoritative portfolio statistic located and is dated June 30, 2026. Raffles’ consumer website also incorporates properties opening or launching during 2026, so a simple count from the live booking/destination interface may not always correspond perfectly to the accounting definition used by Accor.

Similarly, LinkedIn’s 5,001–10,000 employee company-size band is useful directory context but should not be presented as an audited Raffles workforce count. (Accor Group)
