Branding history

By Pauline D. Loh | China Daily | Updated: 2013-08-10 11:18

Brocades and Egyptian cottons, silk carpets and tapestries are all part of the dcor, aptly palatial and fitting for the Queen of England. She stayed here on her state visit to Singapore, as did her son the Duke of Cambridge and his wife, Katherine the Duchess.

Staying at the Raffles is an experience of a more gracious age - of morning tea on the balcony listening to the mynahs sing, tiffin at lunch and a Singapore Sling before dinner at the Palm Court.

It is beyond just buying a bed for the night, and many travelers are willing to pay a high premium for the experience. It's something you can write home about, and in the modern context, proudly tweet or post on Facebook and weibo.

Similarly at the Raffles Beijing, a prestigious address on Chang'an Avenue next to Tian'anmen adds to the romance of selling legacy and history. It was originally an annex of the Forbidden City's first hotel, the Beijing Hotel, which still retains the main building right next door.

A sweeping staircase and a chandelier overhead create the mood upon entry, but it is the hard wood dance floor right by its French restaurant Jaan that tells the most interesting stories.

According to the nostalgia spin-doctors, this was the place where Kuomintang generals, their wives and mistresses partied in the first days of the Republic of China. In more sober times later on, heads of states such as Indonesian president Sukarno and his elegant wife Dewi Sukarno enjoyed tea and elite company here.

On the walls of the restaurant are sepia-tinted photos of political luminaries that had passed and paused. Once again, it is the Raffles brand at work, that formula of selling the romance of the past.

It is a branding that has lasted 150 years, right from source in Singapore, where it all started, to Dubai, Seychelles, Cambodia, Paris, Beijing, Hainan, Makati and Makkah, where there are Raffles Hotels carrying on the traditions and unique selling points of glamour and adventure inextricably linked and reminiscent of a more leisurely, civilized past.

The Raffles Hotels are now part of a conglomerate of three brands - Fairmont, Raffles and Swissotel. Where the Fairmont and Swissotels have been largely offering convenient city-hop accommodations, the Raffles stands clearly apart in this grouping.

"Our three brands also maintain their identities and traditions: Fairmont as a landmark presence integrated into its community; Raffles as sophisticated luxury with residential charm; and Swissotel as personalized efficient service within a contemporary ambiance," this is according to the release from the group.

We also sought clarification from Diana Banks, vice-president of sales and marketing of Raffles Hotels & Resorts, based in Singapore.

"Raffles Hotels and Resorts remains exactly the same. We have always been part of the FRHI family, which in effect is three brands: Raffles, Fairmont and Swissotel.

"That does not change. The only change has been on an organizational change, where we are being more effective by creating a regional structure to better serve our customers and hotels. The hotels and brands stay distinctly different."

Recently, FRHI received a massive investment injection from Qatar, reputed from a royal connection, which if you come to think of it, suits the branding to a tee.

The next Raffles to open in China will be on Hainan island, in Lingshui town, Yingzhou Li autonomous county. The hotel is currently accepting reservation for Sept 1 onwards.
