Standing, as Somerset Maugham once said for all the fables of the exotic East, Raffles Hotel in Singapore has always been an unique institution.  The haunt of celebrities ranging from Hollywood stars to Heads of State, it has been the setting for innumerable films and television productions. Roberto Pregarz, who was the Assistant General Manager of Raffles Hotel from 1967 to 1972, and then the General Manager from 1972 to 1989, was instrumental in making Raffles Hotel one of the most famous hotel in the world. He worked closely with writers, journalists, broadcasters and film directors to tell the world the Raffles Hotel story. Now, in Raffles Legends and Stories, Roberto has written his own reminiscences of his time at the hotel. Originally published in 1990 as Memories of Raffles, this updated edition includes a short segment on the re-opening of Raffles Hotel in 1991 after a major restoration.
