Raffles Hotel Singapore Appoints New Director of Marketing Communications

On July 31, 2026, Raffles Hotel Singapore elevated Leenu Tarani to Director of Marketing Communications. In this capacity, she will lead the hotel’s comprehensive marketing communication strategy, overseeing public relations, media engagement, brand partnerships, corporate social responsibility initiatives, events, and reputation management. Tarani brings more than 20 years of experience in hospitality marketing and communications, acquired across Singapore and the Middle East, according to Safari India.

Tarani joined Raffles Hotel Singapore in 2015, steadily advancing through various positions, including Marketing Communications Manager, Senior Marketing Communications Manager, and Assistant Director of Marketing Communications, before her current appointment.

Tarani’s extensive tenure with the property suggests a deep understanding of its heritage and strategic direction, which is invaluable for a brand of Raffles' caliber. Her leadership will be critical in maintaining the hotel's iconic status and reaching new audiences through sophisticated communication efforts.
