Charlie Chaplin was a legend in his lifetime. His movie career spanned decades, beginning in the heyday of silent movies and lasting until the 1950s. His enduring character, "The Little Tramp", has been rediscovered by successive generations and has continued to charm new audiences around the world with his endearing humour and pathos.

Chaplin visited Singapore and Raffles Hotel in 1933 where he was photographed in the Tiffin Room with his brother by S Nakajima, a Japanese photographer whose studio was, for many years, in the Hotel's Bras Basah Wing. A copy of this photograph was returned to the Hotel and now takes pride of place in the suite. Residents of this suite will be able to experience his comedy again through a selection of movies and biographies.
