Singapore hotel (7)
I believe the answer is:
raffles
'singapore hotel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for raffles that I've seen before include "ways of making money" , "High-class criminal" , "held to raise money" , "Lotteries, usually for charity" , "A gentleman burglar; Singapore founder" .)
