#raffles mooncake 2026

Raffles Hotel's 2026 mooncakes are on an early-bird ladder, and almost every write-up quotes the wrong one. The 20% off / 15% off / 10% off steps everyone is repeating are the IN-STORE rates at the Raffles Mooncake Booth — and that ladder has already stepped down: the 20% window closed on 16 August, so a walk-in today gets 15%, and from 1 September it drops again to 10%. Online is a different, flatter deal: pay with an AMEX, Citi, DBS, OCBC, HSBC or UOB credit or debit card and you get a straight 20% off, applied automatically at checkout, all the way to 18 September. On a S$105 box that is S$84.00 online versus S$89.25 at the booth today — and S$84.00 versus S$94.50 once September starts. Two things are carved out of every single discount, in-store and online: the S$228 Premium Baked Mooncake Box and the limited-edition flavours, which this year means the S$107 Guojiao 1573 Baijiu Black Sesame snow-skin. Mid-Autumn falls on Friday 25 September, and the booth at 328 North Bridge Road runs daily 10am-8pm until that date.

Mid-Autumn Festival 2026 fell on Friday, 25 September, and every hotel mooncake season on this list has now closed. Next year's festival is Wednesday, 15 September 2027. We re-checked the shops on 20 October: Mandarin Oriental's Mid-Autumn collection is down to two boxes, both unavailable, The Fullerton's mooncake page shows nine boxes sold out, Fairmont's Mid-Autumn offer page has gone and Pan Pacific's offers page no longer lists one, and Kempinski's mooncake page now redirects to its restaurants page. What stays useful is how 2026 ran. The deepest early birds, 30% to 35%, closed between 22 July and 22 August, a month or more before the festival, and the final week was decided by stock rather than price: Xin Cuisine's 1-for-1 sold out a week early. This guide keeps each hotel's 2026 range and prices as a benchmark for 2027.
