Every room depicts the beauty of the surroundings, with artwork of native wildlife like the Sumatran flying dragon and grey-headed fish eagle, alongside depictions of the forest’s layered ecosystem decorated around.

You Can Stay In A New “Bus Hotel” In Changi Village, With Private Bathtubs & Bunk Beds

Ariel Soh — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 02:00:42 +0000

The Bus Collective in Changi Village

Accommodations like wildlife resorts in Bali with animal interaction at your doorstep and an underwater hotel in Maldives offer exciting experiences like no other. When it comes to unique staycation ideas in Singapore, we’ve got the MRT-themed hotel and now, we also have The Bus Collective, a refurbished SBS bus hotel in Changi Village.

All you need to know about at The Bus Collective

If you have an appreciation for kitschy aesthetics, then an overnight stay at The Bus Collective should rank high on your hit list.

Private bathrooms with rain shower.

The compound houses 20 former SBS buses that have been transformed into cosy modern eco-friendly rooms fitted with amenities like beds, couches, TVs, and even a private toilet.

Plus some of the rooms come with bathtubs, a fully stocked minibar, complimentary toiletries, and plenty of time to capture cute content for your feed.

Depending on how many people are booked for the staycation, there are 7 types of rooms to choose from.

Image credit: The Bus Collective

Couples can opt for the Queen Victoria room, which features a spacious round queen-sized bed and a bathtub right in front of the bed, for an unforgettable staycation.

In case you missed it, yes, we said round bed.

For 3 people, their King George and Duxton Twin rooms would be perfect, while bigger groups of 4 can go for the Adams Drive, Clarke Quay, Hamilton Place, and Pioneer North rooms.

The sleeping arrangement for each room is different, but we suggest families get the Pioneer North room, as it has bunk beds for the kiddos on top of the King-sized bed.

Image credit: The Bus Collective

On the other hand, the King George room is good for smaller families as it comes with a king bed and sofa bed.

There’s even a room for wheelchair-bound individuals that has railings for extra support, a handicap-friendly bathroom, and an additional sofa bed for caretakers.

All the buses have an outdoor patio with a BBQ pit where the whole family can grill up a feast.

And of course, staying inside a bus means you’ll get to sit inside the driver’s seat and pretend you’re bringing the bus out for a spin. This makes for a perfect spot to capture IG-worthy pics or even trick your family and friends into believing that you drove a bus.

You can book a basic stay at The Bus Collective from $280/night and get breakfast for an additional $20 or top up $75 for both breakfast and a BBQ set.

Like most hotels, you can check in from 2pm onwards at the 24/7 reception area where you will get key cards to your assigned bus. On the day of checkout, return your keycards to the reception by 11am.

At the reception area, guests get to enjoy complimentary coffee and tea at any time of the day too.

Once you get your keycards, you are all set for this one-of-a-kind hotel experience.

What to eat during your stay at The Bus Collective

Within the vicinity, you’ll find BUSKing BBQ to feast on a delicious array of barbecued treats.

Those who would rather DIY their meal can order BBQ sets to grill on the personal BBQ pit just outside your bus hotel room. Time to relive those chalet memories.

BBQ sets for different-sized groups, starting with the 2-pax set, cost $70. It comes with all the cooking equipment you’ll need including sauces, charcoal, and utensils along with food like sambal prawns, chicken chops, and sambal sotong.

Image credit: BUSKing BBQ

For larger groups, there’s the option of a 5-pax set ($160) and a 10-pax set ($250). Those who need the Halal option can simply choose their a la carte items like chicken wings ($6), sambal fish ($3), and lobster balls ($6).

Another food option just a 5-minute walk away is Changi Village Hawker Centre, for affordable and delicious local dishes. There are endless rows of food stalls here so there’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy.

Some amazing eats at Changi Village Hawker Centre include Kampong Lor Mee, Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak, and Weng Kee Original Taste Ipoh Hor Fun.

If you want to try out more food from different locations in Singapore, there’s the Let’s Go Makan tour available for $125/pax. This tour will bring you to 5 different spots around the island for their iconic dishes like Jalan Kayu Roti Prata and Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre’s Chwee Kueh and Carrot Sticks.

Activities to enjoy around The Bus Collective

Explore the far east of Singapore on a bicycle

Within The Bus Collective, there’s a selection of bikes from GoCycling where you can rent bikes for just $8/hour.

With the bike, you can explore the nearby Changi Beach Park and Changi Bay Point, or even head to Pulau Ubin which is just a stone’s throw away.

Image credit: @kalla_can via Instagram

From 7am to 7pm daily, simply hop on a 15-minute ferry ride for $4 that will take you from Changi Point Ferry Terminal to Pulau Ubin Jetty. To bring your bike along on the ferry, you’ll have to top up an additional $2. Or you can rent a bike on the island too.

Image adapted from: The Smart Local

Once you are at this rustic island, we suggest exploring the island on 2 wheels or taking a hike. With your bike, you can follow the cycling path that will bring you around the island to see various popular sights on the island like Pekan Quarry, Puaka Hill, and Chek Jawa wetlands.

Another option is to sign up for the Explore Pulau Ubin on Bicycle tour by The Bus Collective for $99/pax.

Changi Chapel Museum

If you are a history buff, the Changi Chapel Museum is the perfect stop for you. This historical museum commemorates the prisoners of war who were held in Changi during World War II.

You can explore the museum yourself or opt for a free guided tour. There are 9 exhibitions here which will transport you back in time and learn about the fall and rise of Singapore in sequence.

You’ll even get to see pieces of history with artefacts like diaries of civilians, prisoner of war tags, and old prison doors.

Entry for Singaporeans and PRs is free but for an extensive fully guided tour of the place and other sites in the East, there’s the Explore and Rediscover Changi tour (from $88/pax) by The Bus Collective.

Changi Boardwalk

At Changi Boardwalk, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the 2.2 km coastal boardwalk, offering views of lush greenery, the sea, and scenic spots along Changi’s waterfront. The boardwalk is divided into sections, including the Sunset Walk, Cliff Walk, and Kelong Walk, each offering unique views and environments.

Image credit: Trip.com

The Sunset Walk is a popular option for evening visits with its gorgeous sunset views over the waters. It’s right next to Kelong Walk, an area that mimics the structures of traditional kelongs – stilted fishing platforms that bring visitors closer to the water to catch sight of marine life.

The boardwalk is home to various coastal plants, trees, and wildlife so you might catch glimpses of birds, butterflies, and even otters if you’re lucky.

The Bus Collective has 2 tours that cover this area. The Changi Coastal Adventure Walk tour (from $64/pax) and the Sweat for Some Amazing Fun to Singapore Heartland tour ($125/pax).

While the Changi Coastal Adventure Walk tour is more focused on history and nature, the Sweat for Some Amazing Fun to Singapore Heartland tour has more common attractions like Changi Jurassic Mile and Jewel Changi.

Book a staycation at The Bus Collective

Staying in one of these refurbished buses is a truly one-of-a-kind modern experience where the cosy rooms have been fitted with hotel-like amenities. Beyond admiring your unique room, there’s no shortage of activities nearby.

From learning more about Singapore’s past, taking in breathtaking views of nature or even experiencing sailing, there are a bunch of guided tours by the hotel to enjoy when staying at The Bus Collective.

Holland Village Has A New Serviced Residence, Guests Enjoy Exclusive Offers At Nearby Restaurants

Khoo Yong Hao — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:57:27 +0000

Quincy House Singapore by Far East Hospitality

Whether you’re a tourist on holiday or a globetrotting businessperson, one of the biggest hurdles of every overseas expedition is deciding where you’re calling home for the duration of your trip. While hotels remain the go-to choice for most travellers, those wanting something a little more homely for extended stays without forgoing essential amenities have a great option in serviced apartments.

Should you be searching for your next home away from home for an upcoming trip, look no further than Quincy House Singapore by Far East Hospitality. It’s a new serviced residence located in the heart of Holland Village, and boy are their accommodations pleasantly stylish. Here’s what a stay at their apartments looks like:

Well-appointed rooms for solo travellers, couples, & bigger groups

By the way, Quincy House also has pet-friendly room options, so feel free to stroll through their front doors with your furry companions by your side.

Once you’ve made your way into their premises, you’ll get a slice of Quincy House’s signature “anticipatory service” straight from the get-go. As they pride themselves on meeting your needs before you’ve even raised them, visitors get to indulge in a selection of juices at the reception counter; just the thing to combat Singapore’s sweltering heat.

These come in 3 quirky flavours to reflect Quincy House’s core personalities, namely Chill, Style, and Wow!. As such, indulge in juice flavours like Honey Yuzu, Açai, and Watermelon & Lime.

Drink in hand, make your way over to The Living Room, which doubles as either a snug reading nook or conducive work station. Sink into any one of their leather chairs as you enjoy a good read here. If you’ve got business to tend to instead, a communal workspace is sat right opposite you, in the form of a long, co-working table.

Of course, work can wait; Quincy House has 255 fully-furnished apartments, all ready to check into. Do note that there’s a minimum length of stay of 6 nights at any of Quincy House Singapore’s rooms.

For starters, those travelling solo and couples alike can opt for their Deluxe Room. It houses an inviting queen-sized bed, which you can plop yourself onto as you kick back and catch up on your favourite shows on a 43-inch LED TV.

The room’s thoughtfully designed space manages to incorporate an ironing board, microwave oven, and a mini-fridge into your living quarters, so you’ve got everything you need for a cosy stay.

On the other hand, visitors looking for a place to relax with their whole family to boot can go for their Two-Bedroom Deluxe instead. It promises a spacious 721sqft of luxurious living, plus a master bedroom and an en-suite bathroom.

Speaking of which, the bathroom here even sports a Japanese-style bidet, and comes stocked with Kevin Murphy bath amenities. When you’d like to whip up a lil’ something for yourself, there’s a kitchenette at your disposal to cook up a storm.

Guests can also consider Quincy House’s One-Bedroom Deluxe, which is perfect if you don’t need the extra space, but would still like some room to stretch. It also sports the aforementioned kitchenette, along with a charming dining area for sharing heartwarming meals with a partner.

To make your stay extra homely, the folks over at Quincy House have put together a welcome gift for all visitors too. Inside, you’ll find a pair of foldable Quincy shades, a mesh bag, and a collapsible water bottle, all of which are yours to bring home as mementos of your stay.

Convenient amenities like a swimming pool, gym, & laundry room

Of course, one of the main reasons why you’d fancy a stay at any serviced apartment is access to its convenient amenities, and you’ll find that Quincy House is no different. When the sun’s out, head up to the rooftop pool for some much-needed vitamin D and soak in panoramic views of the Holland Village neighbourhood from above.

The Paris Baguette bakery at One Holland Village.

When you’re up here, look a little to your right, and you’d realise that One Holland Village isn’t too far away; that’s right, an entire shopping mall is right next door. Quincy House is even connected to the mall via a sheltered walkway, so a host of food options and an all-encompassing CS Fresh supermarket is just a short stroll away from your temporary abode.

For those with some free time on their hands, you can refer to the handy Quincy Qurate Neighbourhood Guide for a list of the best sites to visit in the vicinity. It’s sorted into different spots based on your fancies; mellow café aficionados can hit up places like Cake Bar, while the more active can try their hand at Muay Thai classes at UBX Training.

You’ll be able to enjoy a complimentary cocktail at 2am:dessertbar with every dessert when you dine-in by presenting your Quincy key card.

15% off main dishes/à la carte food menu:

Of course, you’ll have to refer to your own devices when viewing the Adventure Day Guide for Instagrammable places in Singapore.

You can also choose to top up $200+ for an Adventure Day kit by the Quincy Qurators to bring on your adventure around the Little Red Dot. It consists of an Instax camera with 10 reels of film to capture your memories. It also comes with a card holder and a QR code which links to an e-guide of IG-worthy spots in Singapore.

Quincy House’s gym is stocked with equipment and machines you’d find at commercial gyms, such as a free weights section.

You might be far away from home, but it doesn’t mean you have to take unwanted breaks away from the iron temple. Thankfully, Quincy House agrees, as it has an expansive gym within its grounds. It’s by no means pint-sized – it has all the equipment you need to sculpt a Grecian bod, from power racks and dumbbells to state-of-the-art treadmills.

All stays at Quincy House come with Weekday Grab & Go breakfast from Mondays to Fridays, so you needn’t leave its premises for your first meal of the day. Should you find your belly rumbling throughout any part of the day, you can make a stop at the 24/7 Munchies Bar. It’s perpetually stocked with snacks to cure any hunger pangs, even in the dead of night.

Last but not least, you can swing by The Laundry Room to sort out your laundry sitch, especially if you’re planning for longer stays at Quincy House.

While the bigger apartments have washers and dryers within them, Deluxe Room guests can head to this common area to do their laundry. It’s free to use, and they’ve even spruced up the place with some bar chairs so you can grab a seat as the washing machines go whirl.

Book a stay at Quincy House in Holland Village

When it comes to serviced apartments, you’ll find that Quincy House’s offerings are pretty hard to beat. They’ve got thoughtful amenities at your fingertips, sweet deals at neighbouring joints, and most important of all, comfy accommodation that makes you feel right at home.

How to get to your hotels in Sentosa?

Getting to your hotels in Sentosa is easy. Should you be driving yourself to your hotels, do note that you will have to pay for a Sentosa Island entry fee which starts from $2, based on what time you enter the island.

Image credit: Sentosa

If you’re opting for public transport, taking the Sentosa Express monorail is your best option. You can board the monorail at VivoCity level 3, and rides will cost you $4. Do note that the Sentosa Express monorail is not open 24/7; the first train departs at 7am, while the last train departs at 12am.

You can also take a direct bus to enter Sentosa, bus no. 123. You can board it from Bukit Merah bus interchange, and it’ll make stops at Resort World Sentosa, Village Hotel, and Sentosa Express’ Beach Station. Another bus you can take is the RWS8 bus, which you can board from bus stops at VivoCity, and it’ll bring you to Resorts World Sentosa.

Image credit: Wikimedia Commons

Also you might want to call your hotels to check if they have a shuttle bus service which can ferry you to their doorsteps. For instance, guests staying at The Outpost Hotel Sentosa can board a complimentary shuttle bus from locations like VivoCity and Resorts World Sentosa for a fuss-free ride to their hotel.

However, if you’re looking to return to your hotel after hours, your best bet is to call a private hire vehicle to bring you to your hotel. This is because the Sentosa Express monorail, as well as public buses and even hotel shuttle buses do not operate till late.

If you’d like to save on the Gateway fee or Sentosa Express monorail tickets, you can walk in and out of Sentosa via the Sentosa Boardwalk. It’s a relatively leisurely route complete with shelter and travelators, taking you to the nearby VivoCity in 15 minutes or less.

Where to stay in Sentosa

Whether it’s going on that “Balinese” retreat or midnight swims amongst nature, these 13 Sentosa hotels for staycay retreats are the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. So don’t bother yourself with the tiresome travel details and visa woes, simply hop on over to our friendly neighbouring island for the staycation of your dreams.

1. Citadines Science Park

Studio lofts from $240/night

The Science Park would seem like the last place anyone would go to for a staycation. After all, it’s a tech hub nearer MNC HQs like Grab and Razer than the best Singapore attractions around. But that doesn’t mean you should sleep on Citadines Science Park for a weekend getaway.

One-Bedroom Deluxe.

If you were thinking of basic rooms with just a bed and bathroom, then you’re in for a sweet surprise. You can book a stay in one of their studio rooms (from $192/night), which has floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to Kent Ridge Park.

Living area of the loft rooms.

Otherwise, spring for a 1-bedroom apartment (from $328/night) or studio loft ($256/night). The apartment sleeps a maximum of 2, but there’s plenty of room for the gang to stop by for a birthday celebration. As for the lofts, you get a cosy nook for sleeping in, separate from the living area. Both come with a fully-equipped kitchenette if you want to whip up a meal.

Image credit: Citadines Science Park

There’s no need to stay cooped up in your room while you’re here. Stay fit and active by working out at the gym and rooftop infinity pool. If you must do work while on vacation, do so in the quiet of the shared working space that’s open 24 hours.

5. Pullman Singapore Hill Street

Inspired by luxury rail travel

Image credit: @pullmansghillstreet via Instagram

When you think of themed hotels, you might think of Ji Hotel Orchard with its MUJI store aesthetics or the industrial-inspired designs at the Warehouse Hotel. From October 2023, Pullman Singapore Hill Street has been added to the list.

Inspired by the golden era of travel by luxury trains, this new hotel near City Hall has lobbies lined with vintage luggage and suitcases. Guests will also be greeted by friendly staff dressed as porters.

Image credit: @pullmansghillstreet via Instagram

The rail-inspired decor carries over into the rooms, with fittings like a wardrobe that resemble passenger seating on an old-timey train. There’s even a well-placed mirror inside that adds to the illusion of it being a train car.

The hotel’s most prominent art installation has to be the 6m-tall KAWS sculpture outside the lobby.
Image credit: @adetraveller via Instagram

With tons of things to do in Chinatown, you can consider this spot for your next staycation. Opened in September 2023, Mondrian Singapore Duxton is one of the chicest new hotels in town. Heck, they’ve even got a 6m-tall KAWS sculpture greeting you outside the lobby.

Besides an Italian restaurant, the hotel is also home to Jungle Ballroom, a cocktail bar accessible via 2 secret entrances – a velvet curtain and a secret garden tunnel. The hotel is also located in the Duxton area – so you can easily find F&B options at the many restaurants and bars nearby.

Find a poolside bar on the rooftop with cabanas and plenty of art pieces lining the interiors.

The last time I slept in a bunk bed, it was on an island in the East and didn’t look a fraction as luxurious as the ones in The Serangoon House. Sporting British colonial-era furnishings, this hotel has bunk beds in each of its rooms.

For breakfast, head down to Together and Co, the hotel’s restaurant which offers an international buffet spread – there are even noodle and egg stations that prepare meals to your liking a la minute.

11. The Singapore Edition

Museum-level architecture

Those who love boutique luxury hotels would probably be familiar with EDITION Hotels, which has properties in cities like Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo, and West Hollywood. Well, the brand has made an entry to our shores with The Singapore Edition, where you’ll find 204 guestrooms and suites of minimal design but packed with hella luxurious furnishings.

Every EDITION hotel has the same spiral staircase, Singapore’s branch is no exception.
Image credit: @titus.teoh via Instagram

We’re talking, 65-inch flatscreens, Bang and Olufsen speakers, oak-planked floors, hand-sewn throw pillows, and adjustable louvres that draw back automatically like the ones you see in every chaebol’s house in K-dramas.

Image credit: @singaporeedition via Instagram

The Singapore EDITION also boasts a spa on their 2nd floor with all the facilities you would expect plus thermal pools, and an ice fountain – a machine that dispenses ice for chromotherapy.

Image credit: @fyshsingapore via Instagram

For food, head to FYSH, a seafood-focused restaurant helmed by an award-winning Australian chef. We’d recommend completing date night at The Roof, a poolside semi-al fresco bar, or the Punch Room, a swanky cocktail bar splashed in a shade of electric blue.

If you think the architecture looks familiar, you’d be right on the money as the hotel was built in collaboration with WOHA Architects, the Singapore-based firm behind PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering.

And while Robertson Quay is home to plenty of dining and drinking options you don’t even have to leave the hotel as it’s home to Chandu, a hidden speakeasy, and Entrepôt, a restaurant serving up Anglo-Asian cuisine.

11 Fancy Capsule Hotels In Singapore To Dominate With Your Squad On A Budget

Natalie Lim — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 02:19:34 +0000

Best capsule hotels in Singapore

Staycations are the new sleepovers. While we once took turns to crash our friends’ houses as kids under parental supervision, we’re all grown up now, and have slightly more atas squad parties in hotels.

But along with these chill sessions with juicy stories and lots of laughter, comes an empty wallet. It’s just not feasible to keep splashing cash on pricey hotel rooms, and while chalets are cheaper, they’re usually located in hard-to-reach corners of the country.

Fret not – hostels are “in” now, and we’ve found capsule hotels in Singapore that are perfect for that weekend sleepover with your squad, minus the hefty price tag.

1. Cube Boutique Capsule Hostel

Female-only rooms

8 Hotels In Singapore With The Best Views Of 2024’s F1 Grand Prix Race We Wouldn’t Mind Splurging On

Joycelyn Yeow — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 00:00:03 +0000

Hotels in Singapore with F1 views

Race car fanatics will know that it’s soon going to be that time of the year when we hear the sweet sounds of the roaring race car engines, and thunderous cheers from the audience stands. Returning back to Singapore from 20th-22nd September 2024 is the much anticipated F1 Singapore Grand Prix.

And for those going all out with an F1 weekend staycay, you’ll want to know which hotels have the best views of the track so you can catch all the action. So before you race off to book your tickets, here are the best hotels in Singapore with F1 views to consider for your grand weekend away.

All you need to know about Singapore Grand Prix 2024

The first Singapore Grand Prix was held back in 2008 – yes, it’s been 16 years since our Little Red Dot played host to the night race.

Just before coming to Singapore, the F1 drivers will be seen racing in Azerbaijan the weekend prior. Same as every year, all the Singapore Grand Prix action will be taking place around the Marina Bay Street Circuit which covers areas around the Singapore Flyer, MBS, Esplanade, and Padang.

Even if you haven’t caught Netflix’s Drive to Survive, we’re sure you’ll be familiar with names like Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso who are representing Mercedes-AMG and Aston Martin respectively. Look forward to seeing them and their iconic fast cars speed through our city streets on the weekend of 20th-22nd September 2024.

The 3-day affair starts with practice rounds on Friday, qualifiers on Saturday, and the finale on Sunday. Tickets can be purchased for individual days (from $128) as well as packages (from $358) for the entire weekend.

Do note that at this point, most of the tickets including walkabout ones are sold out. So, your next best bet to catch the race is by camping at one of the nearby rooftop bars or booking a hotel in Singapore with F1 views.

If you weren’t able to snag NDP tickets, some of the most popular places to perch would be Marina Barrage, Esplanade Gardens in front of Victoria Concert Hall Theatre, National Gallery’s rooftop and of course, Marina Bay.

To avoid being smushed and your IG pics being photobombed by stray hands and phones on the actual day itself, you can catch the fireworks during the rehearsal runs on the following dates:

NE shows: 6th, 13th & 20th July
Previews: 27th July & 3rd August

If you want to get into specifics, fireworks are set off 4 times during the entire parade, with the first starting around 7.30pm. You’ll also spot fireworks at the 7.50pm and 8pm mark, give or take a couple of minutes. The major explosive show begins right after the singing of the National Anthem, at about 8.10pm, and is said to last 10 minutes or so.

Even better, do it in the comfort of a hotel. Remember to let your hotel know when booking that you’d like a room on a higher floor, especially if it’s a distance away from the Padang. Here’s a price breakdown of hotels from where you can watch the sparkling display.

Hotel	Room	Price
Naumi Singapore	Patio Room	From $432
PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay	Urban Deluxe Room	From $607
Mandarin Oriental	Bay View Room	From $782

1. PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay

What we love about PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, are the views from its Urban Deluxe Room, which comes with a private balcony that faces the Padang. These rooms are still available for booking compared to their Marina Bay rooms and are a fraction of the cost with a better view. If you still want to get the classic MBS National Day pic, you can book their Signature Marina Bay Room on rehearsal dates.

You can also head up to Skyline Bar right by the hotel swimming pool for a tipple while watching the blazing fireworks display.

2. Naumi Singapore

Boutique hotel with chill pool area

Image credit: Naumi Hotels

For a boutique staycation in the CBD without breaking your budget, Naumi Singapore is your best bet. It’s known for its design-led rooms – think cheerful, Warhol-inspired suites or a zen Muji-like room with airy fabrics and light wooden furniture that’ll spark envy amongst your IG pals.

We recommend the Patio Rooms which come with a private outdoor deck surrounded by greenery, complete with a cosy daybed, for some peace and quiet. However, do note that there are no views of the fireworks from here.

When you’re ready to get in on the NDP action, head up to the rooftop infinity pool for unobstructed views of the National Day fireworks against the city skyline.

3. Mandarin Oriental

Panoramic sea views that peek into Marina Bay

Mandarin Oriental is one of the bougiest hotel chains in the world, with locations from London to Hong Kong. Its Singapore location atop Marina Square has great panoramic views including that of the Padang, making it a great pick to watch the National Day Parade.

Image credit: @hiro.loco0401 via Instagram

The obvious choice of room would be their Bay View Room, which, although slightly obstructed from the Padang, still allows you to see the rockets sparking and soaring. A good alternative to a room view is heading to either the hotel’s MO Bar or BAY@5, their al fresco lounge. Both have great access to the bay’s skyline and better vantage of the festivities on the other side.

A hidden gem hotel that may have slipped your mind is the Peninsula Excelsior, which is just behind the National Gallery, allowing for the clearest views of the Padang from a hotel. Their Executive Bay View rooms peeks right over the field where the parade will be held, where you’ll be able to catch the action.

5. Swissotel The Stamford

Tallest hotel in Singapore

A post shared by Swissôtel The Stamford (@swissotelthestamford)

They say the best view is always from the top, so naturally, you’ll want to watch the NDP by staying at Singapore’s tallest hotel, Swissotel The Stamford. This 5-star giant has rooms right up to the 65th floor, meaning you’ll be amongst all the explosions of colour and aerial displays by the Air Force.

Pop a bottle of bubbly and shout Majulah Singapura from the comfort of your own balcony in their Premium Marina Bay Room. The room has all the amenities you’d expect from a luxury room like a bathtub and a king-sized bed, but the private balcony adds oomph to the whole experience, especially from such a towering height.

Enjoy up-close fireworks views by booking a stay at Fairmont Singapore’s Deluxe Harbour Room. With panoramic views of Marina Bay, it’s no wonder that this hotel has been a long-time favourite amongst Singaporeans during NDP season.

If you’re lucky, some of their rooms are positioned right on top of the Padang so you can peer right at all the patriotic fun.

7. Pan Pacific Singapore

Jungle-themed rooms for the young ones

Image credit: Pan Pacific Singapore

Pan Pacific Singapore is a no-brainer when it comes to booking NDP staycations, especially with its location right by Marina Bay.

The hotel is even offering a Fireworks by the Bay Package, available from now until 9th August 2024. You can choose room categories from the Executive Marina Bay Room for sweeping views of the Marina Bay, or the Pacific Club Room for Padang parade views.

Do keep in mind that the hotel is quite a distance from the Padang so views may be slightly obstructed, however, if you’re on a high enough floor, you should still be able to watch the fireworks with ease.

For families, check into the Urban Jungle Suite, a themed suite which has separate sleeping zones for parents in the main bedroom; and a jungle-themed room with inflatable rocking hippo, a teepee, and a treehouse bunk bed for 2 kids.

The Urban Jungle Suites have no views of the Marina Bay, but the kids will be just as excited to head up to the swimming pool to catch the fireworks.

Is there a better place to celebrate Singapore’s birthday than a historically-significant landmark that was once home to the General Post Office? We think not.

Not only has The Fullerton Hotel Singapore witnessed important events of our nation’s past, its Marina Bay View Rooms have direct views of all the action. Cues Katy Perry’s Fireworks.

9. The Ritz-Carlton

One of Singapore’s most swoon-worthy photo spots ain’t Marina Bay Sands or Jewel Changi. No sir, it’s from the bathtub of The Ritz-Carlton. Specifically, the one by the iconic octagonal-shaped windows that look out to the most beautiful views of the bay.

Image credit: @ikamakeiron via Instagram

Their Marina Bay view rooms are by far the most in demand for this season, as they provide the best of both worlds with views from either side of the bay. The rooms start at $1,700 with their Deluxe Marina room and go up to a whopping $3,440/night in their Millenia Suite. If you’re planning to go all out and show off your parade pride, this is the place to do it.
