Best hotels near the Singapore F1 circuit

As is the case with many Grands Prix, a large number of the hotel options nearest the circuit are often booked up months, and sometimes years, in advance by the teams, press and other associates. For those that aren’t booked up, prices will often sky rocket due to the convenience offered and views of the track itself.

In any case, here are three options to consider if you are looking to stay closer to the track.

*All prices based on two people sharing and staying Thurs-Mon across the race weekend.

Pan Pacific ***** (From £4,191) – A five-star hotel in the heart of Marina Bay, directly overlooking part of the Formula 1 circuit. From higher-floor rooms and the Pacific Club Lounge, guests can see cars racing along Raffles Boulevard near Turn 2. It connects directly to Marina Square and sits within walking distance of several grandstands, making it one of the most convenient stays for the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia ***** (From £6,457) – A five-star luxury hotel on the Marina Bay waterfront, offering some of the best skyline and bay views in the city. Many harbour-facing rooms overlook Turns 18-20 of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, giving guests a glimpse of the cars as they race toward the iconic bayfront section. Its location places you within easy walking distance of key grandstands and the Paddock, making it a premium, convenience-focused stay for the Singapore Grand Prix.

Mandarin Oriental ***** (From £12,464) – A stylish five-star hotel set between Marina Bay and the Esplanade, offering impressive city and waterfront views. Rooms facing the bay look toward Raffles Boulevard and the early-lap section of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, letting guests catch glimpses of the cars as they sweep through the opening turns. Its central location puts you close to major grandstands and fan zones, ensuring that it combines luxury and convenience for any guests staying there for the Grand Prix.

Other hotel and accommodation options for the Singapore Grand Prix

Though it is unarguably an incredibly convenient and highly-coveted area of the city, you don’t need to stay in Marina Bay to enjoy the race. Singapore’s metro system – known locally as MRT – is fast, reliable, air-conditioned, and connects almost every neighbourhood to the circuit within minutes. If premium Marina Bay hotels are out of budget, you’ll still find plenty of excellent options across the city that offer an easy commute to the various circuit gates.

When choosing where to stay, it helps to match your hotel to the MRT line serving your entry gate. For Gates 1, 2, and 8, look for accommodation near stations on the Circle (Yellow) or Downtown (Blue) Lines. For Gates 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6, and 7, you’ll want to stay close to the North–South (Red) or East–West (Green) Lines, which run directly into the main access points around City Hall and Raffles Place. This makes getting to and from the track straightforward, even during peak race-day crowds.

The areas below each offer a wide range of accommodation styles and price points, from budget-friendly boutique hotels to mid-range chains and upscale properties, making them great bases for your Singapore Grand Prix weekend.

How far in advance should you book hotels near the Singapore Grand Prix circuit?

The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the busiest weekends of the year for the city, and hotels across all budgets fill up fast – especially those in Marina Bay or along MRT lines that offer quick access to the circuit. If you’re planning to stay somewhere with good quality, strong transport links, or a view of the track, it’s essential to book as far in advance as possible.

For first-time F1 fans, this can make a huge difference to your race experience. Securing your accommodation early not only guarantees better room choices but also helps you avoid inflated last-minute prices and the stress of limited availability.
