This cosy boutique hotel is as luxurious as it is playful. 

In the plush rooms, the amenities come with cheeky tags — the hairdryer is labelled “blow me” and the remote box “turn me on”. But the kids don’t have to know what these mean — distract them with an Xbox or Nintendo Wii instead, which you can borrow at the lobby. 

On National Day evening, head up to the rooftop infinity pool that offers sweeping views of the city skyline, and, on the day, unobstructed views of the fireworks. 

And it being a relatively intimate hotel, it means you won’t have to squeeze with the crowd. 

41 Seah Street

Premier Inn may be a chain hotel, but its excellent location — smack in the middle of heritage and food capital Kampong Glam — and amenities like the rooftop swimming pool keep it swanky. 

Head up to (you guessed it), the rooftop pool to catch the fireworks, and make sure you factor in enough time to grab a cocktail at the rooftop bar before they start. 

700 Beach Road

Many of the rooms are newly renovated and generously spacious, so there’s that to take advantage of. 

The full length windows mean you get plenty of natural sunlight, or on the evening of National Day, some of the best views of the fireworks. 

ParkRoyal is known for their great service as well, so if you’re new to the area, they’ll take great care of you. 

7500 Beach Road

We love the pampering touches like the personalised butler service, little bites welcoming you upon arrival, an impressive 15-item long pillow menu and more at this stylish Hilton gem. 

Hotel guests get 20 per cent off a la carte spa treatments at the in-house spa, or while the afternoon away at a high tea sesh before you partake in the National Day festivities come sunset. 

2 Temasek Blvd

V Hotel Lavender enjoys the luxury of being away from the clamour of the city, yet still being easily accessible. 

It’s right above Lavencer MRT station, so ditch the car that day too (roads around the bay will be closed too). 

It’s near hipster cafes and humble eateries in Jalan Besar; alternatively, wind down at their Sky Terrace, which they pride as a one-stop recreation hub — that’s where their gym, pool, al fresco cafe and more sit. 

70 Jellicoe Road

Sophisticated and seductive, Pan Pacific Singapore brings more than creature comforts their fuss-free facilities, from integrated bathroom speakers to an unbeatable selection of cable channels for in-room entertainment. 

Their Harbour Studio rooms offer amazing views of the National Day fireworks. As part of the National Day Fireworks package, you’ll also get complimentary breakfast when you book. Check here for more details. 

7 Raffles Blvd, Marina Square

Mandarin Oriental proves itself worthy of its 5-star hotel rating time and again, with amenities like luxury spa treatments making it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Singapore life despite being conveniently smack in the middle of the city. 

Their hotel room seamlessly combining subtle oriental touches with luxurious contemporary comforts. Remember to ask for one of a high floor! 

5 Raffles Ave

This ultra-chic luxury designer hotel is the newest kid (technically a pair of twins — they’re two dramatic towers) around the block. 

A masterpiece of French designer Phillipe Starck, the hotel is equal parts elegant and edgy — think psychedelic decor that makes a statement without being tacky, not one but two infinity pools and more. 

What’s in store: Boutique bath salts in your bathroom, club-lounge access at the upgraded quarters, and more. 

Just don’t get too carried away until you forget what you’re here for — the fireworks!
