Escape the crowds and watch the NDP fireworks with unobstructed views at these hotels
By Karen Fong -
Singapore is turning 58! And for the first time in a post-pandemic world, we will be celebrating at the Padang where the National Day fireworks will be making their iconic appearance as they're launched from Marina Bay.
It's an exciting mid-week celebration to have with the family, but if you don't fancy fighting the crowds at One Fullerton, the Esplanade or Marina Bay Sands, why not consider checking in to one of these Singapore hotels to catch the National Day fireworks with unobstructed views (and a comfortable room to boot?). These are the hotels to visit for the best views of the National Day fireworks (they've even got packages for the previews).
Besides being one of the most family-friendly hotels in Singapore, Pan Pacific Singapore also has fantastic views of the Padang and is offering their Harbour Studio rooms as part of their National Day Fireworks package.
Along with use of the facilities such as the pool and gym, the package includes complimentary breakfast for two. It's bookable for the previews as well as the actual celebration. Check here for more details.
