  • General Chinese New Year Hotel Tips:
  • 1. The view from Marina Bay is breath-taking. Spectacular views of city’s skyline can be seen right from the room.
  • 2. Though, at a premium, these hotels offer numerous luxury facilities such as spas, famous bars and restaurants, elaborate rooms and personal buttler service. These services make your visit worth.
  • 3. Most importantly, the famous fireworks display during New Year can be seen directly from the comfort of your room (sometimes even from your marble bath tub). This is great as most of the prime spots of the city are too crowded during this event.

Good day, I’m planning to stay in a hotel this coming new year for the fireworks.

I’m a photographer and unobstructed views are a must for me. Which of the hotels has a walkout balcony instead of just a fixed window with a view of the harbor.

Thanks.

Love your blog. It’s a must read for Singapore travelers.
