National Day 2023: Fancy A Staycation? These Hotels Offer The Best View Of NDP Fireworks At The Padang
Singapore’s National Day (9 August) falls on a Friday this year, making the public holiday that comes with it extra-appealing for staycation lovers that don’t have the benefit of a flexible schedule.
Retirees or silvers looking to get up close and personal to the National Day Parade’s (NDP) signature firework finale – perhaps for some action photography? – will be well-served by getting a room around the Padang, where the proceedings will be held this year.
This is our list compiling the best staycation deals and packages from hotels in the Civic District to catch the NDP fireworks display from.
Even if you can’t snag a sleepover on the big day itself, you can always enjoy the National Day Previews on 27 July and 5 August.
Be warned though: These displays might not be as extravagant as the main affair.

While Peninsula Excelsior Hotel isn’t offering a specific National Day staycation package this year (as at time of writing), its location just 400m from the site of the NDP is too good to pass up for anyone looking to celebrate the national holiday in style.
If its Padang-facing views somehow aren’t close enough, the hotel’s Sky Lounge on level 22 is open for buffet reservations on 9 August, providing free-flow seafood, meats and booze along with a front-row view of the festivities.

The Fireworks by the Bay package at Pan Pacific Singapore is another viable staycation option for NDP-goers.
Apart from you’re the comfort of your room, you also get access to several amenities during your stay, including the club lounge, outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre, along with other niceties like breakfast for two.
The package is available now for both NDP on 9 August as well as the upcoming New Year’s Eve on 31 December. Hey, it’s never too early to start planning!

The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore
Another hotel well-situated for viewing of NDP fireworks is The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
It is probably one of the best hotels in the area for glorious, unobstructed views of the bay (and Padang!) – if you’re willing to fork out for a pricier-than-average staycation.
Their safari-themed rooms can help keep kids entertained while you’re waiting for the main event – the all-important National Day fireworks – to start proper after all the performances.

For a magnificent view of 2024’s NDP fireworks across the bay, Marina Bay Sands Singapore can’t be beat – especially once you’ve factored in its posh suites and easy check-in app that allows you to skip the queue at the concierge.
Silvers who like to boogie can head for an afterparty at Ce La Vi, one of Singapore’s highest nightlife spots.

Swissotel The Stamford offers a five-star staycation experience strategically located across the Padang.
More importantly, the 73-storey monolith has remained the tallest hotel in Singapore since opening in 1986 (when it was the tallest in the world), with no other buildings separating it from the Padang – meaning unparalleled views of NDP fireworks on 9 August.
You can even head up to rooftop watering hole SKAI Bar on the 70th floor to celebrate National Day with a Singapore sling.
