The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

This is why The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore should be your choice of accommodation for the F1 weekend: it’s located in such close proximity to the tracks and will host one of the most grandiose after-parties, The Podium Lounge in its grand ballroom. But before putting your party shoes on, don’t miss the exclusive dining offerings at Cantonese restaurant Summer Pavilion, or if you’ve got the munchies, opt for some late night grub at Dom Pérignon Champagne Bar. From $630 per night, the ‘Race In Style’ room package, which is available from 10 to 17 September 2018, comprises an overnight accommodation in a Grand Marina room, daily buffet breakfast for two persons at Colony and a pair of complimentary tickets to The Podium Lounge.

Smoke & Mirrors

Smoke & Mirrors sits, quite possibly one of our favourite rooftop bars that coincidentally overlooks the Grandstand, granting you one of the most spectacular vistas of the race. Keep your eyes peeled for its alcohol menu, ranging from delectable, playful cocktails to high-end wines. Take the opportunity to head there for a sunset cocktail or two, you won’t just enjoy a panoramic view of the city, you’ll also beat the crowd.

1-Altitude

1-Altitude immediately springs to mind when we speak of the best rooftop bars in Singapore — for obvious reasons. It sits on the tallest building, and while it isn’t exactly a vantage point, it offers a complete view of the circuit 282m above the ground.
