Hotel room rates for the Singapore Grand Prix shoot up to $880

Compared to 2022, room rates have risen by 27%.

The Singapore Grand Prix has pushed up hotel room rates in Singapore.

Data from FCM Consulting showed that business travellers who pre-booked three to six months before visiting Singapore during the racing event paid an average of $800 for their hotel rooms.

The 2023 average hotel home rates represent a 27% uptick from last year when travellers only paid $693 for hotel rooms on average during Grand Prix season.

The high prices of accommodation and airfare due to the Singapore Grand Prix, however, “have not impacted the number of business travellers visiting Singapore,” said FCM Consulting.

“Hotel room rates in Singapore have skyrocketed since early this year but that has not deterred Singapore’s Hotel Occupancy levels. Q1-2023 was an average of 87% but Q2-2023 is at 122%, ” Scott Reddie, Chief Business Officer, FCM Asia.

“This reflects the demand for business travellers coming to Singapore for both meetings and events albeit Singapore being the third most expensive city to stay in Asia,” Reddie added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
