F1 fans, it’s time to buckle up. The 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix will race back onto the streets of Singapore from 20-22 September 2024 for one of the most exciting night races in the world.
Although most tickets for the adrenaline-fuelled event were probably sold out months before the F1 weekend, the good thing about the Marina Bay Street Circuit is that it runs right through the heart of the city.
This means that many of the city’s finest hotels and restaurants – including Michelin-starred establishments – which already offer unrivalled views of the Singapore skyline, can now also serve as excellent vantage points for watching the race, far from the jostling crowds below. Fans who have already secured their tickets will certainly appreciate being so close to the action.

Contemporary British restaurant Jaan by Kirk Westaway towers above most of its culinary rivals in Singapore. Not only because it has been awarded two MICHELIN stars since the 2021 edition of the guide – which stands for “excellent cuisine worth a detour” – but also, quite literally, thanks to its lofty location 70 floors above the streets of Marina Bay. In other words, it is almost perfectly positioned for any F1 fans who want to watch the races while enjoying reimagined British classics at Westaway’s produce- and terroir-focused high table.
Jaan by Kirk Westaway is located at Swissôtel The Stamford, Equinox Complex, Level 70, 2 Stamford Road, 178882, Singapore. Book your table here.

Summer Pavilion
A MICHELIN star
MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2024
Although MICHELIN stars Summer Pavilion While the restaurant doesn’t offer the same million-dollar view of the racetrack as the other contenders on this list, it does offer a touch of old-fashioned Cantonese luxury within the lavish confines of an elegant dining room. Think hand-painted tableware, hearty, double-boiled soups with nourishing and luxurious ingredients, and a selection of rare, specialty teas to wash it all down. The restaurant’s location on the third floor of the The Ritz-Carlton Millennia Singapore makes it an ideal place for any fan who wants to enjoy a Chinese feast before – or after – their team makes history on the racetrack.
Summer Pavilion is located at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia, Level 3, 7 Raffles Avenue, 039799, Singapore. Book here.
