Hotels up to speed with Singapore Grand Prix, prices rise 75%

Find out the differing rates within the three days.

Race fans should brace themselves as hotel prices are set to increase during the F1 weekend.

Travel site trivago’s latest findings on hotel price developments for the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix reveals that rates for the entire three-day event average $305 compared to last year’s average of $381.

According to trivago, the daily hotel rate for the whole month of September is $240.

trivago spokesperson Haryati Afendy said: “Despite this considerable jump in prices, the silver lining is that race fans will be paying lesser compared to the same F1 period last year, when rates averaged a steeper S$381. The augmented supply of budget and mid-tier hotels this year may have cooled down price hikes fuelled by mega-events such as this.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
