What’s a better way to start the New Year with a languid hotel staycation before the hustle in 2023 begins. What’s more, you can stay away from the crowds as you settle into your cosy yet spacious suite.

At The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, guests can lap up the stunning bird’s eye view of the fireworks at the Marina Bay area, which is making a return this year. Those who are staying at the Grand Kallang room, Grand Marina room, or Deluxe Suite can enjoy a complimentary bottle of champagne and festive amenities to help soak up in the festivities.

Over at Zouk, DJ Henry Fong will drive the crowd wild at one of the biggest year-end parties in town.

If you’re not a fan of all the partying and drinking, usher in the New Year with food instead. Indulge your love for American classics such as Southern fried chicken and burgers at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar’s inaugural New Year’s à la carte brunch buffet. Menu highlights include Chicken ‘N’ Watermelon ‘N” Waffles, and pancakes. Diners will get a choice of an entrée and dessert. Yardbird will also be hosting a special Fireworks menu from 10pm to 12am on New Year’s Eve, with food galore.

Over at the other side of Marina Bay, Altro Zafferano, celebrate the special occasion with four or five-course dinner set menus with dishes such as live scallop with almond milk and Hokkaido sea urchin ice cream.

The dazzling firework display at the Marina Bay area is back this year after a hiatus during the pandemic. Enjoy the resplendent show with food at the restaurant and microbrewery LeVeL33.

LeVeL33’s New Year’s Eve Set Dinner menu (which is only available on 31 Dec) comprises Southeast Asian-inspired dishes such as a Sustainable Australian Kingfish Ceviche served with spent grain crackers, smoked salmon roe, pomelo and dragon fruit.

Another vantage point is Kinki Restaurant + Bar, where you can view the fireworks from its waterfront locale. Their New Year’s Eve Rooftop Boozy Package comes with the Rooftop Snack Platter — a sharing portion of bar snacks and two bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne, a choice of spirit by bottle and three of Kinki’s signature cocktails such as their Earlgroni.
