"Taylor Swift Concert Weekend Sparks Surge in Jalan Besar Hotel Room Rates: ST Signature Hits S$530, Arton Boutique Hotel Soars to S$1,320"

 

Hotel room rates in Singapore have gone up on the first weekend of March 2024, which can be attributed to Taylor Swift’s concerts happening over March 2, 3 and 4 from Saturday to Monday.

Her Singapore-exclusive six shows at the 60,000-capacity National Stadium in Kallang is expected to result in an influx of visitors to Singapore, with the other three shows scheduled over March 7, 8 and 9.

Hotels closer to Orchard and Marina Bay have similarly priced their hotel rooms above the norm as well.
