pan pacific, MO, Marina bay sands, fullerton and fullerton bay would have better odds I would have thought

in the end we went with MO. Best view and was best price for that, Marina Bay and ritz. Again be sure to book marina bay view room and email them to advise.

also do check the dates for the fireworks. For Chinese New Year they have several dates and times. Not sure if you mean Chinese New Year or 31st Dec.

To watch fireworks head over the bridge to marina and watch there we got space okay. We did one night from room and one night on waterfront for the Chinese New Year

The pan pacific, mandarin oriental, swisshotel or Fullerton (depending on room position) would give better unblocked views. I’ve had marina facing rooms on both NYE and CNY over the years, and although I could partially see the fireworks, it wasn’t a fantastic view.

I appreciate the "view of NYE fireworks" from the hotel, but I can't imagine not just joining the merry crowd at the Marina with a bottle of bubbles to enjoy the show (unless is absolutely pouring rain)!
