Where to Go after-dark?

The Amber Lounge experience needs no introduction. A celebrity and F1 driver hotspot, Amber Lounge Singapore, established since the first Singapore Grand Prix, has proven to be the sexiest nightlife destination in the Far East, merging the wild party spirit of the West with the opulence and splendour of the Orient. This year Amber Lounge is dripping with illusiveness as it presents its most desired package of the ‘Methusalem Table’, aptly put as the best table in the house with a choice of position, unrivalled service, presented with a six-litre Methusalem bottle of Champagne and unlimited bottle service. Not only will this year witness a one-of-a-kind fashion show featuring six F1 drivers, the evening’s agenda also includes a performance by international artist, Kelis. Need a table of eight? Amber Lounge awaits you.
