Where to stay: Book within walking distance of Marina Bay Sands if your budget allows. Otherwise, choose a hotel near an MRT station with an easy connection to Marina Bay; during F1 week, reliable rail access matters more than the neighborhood name.

How long should you stay for TOKEN2049 Singapore?
TOKEN2049 itself runs for two days, October 7–8, 2026, at Marina Bay Sands. The useful trip is longer: side events begin before the conference, and Singapore’s F1 Grand Prix follows on October 9–11.
- Conference only: October 6–9 (3 nights).
- Conference plus the strongest side-event days: October 5–10 (5 nights).
- Full TOKEN2049 and F1 week: October 5–12 (7 nights).
For most attendees who want the full networking week, October 5–12 is the best plan. It gives you time for parties, mixers, hackathons, dinners and panels without squeezing every meeting into the two conference days.
Where should you stay?
Best for convenience: Marina Bay or anywhere within walking distance of Marina Bay Sands. The main conference is there, and many satellite events cluster nearby. These hotels often sell out months ahead.
Best fallback: a hotel close to an MRT station with a straightforward connection to Marina Bay. This is more important than it sounds: F1 setup and race-day closures can slow taxis and ride-hailing across central Singapore.
Getting around during TOKEN2049 and F1 week
- MRT: The most reliable option during road closures. You can tap in with a contactless Visa or Mastercard; no separate transit card is required.
- Grab and taxis: Fine outside race closures, but expect detours, surge pricing and delays from October 9–11.
Useful trip-planning links
These are the options we would send to a friend. A few may pay us a referral commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.
- BitFree crypto card for card spending.
- eSIMs: Airalo and Saily both work well if you want data as soon as you land.
- Hotels: Compare Booking.com and Agoda; Agoda sometimes shows better Singapore rates.
